Fad diets, extreme caloric restriction, and intense exercise programs fail the majority of people who try them — not because of lack of willpower, but because they don't address the underlying metabolic and hormonal factors driving weight gain. At Balanced Wellness Medical Spa in Kingsport TN, our medical weight loss programs treat obesity as the complex medical condition it is.
We offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide — the revolutionary GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist medications that have transformed the weight loss landscape. These FDA-approved medications work by regulating appetite hormones, slowing gastric emptying, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing food cravings at the neurological level.
Every patient receives comprehensive lab testing, a personalized medical evaluation, and an individualized protocol that includes medication management, nutritional guidance, and ongoing support. We serve patients from Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol, Greeneville, and the entire Tri-Cities region of East Tennessee.

Call (423) 765-1393 for current pricing at our Kingsport clinic and to ask about VIP membership discounts.
In clinical trials, patients lost an average of 15% of their body weight with Semaglutide over 68 weeks. Tirzepatide showed even higher results — up to 20% body weight loss over 72 weeks. Individual results vary based on adherence, starting weight, metabolic factors, diet, and activity.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist (Ozempic/Wegovy). Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, showing superior weight loss in head-to-head trials. Our providers will recommend the right medication for your medical history and goals.
Some weight regain can occur after discontinuing GLP-1 medications, especially if eating habits return to pre-treatment patterns. That's why our Kingsport program includes transition planning, ongoing nutrition coaching, and maintenance protocols designed to help you keep your results long-term.
Some insurance plans cover GLP-1 medications for diabetes or obesity, but coverage for cosmetic or general weight management varies widely. We can help you understand your benefits. Our cash-pay programs are transparently priced and include all medical oversight, labs, and follow-up.
Medical weight loss addresses the hormonal and metabolic root causes of weight gain — not just calorie balance. GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide regulate appetite hormones, slow gastric emptying, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce food cravings at the neurological level. Combined with our nutritional coaching, this delivers results that willpower and diet alone often can't.
Most adults with a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) — or a BMI of 30+ (obese), or a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea — are candidates. Pregnancy, personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, and history of pancreatitis require careful evaluation. A free consultation will confirm whether the program is right for you.
