Medical Weight Loss for Greeley Residents
Compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and phentermine for Greeley adults seeking provider-led medical weight loss. Peak Medical Wellness sits in Fort Collins, about 35 minutes west on Highway 34 — with a real Greeley connection through one of our two licensed providers.
Greeley residents are part of the larger Northern Colorado community Peak Medical Wellness serves, with our Fort Collins clinic about 35 minutes west on Highway 34. The connection runs both ways: Carolyn Bottone-Post, CNM, DNP, FACNM — one of our providers — is also an Associate Professor at the University of Northern Colorado School of Nursing in Greeley, where she trains the next generation of nurse practitioners.
Greeley patients seeking compounded GLP-1 weight loss, bioidentical hormone therapy, peptide therapy, or thyroid optimization can access the same provider-directed, lab-first care that Peak's Fort Collins patients receive. Whether you're driving in for a hormone panel and consultation, a follow-up dose adjustment, or in-clinic injection training, appointments are designed so the drive feels worth it.
Peak Medical Wellness is women-owned and run, with two licensed nurse-midwives directing care — a quality of clinical attention that's often hard to find closer to home.
Greeley patients at Peak Medical Wellness receive the same provider-led weight loss program as our Fort Collins patients:

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists mimic a hormone your gut naturally releases after eating. They reduce hunger signals in the brain, slow gastric emptying so you feel full longer, and improve insulin response. The result is appetite control that lasts hours after a meal — and meaningful, sustained weight loss for most patients in supervised programs.
Two active ingredients lead the modern GLP-1 weight loss landscape: semaglutide and tirzepatide. Tirzepatide tends to produce greater average weight loss in clinical trials; semaglutide has a longer track record. Both are once-weekly subcutaneous injections that patients self-administer at home after brief in-clinic training.
Most patients searching for GLP-1 therapy in the Greeley area have come across the brand-name medications. Here's how the active ingredients map to those brands:
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic® (FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes) and Wegovy® (FDA-approved for chronic weight management) — both manufactured by Novo Nordisk. The two products share the same active ingredient and differ mainly in FDA indication and packaging.
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro® (FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound® (FDA-approved for chronic weight management) — both manufactured by Eli Lilly. Mounjaro® and Zepbound® contain the same active ingredient at the same doses.
Peak Medical Wellness prescribes compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide — prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies — when clinically appropriate. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same as or interchangeable with brand-name products. Your provider will walk you through the differences, including FDA-approved options. Compounded GLP-1 therapy is not a generic substitute for Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®.
We do not prescribe brand-name Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®. Greeley patients often choose compounded GLP-1 therapy for cost and supply reasons; others prefer brand-name medications when they're available and covered by insurance. Both are reasonable paths — and the right one depends on your medical history and goals.
GLP-1 weight loss treatment is generally appropriate for adults who meet certain medical and lifestyle criteria:
Many of our patients aren't severely overweight — they've plateaued, carry metabolic risk, or have already tried diets and need a more targeted clinical approach. Your initial consultation includes a candid discussion of whether GLP-1 therapy fits your situation.
Your first visit at Peak Medical Wellness includes a complete intake, a review of your weight history and any current medications, baseline labs, and a personalized treatment plan. Plan for about 45 minutes for the initial visit, plus the 35-minute drive each way.
After you're established on a protocol, follow-up visits are typically every 4 to 8 weeks during dose adjustment, then less frequently for maintenance. Many Greeley patients combine appointments with errands or family visits in Fort Collins. The clinic is in southwest Fort Collins near W Drake Rd and the CSU Veterinary Hospital, with free on-site parking and easy access from Highway 34, College Avenue, or I-25.

About 35 minutes from most of Greeley, depending on starting point and traffic. We're located at 2629 Redwing Rd, Suite 298 in southwest Fort Collins. The most common route from Greeley is west on Highway 34, then north on College Avenue or I-25 to Drake Road.
We don't have a physical Greeley clinic — all in-person appointments are at our Fort Collins location. However, one of our providers, Carolyn Bottone-Post, CNM, DNP, FACNM, is an Associate Professor at the University of Northern Colorado School of Nursing in Greeley, so the Greeley connection is real even though the clinic itself is in Fort Collins.
Initial consultations, intake labs, and in-clinic injection training happen in person at our Fort Collins clinic. Most follow-up dose adjustments can be coordinated by phone or message once you're established on a protocol, with periodic in-person visits for lab work and clinical reassessment. We design the schedule so the drive feels worth it.
We prescribe compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide for GLP-1 weight loss, along with phentermine for patients who prefer or need a non-injectable option. All prescriptions are provider-directed and dosed based on your individual labs, response, and goals.
No. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved. They are not the same as or interchangeable with brand-name medications. Your provider can explain the differences and whether an FDA-approved option makes more sense for you.
Greeley patients make the drive west on Highway 34, about 35 minutes, for hormone care as well as weight loss. Women's hormone therapy, from perimenopause and menopause care onward, is led by Cindy Dean, APRN, CNM, a certified nurse-midwife with more than 30 years in women's health. For men, men's hormone therapy includes testosterone replacement and enclomiphene, an oral option for men who are thinking about having children.
The first visit is in person: your provider reviews your symptoms and history, and if you decide to move forward, labs can be drawn that same day for a fee (or bring recent results from your primary care provider), so there is no second trip just for a blood draw. Follow-ups are scheduled with the drive in mind, and Wednesday evening and Saturday morning hours give Greeley patients options outside the usual workday.
Peak Medical Wellness serves Greeley, Colorado residents with provider-directed medical weight loss — compounded GLP-1 therapy and personalized care, 35 minutes west on Highway 34 in Fort Collins.
