Medical Treatment, Chosen Carefully

Valenza offers individualized evaluation and treatment for medical weight management and hormone-related concerns. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription. Your clinician will recommend only the options that fit your clinical needs.

Medical Weight Management

GLP-1 / GIP Medical Weight Management

For eligible adults, treatment may include semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, or tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist.

These medications may reduce appetite, increase satiety, and support clinically meaningful weight loss when combined with nutrition, physical activity, resistance exercise, and other lifestyle measures.

Medication is generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater, or 27 kg/m² or greater with a clinically significant weight-related condition. These thresholds mainly apply when treatment begins.

Please noteIndividual results vary. Treatment does not guarantee a particular amount or rate of weight loss.

What patients can expect

  • Review of health history, medications, prior treatment, and safety considerations
  • Individualized medication selection and gradual titration
  • Laboratory testing when clinically indicated; adequate recent outside results may be used
  • Follow-up focused on response, nutrition, hydration, activity, side effects, and dosing
  • A focus on the lowest effective and well-tolerated dose
Hormone Care for Men

Male Testosterone Evaluation and TRT

Adult men with symptoms or clinical findings suggesting testosterone deficiency may be evaluated for testosterone replacement therapy.

Reasons to evaluate may include:

  • Reduced libido or sexual function
  • Reduced morning erections
  • Reduced energy or exercise capacity
  • Reduced muscle mass or strength
  • Unexplained anemia
  • Reduced bone density or other findings compatible with androgen deficiency
Important limitationTRT is not prescribed solely for bodybuilding, athletic enhancement, performance enhancement, or increasing muscle mass in a man with normal testosterone.

A diagnosis should generally be supported by compatible symptoms or findings together with consistently low testosterone concentrations—ordinarily including two separate total testosterone measurements. A single symptom or one low result is not ordinarily enough.

Men with confirmed testosterone deficiency and no clinically significant contraindication may be offered TRT after discussion of potential benefits, risks, alternatives, fertility implications, and monitoring requirements.

Hormone Care for Women

Female Hormonal Evaluation and Testosterone Therapy

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause may affect sexual function, quality of life, and other aspects of health. Women with relevant symptoms may be offered an individualized hormonal evaluation.

Systemic testosterone therapy in women is generally off-label in the United States, and there are currently no FDA-approved testosterone products specifically indicated for women. The strongest evidence-based indication is hypoactive sexual desire disorder, particularly in postmenopausal women after appropriate evaluation of other contributing factors.

There is no universally accepted blood-test threshold that diagnoses ‘female testosterone deficiency.’ Baseline testosterone is used mainly to identify unexpected androgen excess, establish a reference, and support safety monitoring—not to make a diagnosis from a low number alone.

Important limitations

  • Testosterone is not routinely recommended solely because a woman uses GLP-1/GIP therapy
  • It should not be promoted as an established treatment for obesity, routine muscle preservation during weight loss, athletic enhancement, or general anti-aging
  • It should not replace appropriate estrogen therapy when estrogen deficiency is the primary cause of menopausal symptoms
  • Treatment requires monitoring for acne, increased hair growth, scalp hair loss, voice changes, clitoral enlargement, or other signs of androgen excess
Body Composition

Body-Composition, Nutrition, and Lean-Mass Support

Body composition is more informative than scale weight alone.

Valenza may use weight, circumference measurements, photographs or 3D shape tracking, and other available tools to document change over time.

The purpose is to help patients focus on excess-fat reduction, lean-mass preservation, strength, function, and sustainable habits.

The foundation

  • Adequate protein and nutrient-dense foods
  • Adequate hydration
  • Resistance exercise approximately two to four times weekly when medically appropriate
  • Regular physical activity
  • Smaller meals when early satiety develops
  • Avoidance of excessive caloric restriction and unnecessarily rapid weight loss
