Non-Surgical Weight Loss
Legacy Weight & Diabetes Institute
Non-surgical weight loss
Losing weight can be challenging, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you're interested in medications such as GLP-1s, nutrition counseling, lifestyle changes or a combination of approaches, Legacy offers non-surgical weight loss options designed to fit your lifestyle and help you reach your goals.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, prevent type 2 diabetes or improve your overall health, we'll help you build a personalized plan for lasting results.
Weight management
Our expert team of physical therapists, behavioral health specialists, dietitians and medical providers work together to create the right weight management program to meet every patient’s unique needs.
From individual support to complete programs, our team crafts the right options so patients can reach their individual weight goals, as well as achieve lasting health. This means patients can customize the right approach: one-on-one appointments, for example; group programs or a combination. Whether you have a little or a lot to lose, our team of physical therapists, psychologists and dietitians tailor programs to achieve long-term weight management.
GLP-1 medications
Legacy offers GLP-1 medications as part of our medical weight management program. GLP-1 medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone released when you eat, helping regulate blood sugar, slow stomach emptying and reduce appetite. Some well-known GLP-1 medications include Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound.
Many GLP-1 medications also help manage blood sugar and diabetes. Some have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious cardiovascular events.
Nutrition services
Our nutrition services staff works with patients and doctors to provide nutritional therapy for children, adolescents and adults.
The staff focuses on weight-loss strategies that benefit patients in the long term — we’re not focused on short-term fad diets. These strategies also help patients make smart food choices that support weight-loss goals and overall health.
Our services include:
- Individual assessment
- Coaching and support

Diabetes Prevention Program
Legacy Health’s Diabetes Prevention Program can help patients make long-term lifestyle changes to lower the risk of diabetes. Our lifestyle coaches provide a full year of support to help patients feel better and motivated. It’s comforting to remember: A family history of diabetes or a prediabetes diagnosis does not guarantee someone will develop diabetes. With support from the right coach and group, everyone can learn to reduce their risk.
