Medical Weight Loss in Fargo, ND: Physician-Supervised, Evidence-Based Weight Management

Medical weight loss overview at Resurgent Health Fargo

A Physician-Led Approach to Sustainable Weight Loss

Guided by evaluation, lab work, and ongoing follow-up

Real medical weight loss is more than a monthly dose. At Resurgent Health, our physician-supervised program starts with a full evaluation by Aly Dahl, PA-C, whose clinical passion is obesity medicine, and Dr. Kristine Martens, DO. We review your health history, screen for thyroid and metabolic issues, order baseline lab work, and set realistic expectations before starting any medication.

Most patients ask about medical weight loss in Fargo, ND: physician-prescribed GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. We use only FDA-approved formulations. We do not prescribe compounded gray-market products. Program participants can also access lab work at wholesale pricing and therapeutic injections for members.

Am I a candidate for medical weight loss?

Eligibility depends on FDA-approved criteria (BMI 30 or higher, or BMI 27+ with a weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnea) and a full medical evaluation. Some conditions, such as personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2, are contraindications.

Which medications do you prescribe?

We prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications: Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), and off-label Ozempic and Mounjaro when clinically appropriate. We do not prescribe compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide.

How much does the program cost?

Program visits are covered under DPC membership for members. Non-members pay a consultation fee. Medication cost varies with insurance coverage and pharmacy. We help you compare cash-pay and insurance pricing before starting.

How much weight will I lose?

Clinical trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide show average weight loss of 15 to 22% of body weight over 68 to 72 weeks. Results vary by starting weight, medication, dose, adherence, and lifestyle changes. Medication supports (not replaces) nutrition and activity changes.

What side effects should I know about?

The most common side effects are nausea, constipation, fatigue and reflux, usually mild and easing over time. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease and thyroid tumors. We review your medical history at every visit and adjust the dose if needed.

How long do I need to stay on the medication?

GLP-1 medications work while you take them. Many patients continue at a maintenance dose long-term. Stopping usually leads to some regain. We plan the long-term strategy with you at the start of the program.
