Medical Weight Loss
Transform your body & metabolism with our GLP-1 Optimization Protocol.
The Science of
GLP-1 receptor agonists represent the most significant breakthrough in medical weight loss in decades. These medications work by mimicking incretin hormones that your body naturally produces, targeting the brain's appetite centers and optimizing how your body processes food and stores energy.
At Zen Regenerative Wellness, we combine these cutting-edge pharmaceuticals with comprehensive metabolic monitoring to achieve transformative, sustainable results. Unlike telehealth weight loss clinics, every patient's protocol is designed and supervised by Dr. Kris Shewmake.
Board-certified oversight
Comprehensive bloodwork
Custom dosing protocols
Peptides + IV + GLP-1
Our
Physician-selected medications tailored to your metabolic profile, from proven single-agonists to the revolutionary triple-action therapies
Semaglutide
Ozempic / Wegovy
The gold standard in medical weight loss. Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite, slows gastric emptying, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Clinical trials demonstrate an average of 15-17% total body weight loss.
Key Benefits
- Weekly subcutaneous injection
- FDA-approved for weight management
- 15-17% average weight loss in trials
- Improves cardiovascular risk markers
Tirzepatide
Mounjaro / Zepbound
The next evolution in metabolic medicine. Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors simultaneously, creating a more powerful metabolic response than single-agonist therapies. Patients in the SURMOUNT trial achieved up to 22.5% body weight reduction.
Key Benefits
- Weekly subcutaneous injection
- Dual-action: GIP + GLP-1 receptor activation
- Up to 22.5% weight loss in trials
- Superior HbA1c reduction vs. semaglutide

Physician-Designed Protocol
Dr. Shewmake selects the optimal GLP-1 agonist and dosing strategy based on your unique metabolic profile, medical history, and goals.
Weekly Guided Treatment
Subcutaneous injections administered on a precise escalation schedule, with ongoing monitoring of vitals, labs, and metabolic markers.
Sustained Results & Optimization

Real patients who transformed their metabolic health with physician-supervised GLP-1 protocols at Zen.
David W.
Male, 48 | Business Owner
Gained 45 lbs over 5 years despite consistent gym attendance. Prediabetic A1C of 5.9. Previous diet attempts failed to produce lasting results. Frustrated and concerned about long-term health.
Lost 38 lbs in 5 months on physician-supervised tirzepatide. A1C normalized to 5.1. Fasting insulin dropped from 22 to 6. Body composition shifted dramatically — lost visceral fat while preserving lean muscle with concurrent resistance training guidance.
"I've tried everything — keto, intermittent fasting, personal trainers. Nothing stuck. Within 3 weeks on tirzepatide, my relationship with food completely changed. I wasn't fighting cravings anymore. The weight just came off. Dr. Shewmake's monitoring gave me confidence the whole way."

38 lbs lost in 5 months
Lauren R.
Female, 39 | Nurse
Postpartum weight that wouldn't budge — 30 lbs above pre-pregnancy weight 2 years after delivery. Exhausted from night shifts. Emotional eating patterns. Felt "stuck" and defeated.
Lost 28 lbs over 4 months. More importantly, her energy returned, her mood stabilized (partially due to concurrent hormone optimization showing low progesterone), and she described feeling "like herself again" for the first time since pregnancy.
"I was so skeptical. I thought GLP-1 meds were just a fad. But Dr. Shewmake found that my hormones were tanked on top of the weight issue. Treating both together changed everything. I feel like the person I was before kids — but stronger."
