If you’ve seen a traditional, insurance-based provider for your weight concerns, you’ve probably been given “solutions” that haven’t made much of a difference in your life.
Your provider may have assumed you’re skipping workouts. Or maybe they suggested intermittent fasting. We’ve also had patients tell us they have been called lazy and told it’s their own fault for gaining weight.
But the truth is, it’s false weight loss claims from providers who don’t take the time to identify all of the possibilities for why you’re gaining weight. Gimmicks and fad diets in the media also make it harder to achieve your goals.
As one of the leading practices for men’s wellness and aesthetic care in the Lancaster area, the team at Medical Spa NP provides you with clarity to get to the source of your weight concerns. We conduct in-depth lab work examinations and provide you with ongoing support so you can feel like yourself again.

How to Create Your Most Effective Weight Loss Plan
Traditional medical practitioners often say that weight loss starts at the gym or in the kitchen, but we believe a different approach is more effective.
In fact, it’s almost always an underlying health condition that’s causing your weight concerns—and cutting carbs or running on the treadmill aren’t what you really need.
Our experts combine science and years of experience to help you lose weight and keep it off for good. We’ve created the following plan to help you identify the source of your health and weight loss needs.
Step 1: Schedule a Consultation
An appointment with one of our weight loss specialists helps you discover the why behind your weight loss concerns.
During your consultation, our founder Lindsay Eckles Hoffman, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, listens carefully to learn more about your health story. She asks about your weight loss progress thus far, how you want to look when you reach your goal weight, and other important questions to get a better idea of your needs.
She may also ask about your medical history and any medications you take. All of these details help her determine whether further testing is needed.
We encourage you to be transparent throughout your consultation to ensure we create the right plan for you. We’re not cops or judges, and this weight loss process will be much more effective if you can be honest.
Though it may feel stressful or overwhelming to begin your weight loss journey, you can expect guidance—not judgement—from our down-to-earth nurse practitioners.
Step 2: Complete Lab Work
If we suspect that an underlying health condition or hormonal imbalance may be to blame for your weight concerns, we then complete a series of lab tests. These tests analyze 20 different hormones and other health factors.
When we examine your results, we look beyond “normal” readings to learn more about your health story. Insurance-based providers usually don’t make it this far, sending you off with insensitive weight loss “advice.”
At Medical Spa NP, you can trust that we’ll handle your concerns with care and never dismiss them.
Step 3: Personalized Treatment Recommendations
Once we have a better idea of what’s causing your weight gain, we provide personalized treatment recommendations, not one-size-fits-all solutions.
We may recommend injectables for weight loss, which delay gastric emptying and suppress appetite. While on this medication, you feel fuller for longer while consuming fewer calories. This helps you avoid overeating and the need to self-medicate.
You are taught how to administer these injections from the comfort of your own home, so you don’t have to make time each week to come into our office. It is recommended that you administer the injectable on the same day and around the same time per week. We only ask that you attend monthly check-in appointments to monitor your progress.
Another option is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which regulates your hormone levels. Using scientific evidence, our nurse practitioners customize this medication to your specific hormonal needs.
We complete a small in-office procedure to insert HRT pellets into your hip or buttocks. Most patients report noticeable improvements in symptoms 3 to 8 weeks after starting treatment.
