Medical Weight Loss & GLP-1 Care

Personalized online medical weight loss with Mallory Jones, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, CWHS — with GLP-1 medication when clinically appropriate.

Weight management is rarely as simple as eating less and moving more. I start with a thorough review of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and any recent laboratory testing to better understand what's actually driving your weight. Treatment plans may include nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and medication — including GLP-1 therapy — when clinically appropriate.

Who medical weight loss may help

Signals it's time to look closer.

You don't need every box checked. If two or three of these sound familiar — or you've been told "your labs look fine" while still feeling off — it's worth a real conversation.

"Every one of these gets asked about on the intake — not skipped because a number came back inside a reference range."

Understanding weight gain & metabolic health

Weight is more complicated than calories.

01

Food noise isn't the same as hunger

Constant intrusive thoughts about food are a real symptom — not a willpower problem

Quieting food noise is often the first thing patients notice on GLP-1s, before any weight change

If food noise is loud, we name it and treat it directly

02

More medication isn't always the answer

The lowest effective dose is the goal — not the maximum tolerated dose

Some patients do beautifully on lower doses long-term; others need stepwise increases

Side effects, muscle loss, and nutrition gaps matter as much as the number on the scale

03

Weight regain isn't a character flaw

Stopping medication often leads to some regain — that's physiology, not a moral failure

The plan includes what happens during, between, and after medication — not just while you're on it

Coming off a GLP-1 is a clinical decision we make together, with a plan to protect what you've built

04

Weight isn't always a food problem

Sleep, stress, insulin resistance, thyroid function, hormones, and certain medications can all drive weight gain or stall progress

Perimenopause and menopause shift body composition in ways that calorie counting alone won't fix

If we don't look at what's actually driving the weight, no plan — medication included — works as well as it should

Weight, metabolism & aging

Why weight gets harder to manage with age.

Metabolism doesn't fall off a cliff at 40, but several things shift at once — muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, sleep quality, and sex hormones. Understanding which of those are at play changes what treatment should look like.

20s–30s

Habits mask physiology

Most people can still out-exercise a difficult schedule. Weight gain here is often tied to sleep debt, shift work, medications, PCOS, or insulin resistance that hasn't been evaluated yet.

35–45

Muscle and insulin sensitivity shift

Muscle mass declines gradually unless it's actively maintained, and insulin sensitivity often drops. The same eating pattern that worked at 28 can produce steady gain at 40.

45–55

Hormonal transition changes where weight goes

In perimenopause and menopause, weight tends to redistribute to the abdomen even when the scale barely moves. In men, gradual testosterone decline can reduce lean mass and energy for training.

55+

Preserving function becomes the priority

The goal shifts from weight alone to protecting muscle, bone, and mobility. Adequate protein, resistance training, and careful dosing matter more than rapid loss.

This is general education, not a diagnosis. What's driving weight is individual, and it's reviewed during your visit.

Transfer GLP-1 care

Already on a GLP-1 medication?

Transfer patients are welcome. Current prescription documentation is required to verify medication, dose, and most recent fill date. Patients who have been off medication for an extended period may need to restart at a lower dose for safety reasons.

Monthly program pricing depends on the medication and dose prescribed and is confirmed before you start. Medication costs are set by the pharmacy and may change based on supply, availability, or formulation changes. Your program fee is fixed for your current tier; if your treatment moves into a different tier, your program price may change. Longer-term enrollment does not mean all medication is dispensed at once; medications are shipped in clinically and pharmaceutically appropriate intervals.

Ask a question
How does online medical weight loss work?

You complete a secure intake, upload any recent laboratory results or records, and meet me for a 1:1 telehealth visit. We review your history, symptoms, and what's already been tried, then build a plan together. If medication is appropriate, the prescription is sent to a partner pharmacy and shipped to you, and we adjust the dose based on how you actually respond.

Can a nurse practitioner prescribe weight loss medication online?

Yes. As a licensed Family Nurse Practitioner, I can evaluate and prescribe GLP-1 medication through telehealth in the states where I'm licensed, when treatment is clinically appropriate for you.

