Medications & Prescriptions
In Our New Berlin Medical Weight Loss Clinic
At VIVA Wellness, we offer the most groundbreaking weight loss treatments.
Semaglutide Injections
Semaglutide delivers effective weight loss results through weekly injections, allowing you to achieve your goals without drastically changing your diet or lifestyle. As a non-stimulant, it helps reduce cravings, enhances feelings of fullness, and regulates blood sugar levels.
As a member of the GLP-1 family, semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone, prompting the body to produce more insulin, which helps lower blood glucose levels.
Benefits
- Aids in medical weight loss
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Can curb cravings to substances such as alcohol or nicotine
- Decreases appetite
- Improved blood sugar levels
- Improves blood pressure
- Improves cholesterol levels
CONTRAVE® (naltrexone HCI/bupropion HCl)
Contrave works on two key areas of the brain—the hunger center and the reward system—to reduce hunger and help control cravings. This weight loss aid combines two active ingredients: bupropion and naltrexone.
Bupropion, an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid, may help diminish appetite, while naltrexone, used to manage alcohol and opioid dependence, can also contribute to reducing food cravings. Together, these components target brain regions involved in regulating appetite and reward, promoting weight loss when used alongside a healthy diet and exercise program.
Benefits
- Combines bupropion and naltrexone for weight loss support.
- Reduces appetite and food cravings.
- Targets brain areas regulating appetite and rewards.
- Effective with diet and exercise.
- Prescribed for obesity (BMI ≥ 30) or BMI ≥ 27 with weight-related conditions.
- Helps maintain weight loss with continued use and lifestyle changes.
Phentermine
A short-term solution for appetite suppression. Works best in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.
Phentermine works by suppressing appetite through its effects on the central nervous system, specifically by increasing the release of certain neurotransmitters that reduce hunger. Phentermine is typically prescribed alongside lifestyle changes, such as a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, to promote effective weight loss in individuals with obesity.
Benefits
- Suppresses appetite, helping to reduce calorie intake.
- Increases energy expenditure, promoting weight loss.
- Typically used for short-term management of obesity.
- Can be effective when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
- Helps individuals achieve initial weight loss goals quickly.
Qsymia®
This is a combination of two drugs: Phentermine and Topiramate. It will help you eat less by reducing your appetite and feeling more satisfied with what you've eaten.
It is used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions, who also have at least one weight-related medical condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
Qsymia works by suppressing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, aiding in weight loss when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.
Benefits
- Combination of phentermine and topiramate extended-release.
- Suppresses appetite and increases feelings of fullness.
- Helps with chronic weight management in adults.
- Prescribed for individuals with obesity or overweight with weight-related medical conditions.
- Supports weight loss when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
- May improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and glucose control in some individuals.
Additional weight loss medications may be prescribed during your care.
We understand that every weight loss journey is different depending on the individual. We tailor a weight loss plan for your specific needs and it may require other medications not listed here.
Will I need to diet or exercise?
If you’re looking to maximize your weight loss results, a healthy lifestyle is a crucial piece, and that includes physical activity. While semaglutide can be effective on its own, incorporating good habits like a healthy diet and moderate exercise will take your journey to the next level.
To put it simply, relying on GLP-1 medications without improving your lifestyle is like filling your car with fuel but neglecting to change the oil. It may keep running for a while, but eventually, it’ll break down when the oil turns into sludge.
In one study, obese adults who combined semaglutide injections with diet and exercise achieved remarkable results. At the end of 68 weeks, half of the participants who used semaglutide and exercised lost at least 15% of their body weight, with a third losing an impressive 20%. On the other hand, the group that only made lifestyle changes without semaglutide only managed to lose around 2.4% of their weight. This clearly demonstrates the incredible potential of combining semaglutide with lifestyle modifications for weight loss success.

"I am so impressed with VIVA Wellness. They are so professional as well as warm, caring and encouraging. I started a weight loss program. I have had so much success, I am in shock! Yes, it is a plan meant to be followed closely, but with the weekly check ins, you feel so supported. It is like going to a pep rally every week. They genuinely care about your success and are so encouraging. I have had appointments with Jennifer, and she is so sweet, it is like you have another girlfriend in your corner. So understanding if you are struggling with something and give great suggestions to help get you through it. I have never had this kind of support with any other diet plan/company. I hope they know how much they are changing people's lives for the better. Not just as far as weight loss, but also in giving us confidence to better our lives for our own health."

"I just went for the consult yesterday so I can't say anything about results yet however Jennifer Hruz is AMAZING! She is SO thorough, easy to talk to and I can't say in my almost 40 years of life that I've had a better experience with any doctor. If you have anxiety like I do, do not fret, she is the EASIEST person to talk to! I can't wait to see my results!"
—Mary
"I cannot praise Jennifer and the staff at VIVA Wellness enough. Everyone there is so understanding and professional. While receiving medical weight loss counseling with Jennifer, I'm proud to say that I have lost eighty pounds. I'm seventy-six years young and so it might have taken me a little longer time, about one year, but Jennifer was always so patient and always there providing guidance and support. Jennifer's personal attention makes me feel like I'm her only client. I've learned so much. Needless to say, I'm looking better, but most importantly, I'm feeling great!! My blood pressure returned to normal, so my doctor discontinued my blood pressure meds. Thank you Jennifer for introducing me to and supporting me in my healthier lifestyle."
