Welcome to Malibu Medical Weight Loss & Nutrition.
We provide appetite suppresant drug therapy in conjunction with behavioral modification and nutritional programs. Our goal is to set your mind at ease and provide you with the skills and tools to not only lose weight, but to manage a healthier lifestyle over time.
Appetite Suppressants
Malibu Medical prescribes prescription appetite suppressants that are approved by the FDA for your use.
We generally start clients on a moderate dosage and make adjustments, if needed. If we find that your initial dosage is not effective, we can either adjust your dosage or completely switch you to a new medication until success is achieved!!! Everyone responds differently and the key is to find out what works best for you.
Lab Work
Our lab package is a comprehensive Metabolic panel, which includes the following test:
Thyroid profile - determines metabolic health.
Lipid profile - tests cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Lab work is essential because it helps us determine if you will be a safe candidate for pharmaceutical therapy. Lab work will be repeated after six months as a necessary follow - up procedure. This enables us to monitor your progress and to ensure your safe continuance with pharmaceutical therapy.

Vitamins
We carry Pharmaceutical grade vitamins. When "dieting" it is important to take a daily multivitamin. B12 is great for energy. In some cases the appetite suppresants can cause constipation, we have an aid called Colon Cleanse, just to name a couple. These vitamins are not included in the sixty dollar office visit.