Can I get GLP-1 medication through telehealth?

Yes. If treatment is clinically appropriate for you, I can prescribe GLP-1 therapy through a secure telehealth visit and send the prescription to a partner pharmacy for direct shipment. This is available in the states where I'm licensed to provide telehealth care.

How quickly can I start?

Most patients are seen within a few business days of completing intake. If medication is prescribed, it typically ships from the partner pharmacy within about a week of your visit.

How is the right medication chosen?

There is more than one GLP-1 option, and they differ in how they work, how they're tolerated, and what they cost. Which one is appropriate depends on your medical history, side-effect tolerance, other medications, and access. We decide together during your visit.

Do I have to be on medication to join?

No. Medication is one tool among many. When appropriate, treatment plans may include medication, nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing support.

Do I need labs before getting started?

Not always. Many patients do not need new laboratory testing before starting care. If testing would meaningfully affect treatment decisions, I'll let you know.

How much does the program cost?

Plans start at $169 per month. Your exact monthly fee depends on the medication and dose prescribed and is confirmed before you start. Prepaying 3 or 6 months lowers the effective monthly rate.

What's included in the monthly fee?

Your program fee includes the initial medical weight-loss evaluation, prescribed GLP-1 medication when clinically appropriate, injection supplies, standard pharmacy shipping, follow-up visits, direct messaging about your active treatment plan, ongoing dose adjustments, side-effect management, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and ongoing weight and treatment-response monitoring. Laboratory testing is not routinely required; when clinically indicated, it is billed separately.

Can I add hormone therapy or TRT to my weight-loss program?

Yes, if clinically appropriate. If the second program includes medication — such as HRT Complete or TRT Complete — you pay that program fee; medication and shipping are already built into that price. If you prefer clinical management only with medication sourced through your own pharmacy or insurance, you can add that program at the Essentials rate. Either way, a second program takes $20 per month off when it includes medication, or $10 per month off for an Essentials program.

How often are follow-up visits?

Most patients check in monthly during the first few months while we titrate and track progress, then move to less frequent visits as things stabilize. You can message me directly between visits for questions about your active treatment plan.

What is direct messaging for?

Messaging is included for questions about your active weight-loss plan — dose adjustments, refill requests, side effects, and how you're responding. I typically respond within 48 business hours; weekends and observed holidays do not count. Messaging is not for new medical concerns, urgent symptoms, or prescriptions outside your program. Those require a scheduled visit.

Do you accept insurance?

No. Lighthouse is a cash-pay practice, which keeps pricing transparent and removes prior authorizations and insurance denials. You'll always know your cost upfront.

Do you accept HSA/FSA cards?

Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for program fees and, in most cases, for medication and labs as well. If your plan requires a receipt or letter of medical necessity, just ask.

I'm already on a GLP-1 medication. Can I transfer my care?

Yes. Patients currently using GLP-1 medications must provide documentation showing their name, medication, current dose, and most recent fill date so treatment can be continued safely and appropriately.

Will I stay on my current dose?

Not always. Recommendations depend on treatment history, current dose, response, and how long you've been off medication. For safety reasons, some patients may need a lower dose or a restart of therapy.

What if I've been off my medication?

Patients who have been off medication for an extended period may need to restart at a lower dose for safety reasons.

What if I don't know my current dose?

Many patients aren't sure. A prescription label, pharmacy receipt, medication packaging, or patient portal screenshot showing the medication name and dose is usually sufficient.

Do you bill insurance for weight-loss medication?

No. When medication is part of your plan, it's filled through trusted partner pharmacies — not local retail pharmacies. This means no prior authorizations, no insurance denials, and no months-long fights with your plan. Pricing is transparent and you'll know the cost upfront.

What happens if I plateau?

Plateaus are common and often manageable. Depending on your situation, I may review nutrition, activity, sleep, medication response, and relevant laboratory data before making adjustments.

Do you offer a referral program?

Existing patients receive a $25 account credit when a referred patient completes their first visit. Credits apply to future services and have no cash value.
