You have tried the diets. The macros, the meal prep, the apps that track every bite. The scale moves five pounds and sits. Or it moves five pounds and then climbs six back the moment life gets busy. The conventional advice to eat less and move more has been your guide for years, and the numbers no longer match the effort. The truth medicine has only recently caught up to is that weight regulation involves hormones, metabolism, and brain chemistry in ways willpower alone cannot override. For many patients, the right tool is a physician-supervised medical weight loss program, not another round of self-blame.
Dr. Kristin Dean, MD, is a board-certified physician with more than fifteen years of medical experience. Dr. Dean’s team at Glomi Wellness Lab delivers comprehensive medical weight loss care to your home, your office, or any private space of your choosing. Every program begins with a full medical evaluation: labs, medical history, current medications, and a careful conversation about your goals, your previous attempts at weight loss, and the realities of your daily life. The medications prescribed are evidence-based GLP-1 receptor agonists, dosed for your body and your medical profile, with ongoing physician oversight throughout the program. Dr. Dean’s background in family medicine shapes the approach: weight is treated as part of your long-term health, a lever for preventing problems like high blood pressure and heart disease, not just a number on a scale. The GLP-1 medications are prescribed and sourced through legitimate, FDA-registered channels, never the gray-market or unverified compounded sources that have flooded the weight-loss space.
Glomi serves San Diego County from Encinitas to La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley, and the broader North County coastal corridor. No clinic visit. No weigh-in in a public exam room. No conversation about your weight where the medical assistant on the other side of the door can hear you.

Why Choose Glomi Wellness Lab for Your Medical Weight Loss Care
Board-Certified Physician Designs and Supervises Your Program
Medical weight loss involves prescription medication, ongoing dose adjustment, lab monitoring, and clinical judgment about how your body is responding. Dr. Kristin Dean, MD, conducts your medical evaluation, writes your prescriptions, adjusts your dose based on your response, and remains your point of contact throughout the program. Not a nurse practitioner working from a protocol. Not a clinic that hands the prescription to a tech and books your next visit. A board-certified physician with more than fifteen years of medical experience accountable for your care.
Evidence-Based Medications, Honest Conversation About What They Do
GLP-1 receptor agonists are real medical innovation. They are also being marketed in ways that obscure who they help, how much weight loss is realistic, and what trade-offs come with the treatment. Dr. Dean tells you what these medications do and what they do not do, what the side effect profile looks like for your medical history, and what the realistic outcome range is based on the clinical evidence. You decide whether to begin the program with a full picture.
Whole-Patient Approach, Not Just a Prescription
Sustained weight change is rarely about the medication alone. Diet, sleep, stress, hormonal health, and movement all matter. Dr. Dean’s medical weight loss program integrates nutritional guidance, metabolic markers, and conversations about the patient-side practices that determine whether the medication’s effect holds after the active phase. The plan addresses the whole patient, not just the prescription pad.
Discretion Around a Personal Topic
Weight is among the most personal medical topics a patient discusses. The concierge model means your evaluation, your weigh-ins, and your follow-ups all happen in a setting you control. No clinic waiting room. No casual chat with the receptionist about your last appointment. No medical record system shared with a primary care clinic where you would rather this conversation not be visible.
Why Choose Concierge Medical Weight Loss Treatment
Privacy When the Subject Is Your Body
Concierge delivery means body composition assessment, weight tracking, and program follow-ups happen in your own home or office. No standing on a scale in a hallway. No conversation about your goals where the patient in the next room can overhear. The level of privacy concierge provides is a meaningful difference for many patients, especially executives, public-facing professionals, and patients who value keeping medical decisions out of any clinic record that mingles with their primary care.
Follow-Up Cadence That Actually Fits Your Calendar
Medical weight loss is a multi-month commitment with regular check-ins for dose titration, side effect review, and progress assessment. Concierge delivery removes the friction of scheduling, driving, parking, and waiting that traditional clinic visits add. Your follow-ups happen in a thirty-minute window in your space, not a three-hour block of your day in a clinic.
Honest, Patient-First Recommendations
Medical weight loss should be recommended when it is the right tool for the patient. Concierge delivery removes the operational pressure of filling clinic appointment slots and meeting weekly prescription targets. Dr. Dean’s recommendation is based on whether the medications and the program are right for you, including the recommendation not to begin the program if it is not the right tool for your situation.
Integration With Your Other Care
Many medical weight loss patients have a primary care physician, an endocrinologist, a cardiologist, or other specialists involved in their care. Dr. Dean coordinates with your existing providers when shared decisions matter: medications that interact, conditions affected by weight change, lab values that other physicians follow. Concierge delivery does not mean siloed care; it means coordinated care delivered without the inconvenience of a clinic visit.
What Medical Weight Loss Actually Involves
How GLP-1 Medications Work
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of prescription medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes. They work by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that the gut releases after a meal. The medication slows gastric emptying, lengthens the sensation of fullness after eating, reduces appetite signals from the brain, and supports more stable blood sugar between meals. For many patients, the result is a substantial reduction in the constant background hunger that has driven previous weight gain. The medication is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, typically self-administered after Dr. Dean trains you on the technique during your initial visit.
