Weight Loss Therapy

Why Weight Loss Needs a Smarter, Holistic Approach

Weight gain is not just about calories in versus calories out. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand weight gain as a complex, multi-system issue. Whether you’re battling hormonal imbalances, sluggish metabolism, stress, or inflammation, our integrative IV weight loss therapy is designed to address the root causes of stubborn fat—so you can finally experience long-term results.

We don’t offer quick fixes. We offer science-backed, physician-led solutions tailored to your body.

What Is IV Weight Loss Therapy?

Weight Loss IV Therapy is a nutrient-based infusion that delivers essential vitamins, amino acids, and metabolic compounds directly into the bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, IV therapy ensures 100% absorption and faster action.
This therapy is part of our comprehensive weight management programs and often used in tandem with:

  • Functional nutrition plans
  • Hormone optimization
  • Detox protocols

Stress and adrenal support

Common Root Causes of Weight Gain

At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostics to determine why your body is holding onto excess weight. Common root causes include:

Key Ingredients in Our Weight Loss IV Therapy

B-Complex Vitamins Enhances energy, supports metabolism
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) Boosts energy and neurological function

Real Case Study: James’s Story

James, 42, had struggled with weight loss for over a decade. Despite exercise and a low-carb diet, his weight plateaued. At his first visit, we found:

  • Elevated cortisol
  • Low testosterone
  • Vitamin B12 and magnesium deficiency
  • Insulin resistance

We created a 12-week plan that included:

  • MIC + B12 IVs (2x per week)
  • Functional nutrition plan
  • Adaptogenic herbs for stress
  • Testosterone support therapy

By week 12, James had lost 28 pounds, normalized his insulin levels, and felt “better than he had in 15 years.”
