Physician-supervised GLP-1 programs — semaglutide, tirzepatide, and personalized weight loss plans — from a board-certified D.O. in Salina, serving Richfield and Sevier County.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) work by mimicking hormones your body already makes — slowing digestion, reducing appetite, and helping your brain register fullness sooner. The result is sustainable weight loss that doesn't require willpower alone.
At Abbott Health & Wellness, we don't hand you a prescription and send you home. We start with your full metabolic picture — labs, hormones, lifestyle — and build a plan that treats the actual reasons weight loss has been difficult. For many patients, that means addressing hormone imbalances or insulin resistance alongside GLP-1 therapy.
We serve patients from Salina, Richfield, Manti, Gunnison, Fillmore, and across Sevier County. You don't have to drive to Salt Lake City for physician-led medical weight loss.
GLP-1 therapy is clinically indicated for adults with a BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related health condition. But the right starting point is a conversation about your full health picture.
Diet and exercise aren't producing results the way they used to — or ever did.
Especially with a related condition like high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, or sleep apnea.
Insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar, or a family history of Type 2 diabetes.
Thyroid issues, low testosterone, or perimenopause can all make weight loss disproportionately hard.
Multiple programs, diets, or medications that worked temporarily but didn't last.
Not a telehealth app — actual physician-supervised care with labs, monitoring, and adjustments.
Every program starts with your labs and full health history — not a quick questionnaire. Here's what to expect from your first call to ongoing care.
Full metabolic panel, hormone assessment, and health history review to understand what's actually driving your weight.
Dr. Abbott builds a plan around your specific labs — which medication, what dose, and what lifestyle changes support it.
Semaglutide or tirzepatide started at a low dose and titrated gradually to minimize side effects and maximize results.
Regular follow-up visits to review progress, adjust dosing, and address anything that comes up along the way.
The number on a bathroom scale doesn't tell you what changed. Every 60 days, we re-scan your body composition on our SECA medical-grade analyzer — so we can see exactly how much of your progress is fat loss versus muscle loss, not just total pounds.
This matters most with GLP-1 therapy. Rapid weight loss can pull from lean muscle as easily as fat if it isn't monitored and supported — so we adjust your protein targets, activity, and dosing based on what the data actually shows, not guesswork.
Medical-grade bioelectrical impedance scale measures fat mass, muscle mass, and body water — not just total weight.
Regular body composition checks alongside your monthly visits, so we catch muscle loss early and adjust your plan.
Protein targets and activity recommendations calibrated to protect lean mass while the fat comes off.
Rescanned every 60 days so your plan is based on real data, not just the number on the scale.
Your provider will recommend the right GLP-1 medication based on your health history, goals, and how your body responds.
Brand names: Wegovy (weight loss), Ozempic (diabetes). The most studied GLP-1 medication, FDA-approved for chronic weight management since 2021.
Brand names: Zepbound (weight loss), Mounjaro (diabetes). Targets two hormone receptors for enhanced results in many patients.
Many patients benefit most from GLP-1 therapy paired with hormone optimization, nutrition guidance, and metabolic support.
Most GLP-1 programs in Utah are either telehealth apps or Salt Lake City clinics. Abbott Health & Wellness offers something different: real physician oversight, in-person care, and a provider who knows your full health picture — right here in Central Utah.
Dr. Justin Abbott, D.O. is board-certified in family medicine and practices functional medicine, which means your weight loss plan accounts for your hormones, metabolism, stress levels, and sleep — not just your BMI.
Serving Salina, Richfield, Manti, Gunnison, and across Sevier County.
A quiet boutique practice where your treatment stays between you and your doctor.
Board-certified D.O. supervises every program — not a PA or telehealth algorithm.

"Semaglutide works, but it's not a shortcut — it's a tool. I pair it with real monitoring and support for the habits that keep results going after someone reaches their goal weight."
