ILU Collective Treatments for Weight & Metabolic Health

Understanding Weight & Metabolic Health at ILU Collective

Weight management is influenced by a complex interplay of hormonal balance, metabolic function, appetite regulation, and lifestyle factors. For many patients, diet and exercise modification alone may not produce the results they seek - particularly when hormonal decline, metabolic dysfunction, or physiological factors are contributing.

At ILU Collective in Coral Gables, weight and metabolic health programs are physician-supervised and may integrate GLP-1 protocols, hormone optimization, functional medicine evaluation, and personalized wellness care under the medical direction of Dr. Lourdes Bosch.

How These Treatments May Help

GLP-1 Appetite Regulation

Semaglutide and other GLP-1 receptor agonists may support weight management by influencing appetite regulation and metabolic function. Clinical trials suggest 15-20% body weight reduction in qualifying patients. Individual results vary.

Hormonal Optimization

Hormones including thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol influence metabolism, energy, and body composition. Physician-supervised HRT may address imbalances contributing to weight challenges.

Functional Medicine Evaluation

Comprehensive lab work and clinical assessment may identify underlying contributors to metabolic dysfunction - including nutritional deficiencies, inflammation markers, and hormonal imbalances.

Services That May Support Weight & Metabolic Health

All protocols at ILU Collective in Coral Gables are developed under the medical direction of Dr. Lourdes Bosch.
