Lose the weight. Keep the muscle.
Medically supervised GLP-1 programs personalized to your body and goals — sustainable fat loss guided by real body-composition data, not just a number on the scale. Led by Ashley Sutton, FNP‑MSN.
What are GLP-1s?
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 peptides have become a game-changer in medical weight loss. They mimic your body's natural GLP-1 hormone — regulating appetite, blood sugar, and insulin. By slowing gastric emptying and increasing fullness, they naturally reduce calorie intake for sustainable, effective loss.
At River's Edge we go further: every GLP-1 program is combined with supportive vitamins and supplements and tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and health — personalized, medically guided, and focused on long-term success, not quick fixes.
The InBody 580 keeps you honest
A state-of-the-art body composition analyzer establishes your detailed baseline, then tracks body fat percentage, visceral fat, and skeletal muscle mass over time.
That means we know you're losing visceral fat — not the muscle your body needs for strength and metabolism. If loose skin becomes a concern along the way, our body contouring and medspa services help tighten and refine your results.
Questions, answered honestly
GLP-1 peptides mimic a natural hormone that regulates hunger and blood sugar — slowing gastric emptying, reducing cravings, and increasing fullness, so you naturally eat less without white-knuckle willpower.
GLP-1s are FDA-approved medications with a long track record from diabetes care. Every program here is medically supervised by Ashley Sutton, FNP-MSN, with a health screen before you start and ongoing check-ins.
That's exactly what we guard against. InBody 580 scans track your skeletal muscle and visceral fat separately, and your plan — including protein and supplement support — is tuned to preserve muscle while fat comes off.
Most clients see steady, sustainable progress within the first month, with doses adjusted gradually. We aim for healthy long-term loss, not crash results that rebound.
If it becomes a concern as weight comes off, our body contouring and medspa services can help tighten and refine your results — all under one roof.
Programs are personalized, so pricing depends on your medication and plan — your $50 consultation — credited toward your program — includes a full quote before you commit to anything.
What to expect
Come a few minutes early, settle in, and share your goals — every medical weight loss visit starts with a short, unhurried check-in so the session fits you, not a template.
Your provider tailors the work to your body and comfort as you go — speak up anytime; adjusting is part of the craft.
You leave with honest aftercare guidance — what to expect tonight, and how to keep the benefit building between visits.
One roof, every discipline
Clinical services run under the direction of Ashley Sutton, FNP-MSN — spa comfort with medical standards behind it.
Day spa, medspa, Western medicine, and Eastern medicine under one roof — your plan can draw from all four.
Every visit ends riverside — linger in the River Room or on the rooftop instead of rushing back to the car.
Pairs well with
Medical weight loss slots naturally into a larger plan — many clients stack these in the same visit or alternate them through the season.
