Medical Weight Loss in Fort Collins
Peak Medical Wellness is a Fort Collins weight loss clinic offering compounded GLP-1 weight loss injections — compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide — as well as phentermine and provider-led metabolic programs for Northern Colorado adults. Every plan at Peak Medical Wellness starts with an in-person visit and labs here in Fort Collins, with a licensed provider who follows your care from start to finish.
At our Fort Collins weight loss clinic, we blend prescription-grade therapies, metabolic support, and ongoing care. We focus on safe, guided fat loss rather than quick fixes — and we offer a full range of medications so we can match treatment to your body, your goals, and your insurance situation.
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 dominate the modern GLP-1 weight loss landscape: semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) and tirzepatide (a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist). 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.
Looking for a weight loss clinic near you that offers compounded GLP-1 therapy? We prescribe and manage compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and phentermine at our Fort Collins clinic, with provider oversight and ongoing dose adjustment based on your response.
Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist used clinically for chronic weight management. It works by curbing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and helping regulate blood sugar — so you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer. At Peak Medical Wellness we prescribe compounded semaglutide prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies, with most patients seeing meaningful changes in appetite and weight over 3–6 months of provider-supervised treatment. Because we adjust your dose based on how you respond — not a fixed schedule — compounded semaglutide can be a flexible, cost-accessible entry point into GLP-1 weight loss for Northern Colorado adults.
Learn more in our complete guide to semaglutide for weight loss — how it works, dosing, and what to expect.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist — meaning it activates two metabolic pathways instead of one. At Peak Medical Wellness we prescribe compounded tirzepatide prepared by licensed United States compounding pharmacies. In clinical trials of the FDA-approved medications, tirzepatide tended to produce greater average weight loss than semaglutide; individual results vary, and compounded versions were not studied in these trials.

Phentermine is an oral appetite suppressant — an option for patients who don't tolerate GLP-1 injections, want a non-injectable medication, or need a more affordable approach. Our Fort Collins providers prescribe phentermine when it's clinically appropriate and monitor your response over time.
Learn more in our complete guide to phentermine for weight loss — including how it works, who it's for, and what to expect.
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in brand-name medications including Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. These FDA-approved brand-name products are manufactured by major pharmaceutical companies (Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly) and prescribed widely for type 2 diabetes management and chronic weight management.
At Peak Medical Wellness, we prescribe 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. We do not prescribe brand-name Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®.
Many Fort Collins patients come to us specifically because compounded GLP-1 therapy is often more accessible — both in cost and in supply — than the brand-name alternatives. Whether a compounded or brand-name option is right for you depends on your goals, medical history, insurance situation, and individual response. Our providers walk you through these considerations during your consultation rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all answer.

If you've been searching for a "weight loss clinic near me" or "weight loss injections near me" in Northern Colorado, we offer the full compounded GLP-1 menu, clear care plans, and the kind of provider-led care that supports real, sustainable results. Patients travel to us from Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, and surrounding communities.
Most patients come to our Fort Collins clinic, and many drive in from Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, Wellington and nearby communities. If you're closer to one of these areas, start here:
A pattern we see often at Peak Medical Wellness: patients come in for weight loss, get great results, and then realize that hormones were part of the picture all along. Declining testosterone in men, perimenopause and menopause in women, and thyroid imbalances in both — all of these affect metabolism, body composition, energy, and how well your body responds to weight loss treatment in the first place.
Weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work — but they work better when underlying hormone imbalances are also addressed. Many patients who started with us for weight loss continue with men's TRT or women's hormone replacement therapy because the combination supports muscle retention during weight loss, sustains energy, improves sleep, and addresses the symptoms that diet and exercise alone won't fix.
Your provider decides which labs fit your symptoms — weight-loss labs, hormone labs or both — and many patients with hormone-related symptoms have both drawn at the first visit. It's often the missing piece that explains why “everything used to work and now nothing does.” Learn more about menopause and perimenopause care, testosterone therapy for women and men's hormone therapy.
This program is best for people who want medically supervised weight loss with accountability, professional dosing, and a long-term focus on metabolic health.
Ideal candidates include those with stubborn weight, appetite dysregulation, diabetes risk, or previous diet fatigue.
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're people who've plateaued, who carry metabolic risk, or who've 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.

