Weight Challenge Diagnosis

I’m Marian, lead medical provider at Btivity, a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with advanced education in Obesity Medicine, and a member of the Obesity Medicine Association.

But first, I’m just like you. I’m a patient with obesity. I know how discouraging it can feel to search for answers and not find the right support. The truth is, it wasn’t until I started treating obesity as a medical condition that everything changed.

That realization inspired me to create Btivity, a personalized medical weight-loss clinic and wellness center in Marietta, Georgia, serving the Atlanta metro area.

At Btivity, we support you with:

Personalized coaching for lasting behavior change

FDA-approved weight-loss medications, including GLP-1s and appetite suppressants, for qualifying patients

Medically supervised weight gain diagnosis, weight management treatment plan, and health monitoring

At Btivity, we believe in holistic wellness, from the inside out, and we’re here to support your journey with care that feels personal, respectful, and grounded in your goals.

“I believe everyone can lose weight when empowered with the right tools and medical supervision.”
~ Marian Opoku-Agyeman MSN, FNP-C

Frequently asked medical weight loss questions

What is a medical weight loss clinic?

A medical weight-loss clinic is a healthcare-based practice that helps people lose weight and manage it safely through personalized, evidence-based care. At Btivity, that includes identifying the cause of weight gain, creating a customized weight management plan, and supporting patients with nutrition guidance, physical activity, behavior-focused care, and weight-loss medication when appropriate. Btivity is based in Marietta, Georgia, and serves the Atlanta metro area.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your free medical weight loss consultation
Your visit may last 45 minutes or longer, depending on your needs.

First, we’ll do a body composition analysis using a bioimpedance machine to determine what may be causing your weight gain:

– Is it because you’ve increased your muscle mass, fat, or is it something else?

Next, one of our medical providers will provide you with a thorough weight-focused medical assessment and give free weight management advice as part of your free, no-obligation consultation!

Btivity membership plan consultation

Here’s what to expect once you sign up for our membership plans:

First, we will discuss your weight management goals; then, we will develop a nutritional program that fits your lifestyle and fat-loss goals.

We’ll determine together how to create an activity plan that fits your current daily routine so you can get the exercise you need.

Prescription anti-obesity medication assessment.

We will prescribe the proper anti-obesity medication for qualified patients. However, some patients may be able to lose weight without medication.

Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?

Some employers provide coverage for some of their upper-tier insurance. You may want to consult your insurance provider to see if you are covered. We take FSA or HSA, as well as CareCredit.

How much weight loss is healthy?

Research shows that about 1-2 pounds a week are healthy, but with proper medical supervision, you can lose more excess fat in a healthy way.

What weight loss programs are the best?

Any personalized weight-loss program is the better option. That’s because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to weight loss.

Also, beware of programs that promise you will lose a certain amount of weight.

Each individual is unique, so your weight-loss program should be what works for you as an individual, not what works for another person.

You also want a program that helps you to understand and control how you gain or lose weight. We see weight loss and management as a lifestyle, not just a diet.

How does weight loss medication work?

There are different weight loss medications, and they work in different ways. Phentermine (Adipex) and other stimulants like it work to mimic the fight or flight state (sympathetic nervous pathway), causing you to be in an appetite-suppressive state, leading to weight loss.

Medications in the GLP-1 family, such as Semaglutide (wegovy) or Liraglutide (Saxenda), helps delays gastric emptying and hence helps one feel full quickly and longer, which means one gets to eat less than usual, leading to weight loss.

Other medications, such as Bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave) and Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia), help with appetite suppression and emotional eating.

Do not take these medications without talking to your healthcare provider because, just like any medication, they might not be suitable for you because of your health history or current health status.

Are weight loss injections safe?

Weight loss injections are safe if you work with a qualified healthcare provider who will thoroughly assess you before prescribing or giving you the injections.

Vitamin injections can support weight loss, but there is little controlled clinical research on them. However, many practitioners have seen results anecdotally.

Therefore, ensure you work with your medical provider to check your vitamin levels to prevent toxicity.

You don’t have to go on your weight loss journey alone.

We’ve got you! Working with a licensed medical weight-loss professional gives you a better chance of meeting your weight-loss goals and staying healthy.
