Weight Optimization Program

Medical weight loss
in Mississippi. With a clinician who knows your name.

You’ll talk to Kris or Dr. Lula

Your first conversation is with Kris or Dr. Lula, by telehealth from anywhere in Mississippi. They go through your history, your labs and what you've already tried, tell you honestly whether a GLP-1 is right for you, and check in every month as your plan changes.

Free consultation. Compounded semaglutide programs from $125/mo, medication and monthly check-ins included.

The lifestyle support

  • Weekly personalized nutrition guidance
  • Movement plan calibrated to your goals
  • Behavior-change coaching, not crash dieting

“Programs from $125 / month — one transparent price for medication, clinician care, and lifestyle support. No insurance required, no hidden fees.”

Three medications. One personalized program.

Kris, Marina or Dr. Lula look at your labs, your history and what you’ve tried, then talk through which option fits. Sometimes the answer is none of them.

Semaglutide weight-loss program

Semaglutide

Once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces hunger signals, slows gastric emptying, and improves blood sugar control. A once-weekly GLP-1 program our clinicians titrate to you. Patients typically see steady, sustained changes.

$125/mo3-month starter program

Best for: Most patients with BMI 27+ or weight-related health conditions

Learn more

What it is

A compounded GLP-1 receptor agonist delivered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Acts on the appetite and gastric-emptying pathways to support a calorie deficit.

Timeline

Most patients notice appetite changes within the first 1–2 weeks. Dose is titrated up over the first 12 weeks to find the lowest effective level for you.

Monitoring

Initial labs reviewed by your clinician, monthly check-ins, and quarterly bloodwork. Dose is adjusted based on tolerance, labs, and how you feel.

Safety: Medically supervised with gradual titration. Mild nausea is the most common side effect, especially during the first 1–2 weeks, and typically resolves as your body adjusts.

Tirzepatide weight-loss program

Tirzepatide

A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Acts on two complementary pathways for appetite regulation and metabolic control. Kris or Dr. Lula may suggest it if semaglutide hasn’t been enough.

$265/mo3-month starter program

Best for: Patients seeking a dual-mechanism (GIP + GLP-1) program

Learn more

What it is

A compounded once-weekly injection that activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. The dual mechanism targets appetite, satiety, and metabolic regulation simultaneously.

Timeline

Appetite changes typically begin within the first 1–2 weeks. Dose is titrated up over the first 16–20 weeks to balance efficacy and tolerability.

Monitoring

Initial labs reviewed by your clinician, monthly check-ins, and quarterly bloodwork. Your clinician adjusts the dose based on response and side-effect profile.

Safety: Medically supervised with gradual titration. Mild nausea is the most common side effect, especially during dose increases, and typically improves as your body adapts.

Lipo B/C weight-loss program

Lipo B/C

A blend of methionine, inositol, choline, B12 and amino acids. Supports liver fat metabolism, energy levels and methylation. Used alongside a GLP-1 program or as a stand-alone metabolic boost.

$25/shotweekly or biweekly injection

Best for: Patients on a GLP-1 program needing energy support, or those wanting metabolic support solo

Learn more

What it is

A lipotropic blend of methionine, inositol, choline, B12 and amino acids. These nutrients support how the liver processes fat and how the body produces energy.

Timeline

Used as a weekly or biweekly injection. Many patients report a noticeable energy lift within the first few weeks. Best results come from consistent use alongside a structured program.

Monitoring

Reviewed at your regular clinician check-ins. Often layered onto an existing GLP-1 protocol, but can be used on its own as part of a broader wellness plan.

Safety: Medically supervised. Generally well-tolerated. Lipo B/C is an adjunct that supports energy and metabolism. It is not a stand-alone weight-loss medication and works best as part of a structured program.

Start in under 20 minutes.

  1. Kris Cutaj, PA-C, in NuHealth scrubs at the Royal Oak clinic

    Free consultation

    A free 20-minute video call with Kris, Marina or Dr. Lula. You go through your medical history, current medications and goals. No credit card required.

  2. Baseline lab panel requisition and blood collection tubes for pre-treatment bloodwork

    Labs, read by your clinician

    Initial bloodwork is ordered and read by your clinician before any prescription. Your clinician sets your baseline and confirms the safe path forward.

Your prescription, written by Kris or Dr. Lula

Kris or Dr. Lula writes and signs your prescription and sends it to a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy. It ships within 2–5 business days in discreet packaging.

Monthly check-ins with the same clinician

Monthly check-ins, dose titration, weekly nutrition + movement guidance, and 24/7 portal access. The plan changes as you do.

A patient, in her words

“Kris listened to my goals, concerns and met with me on a regular basis to ensure that I was following the treatment plan we came up with together.”

