You don't need another crash diet.
You May Need A Better Medical Strategy.
Balm Metabolic™ is a clinician-led medical weight-management program designed to help you understand the medical, metabolic, hormonal, behavioral, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting your weight.
Our goal is not simply to help you lose weight. We want to help you build a personalized strategy that supports better health, improved energy, sustainable habits, and long-term wellness.
Completing an assessment does not guarantee that medication will be prescribed. Treatment recommendations are made following an individualized clinical evaluation.
Weight Is More Complex Than Willpower.
Many people have been told to simply eat less and exercise more. But weight can be influenced by several interconnected factors.
At Balm of Gilead, we look beyond the scale to better understand what may be contributing to your weight concerns.
Hormonal changes
Sleep quality
Stress
Medications
Medical conditions
Insulin resistance
Metabolic changes
Nutrition patterns
Muscle mass
Age
Genetics
Personalized Care Built Around You.
Your Balm Metabolic™ program may include the following components, selected according to your history and clinical needs
Comprehensive medical and weight-history review
Review of current medications and supplements
Evaluation of health conditions that may affect weight
Lifestyle, sleep, stress, and nutrition assessment
Laboratory testing when clinically indicated

This is not a promise to diagnose every condition. These are factors that may be considered during the evaluation.
Medication May Be One Part Of Your plan.
Eligible adults may be evaluated for prescription weight-management treatment, including GLP-1 medications or other options when clinically appropriate. The treatment selected, if any, depends on:
Medical history
Contraindications
State availability
Clinician judgment
Current medications
Laboratory findings
Previous treatment response
Weight-management goals
Pharmacy availability
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments that may help support weight management by influencing appetite, fullness, food intake, and other metabolic processes.
They are not appropriate for everyone.
Patients must complete an appropriate clinical evaluation before treatment is recommended. Monitoring and follow-up are important parts of care.
This information is educational and does not promise a specific amount of weight loss.
Requesting a specific medication does not guarantee that it will be prescribed.
Your clinician will recommend the treatment option considered appropriate and safe for your individual needs.
Could Medical Weight Management Be Right For You?
Medical weight-management treatment may be considered for adults who meet appropriate clinical criteria and are seeking professional support with weight-related health concerns. You may be a candidate if you:
Have struggled to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone
Have regained weight after previous attempts
Have weight-related health concerns
Are experiencing metabolic or hormonal changes
Want clinician-guided treatment and ongoing support
Are willing to complete recommended monitoring and follow-up
Some patients may need laboratory testing, medical records, specialist clearance, or an in-person examination before treatment.
