Medical Weight Loss in Draper, UT

A Different Approach to Medical Weight Loss

Many weight loss programs focus only on medication. At Novu, we take a more complete approach by addressing metabolism and insulin resistance, hormonal changes that contribute to weight gain, nutrition and daily habits, and long-term lifestyle changes. This allows us to create a plan that supports both weight loss and long-term health.

How Semaglutide & Tirzepatide Work

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are part of a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists.

They work by:

Helping regulate appetite

Slowing gastric emptying

Improving insulin response

Supporting more consistent blood sugar levels

Reducing cravings

These effects help reduce hunger and support sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

More Than Medication: Ongoing Support That Matters

One of the biggest differences at Novu is the level of follow-up and support.

Patients are seen every 6 weeks during active weight loss

Progress is reviewed, and adjustments are made

Nutrition, activity, and habits are continuously discussed

Ongoing accountability helps you stay on track

Long-term success doesn’t happen from a prescription alone. It happens with consistent support.

Have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone

Who Is This Treatment For?

You may be a good candidate if you:

How Hormones Can Impact Weight Gain

Weight gain isn’t always just about diet and exercise. For many people, underlying hormonal changes can play a significant role in how the body stores fat, regulates appetite, and uses energy.

When hormones are out of balance, it can lead to:

Increased fat storage, especially around the midsection

Slower metabolism

Increased hunger or cravings

Difficulty losing weight despite consistent effort

Changes in energy levels and motivation

The Role of Hormones and Insulin Resistance

Hormones such as insulin, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all influence metabolism. When these systems are disrupted, it can contribute to:

Insulin resistance

Blood sugar fluctuations

Increased fat storage

Difficulty accessing stored energy

This is why some patients feel like their body is “working against them,” even when they are trying to make healthy changes.

A More Complete Approach to Weight Loss

At Novu Wellness and Aesthetics, we look beyond calories and activity alone. We evaluate:

Hormonal balance

Metabolic health

Lifestyle and stress factors

Patterns that may be contributing to weight gain

This allows us to create a plan that not only supports weight loss but also helps correct the underlying factors that made it difficult in the first place. For some patients, this may include hormone optimization as part of a comprehensive, long-term strategy.

Why Do Weight Loss Medications Alone Don't Work Long-Term?

Medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can be incredibly effective, but they are not a complete solution on their own. Many patients regain weight after stopping treatment because the underlying causes of weight gain were never addressed.

At Novu Wellness and Aesthetics, we focus on helping you understand and correct those factors, including:

Insulin resistance and metabolic health

Hormonal imbalances

Nutrition habits and food patterns

Activity levels and lifestyle factors

A More Sustainable Approach

Our Goal is To Help You:

Lose weight in a healthy, structured way

Build habits that support long-term success

Maintain your results even after treatment changes

This is why we prioritize regular follow-ups, education, and personalized planning, so your results last.

Beyond GLP-1s: A More Comprehensive Peptide Approach

While Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are powerful tools for weight loss, they are not the only option, and in many cases, they work even better as part of a more comprehensive plan.

At Novu Wellness and Aesthetics, we offer additional peptide therapies that may be used alongside GLP-1 medications to support:

Metabolism and energy

Muscle preservation during weight loss

Recovery and overall performance

Long-term weight maintenance

These complementary peptides can help enhance your results and support your body in a more complete way throughout your weight loss journey.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether adding supportive therapies makes sense for your goals.

⭐ 5.0 — Draper's top-rated wellness clinic

What an amazing experience from the moment I walked in the door. I am a new patient and didn’t know what to expect and I was so pleasantly happy. The staff was excellent and friendly and so helpful. The office is so warming and inviting. Then I was able to meet Maggie and she was so attentive to me and my health. Her bedside manner was amazing. I felt important and valued. She wasn’t rushed and really took the time needed to put a plan together a great personalized health plan for me. I am so excited that I found Nuvo Wellness.

Chris Taylor

When my concerns about my hormone levels were not being taken seriously by my doctor, I turned to Maggie at Novu Wellness for a second opinion. She not only took the test results that I had from my doctor, but also ordered additional tests to get a more complete picture of my personal situation. The treatment plan she prescribed has changed my life, and I am very grateful to her and her very competent staff for everything they have done for me. I highly recommend them.

Robert Peterson

Maggie is incredible. She truly listens and never dismisses my concerns. When I told her my hormones felt off, she believed me and took action right away. She didn’t write me off because of my age and truly listened to me. She never rushes appointments and genuinely cares for her patients. She even called me after hours on a Friday night to share results regarding something I was batteling and made sure I could start an antibiotic immediately. That level of care and compassion is so rare—I’m beyond so grateful for her!

Chelsea Monson

Maggie and staff are a dream. She listen, supports, understands, is compassionate, seeks long term health solutions. Appointments are not like a typical physicians- hurried up healthcare. She and her staff go above and beyond. Helpful, every step of way. I can get Botox, wellness and healthcare coaching. Bio hormones and everything else. Plus she has the cutest office in the world. Today I was met with an amazing assortment of fall pumpkins and florals. Samples, drinks, and an upcoming evening social.