“He was quick to respond if I had a question and gave excellent advice and feedback about how to make a life long change…”

“I’m so grateful I took a chance and put my trust in Kris and stuck with it.”

How we screen

Before anything is prescribed, a clinician reviews you. Sometimes the answer is no.

GLP-1 medication is not right for everyone. Every patient goes through the same medical review before a first dose, whether you start online or in our Royal Oak clinic.

When we say no

If GLP-1 medication isn’t safe or right for you, your clinician will tell you, explain why, and point you to the right next step, which is sometimes clearance from your own doctor first.

  1. Your history and current medications

    Kris, Marina or Dr. Lula reviews your health history and every medication you take, checking for conditions and interactions that change the plan.

  2. Family history, asked directly

    They ask specifically about medullary thyroid cancer, MEN 2, pancreatitis and pregnancy plans. Some of these rule GLP-1 medication out; others need a closer look first.

  3. Baseline labs before the first dose

    Your provider orders and reviews a metabolic panel so the plan starts from your own numbers.

  4. Specialist clearance when something needs it

    If your history or labs raise a question, we ask for clearance from your endocrinologist or other physician before prescribing.

NuHealth prescribes per-patient compounded formulations of semaglutide and tirzepatide, prepared by a state-licensed 503A pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Individual results vary and depend on adherence, biology, and medical supervision.

Do you qualify?

Most adults with one of these are candidates.

  • BMI of 30 or higher — clinically classified as obesity.
  • BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition (e.g. type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, PCOS).
  • Diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes haven’t produced lasting results on their own.

Your clinician makes the final call after a 20-minute video consultation and a review of your medical history.

Common questions. Clear answers.

Three topics, in plain language. If you don’t see your question, the consultation is the place to ask it.

How the program works

Who will I actually talk to?

Kris Cutaj, MSPAS, PA-C, FAACM, Marina Matta, PA-C, or Dr. Erald Lula, MD, MPH, our Medical Director. Kris and Dr. Lula write and sign prescriptions and are licensed in Michigan, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. You see the same clinician at your monthly check-ins whenever scheduling allows.

“Kris listened to my goals, concerns and met with me on a regular basis to ensure that I was following the treatment plan we came up with together.”
Mandy M. · Google review
How does Semaglutide work for weight loss?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces hunger signals in your brain, slows stomach emptying so you feel full longer, and improves blood sugar control. NuHealth prescribes a personalized compounded formulation prepared per-patient by a state-licensed 503A pharmacy; compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products.

Am I a candidate for GLP-1 treatment?

Most adults qualify. You're a good candidate if your BMI is 27+ with weight-related health conditions, or 30+, or if traditional dieting hasn't worked for you long-term. The free consultation includes a 20-minute screening of your medical history.

“Dr. Lula has been so kind and approachable. I never felt judged.”
Taylor Stanley · Google review
How quickly will I see results?

Most patients notice appetite changes within the first 1–2 weeks. Measurable weight changes typically appear in weeks 2–3. Full responses take 6+ months and depend on dose titration and lifestyle support.

Pricing & insurance

How much does GLP-1 weight loss cost at NuHealth?

Compounded Semaglutide is $125/mo and Compounded Tirzepatide is $265/mo, each as a 3-month starter program. The initial provider consultation is free.

“Nuhealth works great if you can’t afford a 3 month supply at a time…”
Mandy M. · Google review
How fast does the medication arrive?

Once Kris or Dr. Lula writes your prescription, it ships within 2-5 business days in discreet packaging.

What’s included in the monthly plan?

Your plan includes the medication, your clinician ordering and reviewing your initial blood work, monthly check-ins, weekly nutrition and movement guidance, injectable supplies, and 24/7 portal access. Lab fees are billed separately by the lab.

Does insurance cover GLP-1 weight loss?

Coverage has tightened. Many insurers have restricted GLP-1 coverage for weight loss in 2025–2026. Our compounded Semaglutide program is $125/month, which makes treatment accessible without insurance coverage.

Safety & monitoring

What are the common side effects?

Nausea is the side effect patients report most often, usually in the first 1 to 2 weeks as the dose is introduced. Your clinician starts low, increases gradually, and can slow the schedule if symptoms persist. Side effects are reviewed at every monthly check-in, and you can message your clinician between visits.

“They explained how semaglutide works, what side effects to watch for, and how to adjust dosage over time.”
Erisa Galgoci · Google review
Is the medication FDA-approved?

NuHealth prescribes compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide formulations prepared by a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy under a personalized prescription written and signed by Kris or Dr. Lula. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; they are prepared on a per-patient basis and are not interchangeable with any specific brand-name product.

The next step

A 20-minute call. With Kris, Marina or Dr. Lula.
