A Holistic Approach to Lasting Results in Tigard, OR & Vancouver, WA
If you’re considering medical weight loss with medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, you’re taking an important step toward improving your health. These medications are powerful tools—but they work best as part of a complete plan.
At Amélie Med Spa, we believe sustainable weight loss goes far beyond medication alone. Our medical weight loss programs in Tigard, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington are designed to support your whole body, lifestyle, and long-term success.

Why Medication Alone Isn’t Enough
GLP-1 medications help reduce hunger, curb cravings, and support metabolic health. While this makes healthier choices easier, lasting weight loss requires addressing the full picture—nutrition, movement, hydration, sleep, stress, and ongoing support.
The Essential Components of Medical Weight Loss Success
Nutrition: Fuel Your Body for Results
Weight loss medications work with your eating habits—not instead of them. Prioritizing protein-rich foods, vegetables, and whole grains helps preserve muscle mass, stabilize energy, and support fat loss.
Small, consistent improvements matter far more than perfection. Our providers guide patients through realistic nutrition strategies that fit everyday life.
Helpful Nutrition Resources:
- MyFitnessPal – Track meals and macros using the largest food database available
- Cronometer – Detailed nutrient tracking, especially helpful for monitoring protein intake
- USDA MyPlate – Simple visual guides and meal planning tips

Movement: Protect Muscle, Boost Metabolism
Regular physical activity helps preserve lean muscle while losing weight and improves overall wellbeing. Even 20–30 minutes of walking most days can significantly enhance results.
Movement doesn’t need to be extreme—it just needs to be consistent.
Helpful Movement Resources:
- Nike Training Club – Free workouts from beginner to advanced
- Couch to 5K – A gradual, beginner-friendly running program
- FitOn – Free classes including yoga, strength training, and cardio
Hydration: Support Metabolism & Reduce Side Effects
Adequate hydration supports digestion, metabolism, and energy levels while helping manage common GLP-1 side effects such as nausea or constipation.
Helpful Hydration Resources:
- WaterMinder – Simple water tracking with reminders
- Plant Nanny – A fun, gamified hydration tracker
Sleep & Stress: The Missing Pieces
Quality sleep and stress management directly impact hormones that regulate appetite, fat storage, and insulin sensitivity. These are not luxuries—they’re necessities for sustainable weight loss.
Helpful Sleep & Stress Resources:
- Insight Timer – Free guided meditations and sleep stories
- Headspace (free basics) – Mindfulness and meditation exercises
- Sleep Cycle – Sleep tracking and smart alarm features
