Medical Weight Loss & Injectables in Portland for Sports Performance and Surgical Readiness

A Personalized Medical Weight Loss Approach at Sports Health Northwest, Portland, Oregon.

Weight loss is complex and influenced by metabolic, hormonal, lifestyle, and medical factors. Our medical weight loss program begins with a one-on-one consultation and comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying contributors affecting your weight.

Our program may include:

• Medical history review and body composition analysis

• Comprehensive lab testing

• Nutrition and exercise guidance

• Sleep assessment and lifestyle coaching

• Coordination with your primary care provider

• Medical supervision of weight loss injections and injectables

We offer both insurance and self-pay options, depending on your care plan.

Weight Loss Injections and Injectables

For eligible patients, we provide medically supervised weight loss injections, including FDA-approved and clinically supported injectables such as Wegovy® (semaglutide) and tirzepatide. These medications work by targeting appetite regulation and metabolic pathways to support healthy, sustainable weight loss.

All weight loss injections are prescribed and monitored by an experienced medical provider to ensure safety, effectiveness, and appropriate dosing. Our goal is not rapid weight loss, but long-term metabolic health and improved quality of life.

Expert Medical Oversight

Our Medical Weight Loss and Metabolic Clinic is overseen by Leah Gaedeke, FNP-BC, a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience. Leah specializes in medical weight loss, metabolic health, and hormone-related conditions, taking a personalized, evidence-based approach for each patient.

IV Infusion Therapy for Weight Loss and Recovery

In addition to medical weight loss injections, Sports Health Northwest offers IV infusion therapy to support hydration, energy, recovery, and overall wellness. IV therapy is popular among athletes and weight loss patients looking to optimize performance and recovery while supporting their metabolic goals.

Each infusion is customized and administered in a medical setting under provider supervision.
