Meridian Weight Loss Therapy

Feeling Like Yourself Again Is Possible

If you’ve tried diet after diet and the weight keeps coming back, you’re not failing at willpower. There is very likely a metabolic and hormonal piece of the puzzle that hasn’t been addressed yet. At Alturas Medical Weight Loss, that’s exactly where we start.

A Physician-Supervised Program Built for the Treasure Valley

We are a Meridian-based medical weight loss clinic serving patients throughout the Treasure Valley. Every plan we build starts with a physician-supervised evaluation, not a questionnaire. We look at your labs, your medical history, and your goals before we ever talk about medication.

Weight loss therapy at Alturas Medical Weight Loss isn’t one thing. It’s a combination of tools we tailor to you, which may include GLP-1 medications, hormone therapy, nutrition guidance, and ongoing physician follow-up.

Our Core Weight Loss Programs

For many of our patients, the most effective tool is a GLP-1 medication. We offer compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, prescribed and monitored by our clinical team. These medications work by helping regulate appetite and blood sugar response, which can make sustainable weight loss far more achievable than diet alone.

We do not prescribe or sell brand-name products. Our medications are compounded formulations of the same active ingredients, dosed and adjusted under physician supervision.

Hormone Therapy

Weight gain, especially around midlife, is often tied to hormonal shifts that diet and exercise alone can’t fix. Our hormone therapy services, including testosterone replacement and hormone pellet therapy, are frequently combined with our weight loss programs for patients who are dealing with both.

Online Weight Loss Clinic

For patients who want the flexibility of telehealth, our online weight loss clinic gives you access to the same physician-supervised care without needing to come into the office for every visit.

Who This Is For

Our weight loss patients range from women navigating perimenopause weight gain to men who’ve noticed their metabolism just isn’t what it used to be. What they share is frustration with generic advice and a desire for a plan that’s actually built around their body chemistry.

FAQs About Weight Loss Therapy

Here are answers to the top questions about Weight Loss Therapy, addressing its uses, mechanism, side effects, and availability:

How is Alturas different from online weight loss subscriptions?

We are a physician-supervised clinic, not a subscription service. Your plan is built from a real medical evaluation, and our clinical team monitors your progress and adjusts your treatment as needed.

We prescribe compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, which contain the same active ingredients used in many GLP-1 medications. These are not brand-name products.

Not necessarily. Some patients only need a GLP-1 medication. Others have an underlying hormonal component that benefits from combined treatment. We’ll determine that together based on your labs.

Our programs are physician-supervised from start to finish. As with any medical treatment, results and suitability vary by individual, so we always recommend you consult your healthcare provider as part of the decision.

Yes. Our online weight loss clinic allows many patients to complete consultations and follow-ups remotely.

Most patients can complete an initial consultation within few days of reaching out. From there, your plan timeline depends on your lab results and goals.


Individual results vary based on health history, adherence to the treatment plan, and other factors. Nothing on this page should be taken as a guarantee of outcome. Please consult your healthcare provider to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
