Medical Weight Loss Programs in Studio City, Los Angeles
Losing weight isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a biology problem, and biology responds to the right medicine. TONIIK’s medical weight loss programs pair GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide) with real clinical oversight: baseline labs, body-composition tracking, dose titration and a practitioner who actually answers your questions.
No franchise scripts. No one-size-fits-all dosing. A program built off your labs, adjusted monthly.
Our GLP-1 Programs: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide & Retatrutide
Semaglutide (the Wegovy/Ozempic molecule): the most-studied GLP-1 for weight loss. Weekly injections that reduce appetite and improve metabolic markers. Full details: semaglutide for weight loss.
Tirzepatide (the Mounjaro/Zepbound molecule): a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist. In head-to-head clinical trials, patients lost more weight on tirzepatide than semaglutide, and it is often better tolerated at equivalent results.
Retatrutide (triple agonist) is the next generation: GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon receptor activity, available in supervised microdose protocols for appropriate candidates.
Not sure which? That’s the consult. We look at your history, labs, insurance status and goals, then match the molecule and dose to you, including microdosing protocols for patients who want appetite support without full-dose side effects.
Program options
- Semaglutide monthly program
- Semaglutide microdose protocol
- Tirzepatide microdose protocol
- Retatrutide microdose protocol
- Weight Loss Basic Panel (labs)
- Weight Loss Complete Panel (labs)
Which program fits you, and what it costs, gets settled at your consultation once your labs and goals are in front of us. You get the full plan, month by month, before you commit to anything.
What “medically supervised” actually means here
- Baseline labs first. The Weight Loss Basic Panel or Complete Panel covers thyroid, metabolic markers, A1c and more, so we’re not medicating blind. See all lab panels.
- NP-managed titration. Doses go up only when your body is ready; side effects get managed, not ignored.
- Body composition, not just scale weight. We track muscle preservation, and pair programs with protein targets and, where appropriate, peptide support.
- Plateau tools. If progress stalls: dose strategy, medication switch, Tesofensine for appetite control, metabolic support like NAD+ therapy, or hormone optimization when labs show the real blocker is hormonal.
Beyond the injections
- Localized stubborn fat that survives weight loss: Smart Local Lipo or Kybella for the chin
- Loose skin after major weight loss: Endolift and CO2 resurfacing
- Facial volume loss (“Ozempic face”): Sculptra and Renuva

FAQ
It depends on which medication and dosing protocol you and your practitioner land on, and whether you start with the basic or the complete lab panel. We walk through the options at your consultation and quote the whole program upfront, so you know exactly what you are committing to before month one.
Tirzepatide produced greater average weight loss in clinical trials (up to ~20% of body weight vs ~15% for semaglutide) and some patients tolerate it better. Semaglutide has the longest track record. We recommend based on your labs, history and goals.
Microdosing uses smaller-than-standard doses to get appetite regulation and metabolic benefits with fewer side effects, popular with patients who want to lose 10 to 20 lbs rather than 50+, or who felt awful on full doses elsewhere.
Yes. It’s what separates medical weight loss from an online prescription mill. Baseline labs catch thyroid, blood sugar and hormone issues that change the right treatment plan.
Regain risk is real if medication is the only change. Our titration-down protocols, muscle-preservation focus and metabolic support are designed to help you keep results after the medication phase.
