She understands the battle between fighting cravings, taming stubborn physiology,and the struggle to make healt

hy choices everyday. She knows that none of her patients "want" to be unhealthy or gain weight but there are several factors that make losing weight easier said than done. Dr. Covington chose to specialize in obesity management after seeing that a great deal of adult chronic diseases were impacted by excess weight. She noticed that for her diabetic and hypertensive patients who lost weight, not only did their health and quality of life improve, but their medications decreased.

Today, April 1st, 2026, the FDA officially approved FOUNDAYO™ (orforglipron), and it’s changing the game for our clinic. Why are we so excited? Because FOUNDAYO™ isn't just another medication—it's freedom.

🚫 NO NEEDLES: A once-daily oral pill.

☕ NO TIMING RULES: Take it anytime, with or without food (no more waiting 30 mins for breakfast!).

🧳 NO REFRIGERATION: Perfect for travel and busy lifestyles.

📉 PROVEN RESULTS: Average weight loss of 12.4% in clinical trials.

"In the ATTAIN-1 trial, individuals taking the highest dose of orforglipron who stayed on treatment lost an average of 27.3 pounds (12.4%) compared to 2.2 pounds (0.9%) with placebo."

Our goal is to find the right tool for your specific biology. We are proud to offer all FDA-approved weight loss options, including:

✅ Zepbound (Injections)
✅ Wegovy (Injections and the Oral Pill)
✅ Non-GLP options for patients who need a different metabolic approach.

While weekly injections still offer the convenience of once-a-week administration and generally higher total weight loss percentages, we are always thrilled when we have more options for our patients.

Cost & Accessibility: Although we are unsure of the exact retail price at this stage, we anticipate it to be lower than current injection prices, making this a potentially more accessible route for many. (Early reports indicate self-pay options may start as low as $149/month).

📍 Contact the clinic today to see if this new oral option is the right fit for your 2026 health goals!

Chapter 1: Vision

Stepped away from the clinic for a rare lunch break out of the office and into something intentional.

What began as a vision board class became a moment of reset, reflection, and connection. I celebrated wins I later recognized were set in motion in 2024 and fully realized in 2025, met a new friend, , and was reminded that health is not only physical. It is mental, emotional, and social.

A new year brings renewed vision and clear intention.

For high-performing, high-responsibility professionals, isolation can quietly become the norm. Sustainable health requires community, alignment, and space for connection.

Thank you to for leading with purpose, and to for curating an environment where professionals can pause and recalibrate.

Yours in health, vitality, and abundance,

Dr. Covington
