Medical Weight Loss in Baltimore: What You Need to Know

Why Medical Weight Loss—Not Fad Diets

If you’ve tried “eat less, move more” and still feel stuck, medical weight loss adds clinical tools + coaching to help your body work with you. At The Unlimited Clinic Beauty & Wellness in Baltimore, we combine GLP-1 medications, vitamin B12, B12 with lipotropic nutrients, and lifestyle guidance to support steady, sustainable results.

GLP-1s 101: What They Are & How They Help

GLP-1 medications (and the newer dual GIP/GLP-1s) are doctor-prescribed injectables used to support weight management. They work by:

• Reducing appetite and cravings

• Helping you feel fuller sooner (slower gastric emptying)

• Supporting healthy blood sugar patterns, which can curb “roller-coaster hunger”

Benefits our clients love

• Easier portion control without white-knuckling every meal

• Fewer late-night cravings

• Space to build habits that actually stick

What to expect

• Dosing starts low and increases gradually to improve tolerance

• Weekly injections (most plans) with check-ins to adjust your dose and plan

• Common, usually temporary side effects: nausea, constipation/diarrhea, heartburn. We counsel on hydration, protein, fiber, and meal timing to help.

Safety firstGLP-1s aren’t for everyone. They’re generally avoided if you have a personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2, active/past pancreatitis, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or have certain gallbladder issues. We screen carefully and coordinate with your other providers.

B12 & B12 + Lipotropics: The Support Squad

Vitamin B12 injections

B12 supports energy production, red blood cell formation, and nerve health. If you’re low or borderline (common with certain diets or meds), B12 can help:

• Improve energy and motivation for workouts and meal prep

• Support mood and focus, making habit change easier

• Complement GLP-1 programs (especially if appetite is lower and you’re eating less)

B12 isn’t a “fat-melting shot.” It supports the process by helping you feel good enough to stay consistent.

B12 + lipotropics (MIC)

“Lipotropics” typically combine Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC) with B12. These nutrients are involved in fat metabolism and liver function. While research for direct fat loss is mixed, many clients find they:

• Feel steadier energy and less sluggishness

• Stay more consistent with movement and nutrition

• Pair well with GLP-1s in a comprehensive plan

How We Build Your Plan at The Unlimited Clinic

1. Clinical consult & labs (as needed): medical history, medications, weight-loss goals, baseline measurements.

2. Program match: GLP-1 eligibility, B12 or B12+MIC plan, plus clear expectations.

3. Nutrition & habit coaching: protein targets, fiber, hydration, movement plan you’ll actually do.

4. Weekly or bi-weekly touchpoints: side-effect support, dose adjustments, accountability.

5. Maintenance strategy: keep the wins—learn how to stabilize and gradually transition doses if appropriate.

Typical timeline (varies by individual)

• Weeks 1–4: Appetite settles; practice plate balance and hydration.

• Weeks 5–12: Consistent habit groove; steady losses feel more predictable.

• Months 3–6+: We refine your plan, address plateaus, and build your maintenance roadmap.

IV Hydration: The Overlooked Edge

Adequate hydration supports appetite regulation, digestion, and recovery—key when starting GLP-1s. Our IV hydration options can replenish fluids and electrolytes when you need a quick reset (e.g., travel, heavy training weeks, or nausea management), and may help you feel your best while your routine shifts.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

You may be a fit if you:

• Want structured, medical guidance beyond DIY diets

• Are open to weekly injections and short, supportive check-ins

• Are committed to simple habit changes and follow-up

• Meet clinical criteria for GLP-1s—or prefer a non-Rx path with B12/B12+MIC plus coaching

Not sure? That’s what the consult is for. We’ll help you choose a plan that matches your health profile and goals.

Practical Tips to Maximize Results

• Anchor your plate around protein (20–35g/meal) + fiber-rich plants

• Sip steadily: aim for consistent fluids throughout the day

• Move most days: walks, light strength training, or low-impact cardio

• Plan tiny, repeatable habits: 1 change per week beats all-or-nothing

• Use check-ins to troubleshoot side effects and plateaus early

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will I lose weight?Everyone is different. We focus on steady, sustainable progress rather than rapid loss, then teach you how to maintain it.

Will B12 or B12+MIC make me lose weight by themselves?They’re supportive tools—great for energy and consistency. Real change comes from nutrition, movement, sleep, stress care, and—when appropriate—GLP-1s.

Do I need labs?Sometimes. We’ll discuss labs based on your history, medications, and symptoms (especially for B12 status and metabolic markers).

Are the injections painful?Most clients describe them as quick and mild. We’ll teach you technique and aftercare.

Can I stop GLP-1s once I reach my goal?We plan for maintenance early, including options to reduce dose and rely more on your routine. The goal is long-term stability, not yo-yoing.

Can I use HSA/FSA? Not Currently, but we are working on accepting this as a payment form.

Do I offer payment plans? Some services are payable using affirm through the vagaro app.