What Distinguishes a Physician-Supervised Program From Online Prescription Mills
The recent surge of online platforms that ship GLP-1 medications after a brief intake form lacks the medical oversight that makes the treatment safe and effective. A physician-supervised program means a real medical evaluation, real lab work, real dose adjustment based on your response, and real accountability for side effects, drug interactions, and the medical conditions a thorough evaluation surfaces. The medications are powerful tools; they belong with a physician guiding them, not behind a checkout cart.
When Medical Weight Loss Is a Good Fit
You may be a good candidate for a medical weight loss program with Glomi if any of the following describes you:
- You have tried sustained diet and exercise approaches and have been unable to reach or maintain the weight that supports your health goals
- Your weight is meaningfully affecting your health markers, including blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, joint pain, sleep quality, or energy
- You want a physician-supervised program rather than an online prescription mill
- You are prepared for a six- to twelve-month commitment with regular check-ins, not a quick fix
- You value discretion around the topic and prefer your medical weight loss care delivered in private rather than at a clinic
- You want a provider who coordinates with your existing primary care or specialists rather than working in isolation
Medical weight loss is not appropriate for every patient. Certain medical conditions, prior history with this class of medications, pregnancy or planning to become pregnant, and specific contraindications need to be reviewed before any medication is prescribed. Dr. Dean conducts a full medical evaluation and tells you honestly whether the program is appropriate for your situation. Some patients will be better served by referral to another type of program or specialist; when that is the case, Dr. Dean will say so directly.
Your Concierge Medical Weight Loss Program, From Consultation to Maintenance
1. Initial Evaluation (60 to 90 minutes)
Dr. Dean arrives at your chosen location and conducts a comprehensive medical evaluation: full medical history, current medications, prior weight loss attempts and their outcomes, family history of metabolic disease, current diet and movement patterns, and your goals. Baseline labs are drawn during the visit and processed through Glomi’s reference laboratory. Body composition baseline is established. You and Dr. Dean discuss whether medical weight loss is the right next step, the realistic outcome range based on the clinical evidence, the side effect profile relevant to your medical history, and the structure of the program.
2. Treatment Phase (six to twelve months)
Once you decide to proceed, your first prescription is delivered, and Dr. Dean trains you on self-administration of the once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The dose starts low and titrates up over the first six to eight weeks. Follow-ups happen every two to four weeks during titration, then transition to monthly check-ins once you reach your effective dose. Each follow-up reviews side effects, dose response, body composition change, metabolic markers, and patient-side practices.
3. Maintenance Phase
After the active treatment phase, most patients move into a maintenance phase. Some continue on a reduced dose; some transition off the medication with continued support for the patient-side practices that hold the change. Maintenance follow-ups happen quarterly or semi-annually depending on what the program needs. The goal is sustainable change, not a temporary reduction that rebounds the moment the program ends.
Common Questions About Concierge Medical Weight Loss
Which medication will I be prescribed?
Dr. Dean prescribes within the class of GLP-1 receptor agonists used in medical weight loss programs. The specific medication chosen depends on your medical history, your insurance coverage, your goals, and the medication’s side effect profile relative to your situation. The decision is made during your initial evaluation after the full medical review.
What kind of weight loss should I expect?
Clinical evidence for GLP-1 medications in weight loss programs shows a wide range of outcomes that depend on the medication, the dose, the duration, and the patient-side practices supporting the program. Dr. Dean discusses the realistic outcome range relevant to your situation during your initial evaluation; this is not a treatment where one number applies to every patient.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are gastrointestinal: nausea, especially in the first weeks of treatment and during dose titration, with reduced appetite, constipation, or diarrhea in some patients. Most side effects ease as the body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects exist and are discussed during your initial evaluation. The titration schedule, dose adjustments, and ongoing monitoring are designed specifically to manage side effects throughout the program.
Do I have to inject myself?
Yes. GLP-1 medications in this class are administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection that patients self-administer after training. Dr. Dean walks you through the technique during your initial evaluation; most patients find the process straightforward after the first one or two doses. The needle is small and the injection is shallow.
Will my insurance cover the medication?
Insurance coverage for GLP-1 medications in weight loss programs varies by carrier, by the specific medication prescribed, by the on-label indication that applies to your situation, and by the prior authorization process. Glomi can assist with the documentation insurance commonly requires; you will know the coverage picture for your situation before the prescription is filled.
What happens after I reach my goal weight?
Reaching the goal is the start of the maintenance phase, not the end of care. Some patients continue on a reduced maintenance dose; some transition off the medication entirely with continued support for the patient-side practices. Long-term success rates for weight loss have improved substantially when the maintenance phase is intentionally supported, rather than the patient being left to navigate the post-treatment period alone.
How do I schedule the initial evaluation?
Call Glomi Wellness Lab at (442) 222-8485 or email scheduling@glomiwellnesslab.com. Your initial evaluation is a 60- to 90-minute medical visit in your home or office. No obligation to begin the program at the same visit. Dr. Dean wants you to make the decision after the full picture is in front of you.
