Weight Loss

Diets and gym memberships fail plenty of people who follow them faithfully, and the reason isn’t always sheer willpower alone. Michael Cherkassky, MD, Tammy Tyler, NP, and the team at Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness in Fort Worth, Texas, offer medical weight loss that treats the hormonal and metabolic barriers standing in your way. Treatment options include GLP-1 medications, phentermine, and vitamin injections. Call the Fort Worth office or book your consultation online to get started.

What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss pairs prescription treatment with clinical oversight so you address the biology working against you. Hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid function, medications, sleep, and stress all influence how your body stores and burns energy. When one of those is off, cutting calories rarely produces lasting results.

The team at Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness evaluates your metabolic picture through bloodwork and a detailed health history, then designs a plan based on your results.

Why is losing weight so difficult?

Several factors work against you, no matter how carefully you eat or how often you exercise, such as:

• A slower metabolism that resists a calorie deficit
• Insulin resistance and blood sugar swings
• Thyroid conditions and hormonal shifts
• Appetite signals that stay switched on
• Medications that promote weight gain
• Poor sleep and elevated stress hormones
• Genetics that shape where your body stores fat

Your bloodwork shows the team which of these apply to you, and your treatment plan follows from there.

What weight loss treatments does the practice offer?

Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness offers several prescription and injectable treatments, and the team recommends the ones that suit your labs, health history, and how you have responded to past attempts. Many patients use more than one at the same time:

GLP-1 medications

These pharmaceutical-grade medications mimic a hormone your gut releases after eating. They slow digestion, reduce appetite, and improve how your body handles blood sugar.

Phentermine

Phentermine works on the brain pathways that regulate hunger and energy use, which helps patients who feel constant appetite despite eating enough.

B-12 and lipotropic injections

These vitamin injections support energy production and fat metabolism, and many patients use them alongside another treatment.

Nutrition and lifestyle guidance

The team helps you build eating and activity habits that hold up once you reach your goal weight.

How does a weight loss plan come together?

Your first visit covers your weight history, previous attempts, current medications, and lab results. The team explains which treatments fit your situation, what each one does, and what side effects to watch for. 

Follow-up visits track your progress and adjust your dosing as your body responds. Most patients see steady changes over several months rather than dramatic drops, and that pace holds up better long-term.
