At Marpeh Urgent Care & Family Health Center in Niles, IL, we recognize that weight management is not just about numbers on a scale — it’s about improving overall health, preventing chronic conditions, and enhancing quality of life. That’s why we offer clinically supervised medical weight loss programs tailored to each patient’s unique biology and lifestyle.
Why Medical Weight Management?
Obesity is a complex condition influenced by genetics, hormones, environment, and behavior.
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than one-third of U.S. adults are obese, increasing their risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
Recent research from the Mayo Clinic shows that people respond differently to weight-loss medications based on their genetic profile.
We offer advanced testing that helps take the guesswork out of weight management.
Personalized Testing for Better Results
One test looks for hidden nutrient and metabolic imbalances that may be slowing your progress.
Another can identify delayed immune reactions to certain foods, helping you know which foods might be causing unwanted symptoms.
Together, these and other personalized assessments allow us to create a more effective, efficient, and tailored weight-management plan designed specifically for your body’s needs.
What We Offer at Marpeh
Our clinic provides a range of FDA-approved treatments and supportive services, including:
- GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) to regulate appetite and improve metabolic function.
- Phentermine therapy for appetite suppression under medical supervision.
- Lifestyle and nutritional counseling to support sustainable habits.
- Specialized metabolic testing.
- Regular follow-ups and monitoring to ensure safety and progress.
These medications have shown not only weight loss benefits, but also improvements in blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, and even kidney protection.
Beyond Medication: Whole-Person Care
We believe in treating the whole person. Our programs integrate:
- Behavioral support to address emotional eating and motivation.
- Nutrition planning tailored to your preferences and health goals.
- Exercise guidance to help you stay active safely.
- Stress and sleep management, which are critical for weight regulation.
Studies from Harvard Health confirm that behavioral interventions — when combined with medical support — lead to meaningful and sustainable weight loss.
