Stuck at the Same Weight No Matter What You Try?
We start with labs and a real medical plan—not random shots. Tirzepatide and retatrutide work better when your provider knows what's actually going on inside.

Why Normal Diets Stop Working
It's not about willpower. Your body is fighting you—and there's a reason.
Metabolism Slows Down
Years of dieting tell your body to hold onto fat. It thinks you're starving—so it burns less and stores more.
Hormones Get in the Way
Insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and hunger hormones can all block weight loss—even when you're doing everything "right."
Cravings Aren't Your Fault
Your brain sends hunger signals that feel impossible to ignore. It's biology, not a lack of discipline.

How Medical Weight Loss Works at Range
Medical weight loss in Newport Beach, done right. We don't just hand you a prescription—we figure out what's going on first.
Get Your Labs
We run a comprehensive panel that checks your hormones, thyroid, metabolic markers, and inflammation. This tells us WHY you're stuck—not just that you are.
Choose Essential ($350) or Elite ($750). Both include your provider consult.
Day 1 → results in 3–4 daysMeet with Your Provider
Your provider reviews your labs line by line. They explain what's off, what it means, and whether GLP-1 medication makes sense for you. No rushing. No pressure.
Days 5–6Start Your Protocol
If appropriate, we prescribe tirzepatide or retatrutide as part of a monitored plan. We may also recommend nutrition guidance, activity changes, or other tools like HRT or peptides if your labs suggest it.

✓ Follow-up labs to track progress and safety
Your first step is booking your labs. We take it from there.
Why GLP-1s Work Better with Labs
The medication helps. But knowing what's going on inside makes it safer and more effective.
🎯 Right Dose for Your Body
Your metabolism isn't the same as everyone else's. We adjust dosing based on your labs, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
🔬 Catch What Else Is Off
Thyroid issues? Insulin resistance? Hormone imbalance? We check for factors that could slow your progress—or explain why past attempts failed.
🛡️ Safer with Monitoring
GLP-1s are powerful. We track your labs over time to make sure everything stays in a healthy range as your body changes.
📈 Better Long-Term Results
When we address the root causes—not just suppress appetite—you're more likely to keep the weight off after you stop.
We use tirzepatide and retatrutide—the most effective GLP-1 medications available—sourced from US-licensed pharmacies only.
Real Patients, Real Results
Here's what our weight loss patients are saying.
"Down 22 lbs in 8 weeks. But the biggest change is that I'm not thinking about food all day. The cravings just... stopped. I finally feel in control."
"I've tried every diet since my 30s. This is the first thing that actually worked. My provider found my thyroid was off too—no one else caught that."
"Lost 30 lbs and kept it off. They didn't just give me a shot—they checked my hormones, adjusted my dose, and actually followed up. Huge difference."
"My energy is back. I'm sleeping better. And I've dropped 3 pant sizes. I was skeptical at first, but the labs showed exactly what was going on."
"The team is generous with their time and information. They take the time to really help you prioritize your well-being."
"Honest, patient, and funny staff. Super professional. I never feel rushed or pressured to do or try anything I'm not sure about."
Individual results vary based on starting point, adherence to protocol, and how your body responds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about medical weight loss at Range.
Is GLP-1 medication right for me?
GLP-1s like tirzepatide and retatrutide work best for people with stubborn weight who haven't had success with diet and exercise alone. That said, not everyone is a good candidate. Your provider will review your labs and health history to make sure it's safe and appropriate for you. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you—and explore other options.
How fast will I lose weight?
Most patients start noticing changes in 4–8 weeks once their dose is dialed in. Typical results range from 1–2 lbs per week, though some lose more. We don't promise overnight miracles—but the results are real and sustainable when done right.
Do I have to stay on the medication forever?
No. Many patients use GLP-1s for 6–12 months to reach their goal, then taper off while maintaining with healthy habits. Your provider will help you plan for the long term—including what happens after you stop.
What does the first visit look like?
First, you get your labs drawn (Day 1). Results come back in 3–4 days. Then you meet 1:1 with a provider (usually Days 5–6) who reviews your labs, explains what they mean, and recommends a plan. If GLP-1s make sense, you can start by Day 7.
What do labs cost—and are they required?
Yes, labs are required. We don't prescribe GLP-1s without understanding what's happening inside your body first. The Essential Panel is $350 and the Elite Panel is $750—both include your 1:1 provider consult. Most GLP-1 treatment plans run approximately $350–$550 per month depending on medication and dose. We review all costs with you before you start anything—no surprises.
Can this work if I've failed other programs?
Yes—and that's actually who we help most. If you've tried diets, challenges, other clinics, or even GLP-1s without success, there's usually a reason. Our labs often uncover thyroid issues, hormone imbalances, or metabolic problems that were never addressed. Once we know what's going on, we can fix the right things.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are mild nausea, especially in the first few weeks. This usually improves as your body adjusts. We start with low doses and increase gradually. Your provider monitors you throughout and can adjust if needed.
Do you accept insurance?
We're a cash-pay clinic and don't bill insurance directly. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds. We can provide documentation if you want to submit for potential reimbursement.

It starts with labs and a real plan—not random shots. Schedule your consult and find out what's been holding you back.