Baseline labs. From your primary care provider if they're recent, or drawn in our office, so your plan is built on your results.

We offer compounded GLP-1 weight loss injections — compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide — as well as phentermine, appetite support, metabolic optimization, and ongoing provider monitoring at our Fort Collins clinic.
Medical weight loss combines clinician oversight, prescription therapies, and metabolic testing. It is tailored to your hormones, appetite, and long-term health rather than generic calorie cutting.
Yes. We use lab testing to personalize your treatment, monitor safety, and ensure your metabolic hormones are optimized throughout the program.
Everyone responds differently. Your provider reviews how you're feeling at each follow-up and adjusts your plan.
Yes. Our weight loss programs are personalized for Fort Collins and Northern Colorado patients and are overseen by licensed providers to ensure safety, lab monitoring, and proper dosing.
GLP-1 medications are widely studied and broadly considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a licensed provider. At Peak Medical Wellness, every patient receives a baseline evaluation, lab monitoring, and dose adjustments based on response. Patients with certain medical histories — including personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2 syndrome, or active pancreatitis — are not candidates. We screen for these during the initial consultation.
There is no single “best” GLP-1 — the right choice depends on your medical history, goals, and how your body responds. In clinical trials of the FDA-approved medications, tirzepatide tended to produce greater average weight loss than semaglutide, while semaglutide has a longer track record. Compounded versions were not studied in these trials, and individual results vary. Our Fort Collins providers help you choose based on your specific situation.
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same as or interchangeable with brand-name products. At Peak Medical Wellness, we prescribe compounded GLP-1 therapy when clinically appropriate, with every patient receiving a provider-led evaluation, personalized dosing, and ongoing follow-up labs to support safety throughout treatment. Compounded medications are dispensed through licensed pharmacies that follow federal and state regulatory standards.
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.
Yes. We prescribe phentermine when it's clinically appropriate. It's an oral appetite suppressant — separate from GLP-1 medications — that can work well for patients who don't tolerate GLP-1 injections or want a non-injectable option. Our providers evaluate whether phentermine fits your health profile and goals.
Absolutely. Many patients combine weight loss with hormone optimization, peptide therapy, or recovery services to support overall wellness in Northern Colorado.
Yes. Peak Medical Wellness regularly sees weight loss patients from across Northern Colorado. Initial consultations, intake labs, and in-clinic injection training happen in person at our Fort Collins clinic; most follow-up adjustments can be coordinated remotely once you're established on a protocol.
It starts with an in-person visit at our Fort Collins clinic and labs drawn on site. A provider reviews your history and results, decides whether medication fits you, and follows you with scheduled visits and repeat labs.
We don't publish prices because plans differ by medication, visit schedule and labs; call or book and we'll walk you through it. Peak Medical Wellness accepts HSA and FSA cards.
Peak Medical Wellness is a self-pay clinic; our weight loss services are generally not covered by insurance. We provide itemized receipts you can submit to your plan for possible reimbursement or use with an HSA or FSA.
Both options exist. If a compounded medication is part of your plan, your provider tells you it is compounded and not FDA-approved and discusses FDA-approved alternatives before you decide.
Peak Medical Wellness sees patients Wednesday through Saturday and is accepting new patients. Book online any time or call during clinic hours.
Before treatment, your provider looks at baseline labs: a comprehensive metabolic panel (kidney and liver function, glucose, and electrolytes), hemoglobin A1C, and a thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4). If you have recent results from your primary care provider, bring them, and your provider will tell you whether anything else is needed; otherwise we draw the panel in our office for a fee. Your provider reviews the results with you and may order follow-up labs as your plan progresses.
Many patients can. Your provider reviews your current dose, how you've responded, and any side effects, then decides whether switching makes sense for you and how to start. Changes are made at a provider visit, not automatically.
Let us know. Your provider can adjust your dose or timing or recommend supportive care, and follow-up visits are built into your plan so adjustments happen along the way. If a side effect needs a provider's attention, call the clinic rather than waiting for a routine check-in.
Yes. Peak Medical Wellness accepts HSA and FSA cards. What qualifies depends on your plan and IRS rules, so check with your plan administrator. We can provide itemized receipts.
