What Are Ozempic and Mounjaro?

Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are prescription medications originally developed for diabetes management but now widely recognized for their weight loss benefits. They work by affecting hormones that control appetite and blood sugar. While effective for some, they are powerful drugs that are not suitable for everyone.

Why a Holistic Assessment Is Essential

At Whole Health & Wellness Lab, we believe that safe and effective weight management goes far beyond a prescription. Here's how our holistic approach protects your health and maximizes results:

1. Comprehensive Health Evaluation

Before considering any medication, our team conducts a thorough assessment—including:

• • Detailed medical history
• • Physical examination
• • Blood tests to check hormones, metabolic markers, kidney/liver function, and more

2. Personalized Risk-Benefit Analysis

Not all patients are candidates for weight loss injections. We evaluate your unique risks, underlying conditions, and current medications to ensure safety and appropriateness.

3. Integrated Wellness Plan

Medication may be part of your journey—but never the only solution. We incorporate:

• • Nutrition and dietary counseling
• • Physical activity and lifestyle support
• • Mental health screening and emotional wellbeing resources

4. Ongoing Monitoring & Support

Weight loss medications must be carefully monitored. We provide regular follow-ups, adjust your plan as needed, and support you through every step—avoiding common pitfalls and side effects.

WHOLE's Commitment to Holistic Health

At Whole Health & Wellness Lab in Plettenberg Bay, our medical team is committed to ethical, patient-centered care. We only recommend Ozempic, Mounjaro, or similar treatments when clinically indicated, and always as part of a broader plan to improve overall health and wellbeing.

A Responsible Path to Weight Loss on the Garden Route

If you're considering weight loss medication, seek a medical doctor who will take the time to understand your whole health profile—not just your weight. At Whole, your journey is about lasting results, not quick fixes.
