Individual results vary and are not guaranteed. Every protocol begins with labs and a physician review.

— Our Approach

We believe weight loss is a medical event, not a willpower test.

Most weight loss programs fail not because their patients are weak, but because their programs are. They ignore the physiology — the hormones, the inflammation, the metabolic adaptations — and treat a clinical condition as a question of motivation.

Our approach is the opposite. We measure first. We test thyroid, A1C, sex hormones, and lipid markers before we recommend a single thing. Then we build a protocol around what we find: FDA-approved medications where indicated, nutrition counseling that respects your life, weekly accountability — and ongoing monitoring so we can adjust as you change.

Keeping it off is the standard we measure ourselves against.

— The Program

Four phases. One arc.

A four-phase clinical arc that begins with measurement and ends with maintenance — never with a discharge. The pace is set by your labs and your progress, not a calendar.

I01 / Measure

Comprehensive labs& intake

A full metabolic panel, thyroid screen, A1C, lipids, and hormone profile, plus an unhurried intake with a medical provider — so the plan starts from what your body is actually doing.

Week 1
II02 / Build

Personalized protocol

Built from your physiology, not a template. May include FDA-approved medications, GLP-1 therapy, vitamin injections, nutrition counseling, and behavioral support — combined where indicated.

Week 2
III03 / Adjust

Active loss& check-ins

Weekly one-on-one accountability visits, vitamin injections where prescribed, and progress tracked in our mobile app. Dose, protocol, and approach adjusted to what your body is doing.

Active phase
IV04 / Hold

Maintenance for good

Once goal weight is reached, we transition you to a maintenance plan with ongoing support — the same team, for as long as you want them. Losing it is step one; our program is built around keeping it off.

Ongoing

— What's Inside

Four pillars. Combined where the science supports it.

The components below are the levers we pull. Not every patient needs every pillar — combinations are determined by your labs, history, and goals.

Medical supervision

A physician-led team oversees every protocol — intake, ongoing adjustments, and labs. Doctor-supervised from the first visit, not a coach with a script.

Physician-ledLab-guided

GLP-1 therapy

Semaglutide and tirzepatide protocols, prescribed where clinically indicated and titrated carefully to minimize side effects.

SemaglutideTirzepatide

Medications & injections

FDA-approved prescription appetite suppressants where appropriate, plus lipotropic B-complex vitamin injections that support your program, administered weekly.

Appetite suppressantsLipo-B12

Nutrition & behavior

Nutrition and dietary counseling designed around your life, health coaching, and a mobile app to track calories, exercise, and progress between visits.

— Patient Reviews

In their own words.

Verbatim from our patients' public Google reviews. Individual results vary — these are their stories, not a promise.

The staff at Bubolo is amazing, they are so supportive and encouraging. I began my journey with them in February of 2025 and have lost 95 lbs in less than a year!
Shana Adams95 lbs in under a year
With their support and guidance, I was able to lose over 40 pounds to get back to my pre-baby weight — and just as importantly, maintain my weight after hitting my goal. … The process felt completely personalized and sustainable — not like a crash diet or quick fix.

— Two Clinics · One Standard

Weight loss in Acworth & Marietta.

Both Cobb County clinics run the same physician-supervised program — same labs, same medications, same weekly support. Choose the door that's closer; the standard doesn't change.

Acworth

3889 Cobb Parkway NW, Acworth, GA 30101

Bubolo Medical has served Acworth-area patients since 2001, and our flagship Cobb Parkway clinic runs the full program under one roof — labs, weekly Lipo-B12 injection visits, and physician oversight — a short drive from Kennesaw, Woodstock, Cartersville, and Dallas, GA.

Marietta

620 Cherokee St NE, Suite 250, Marietta, GA 30060

The same program in the heart of Marietta — convenient to East Cobb, Smyrna, and central Cobb County. Weekly accountability visits and injections without the drive up Cobb Parkway, plus virtual check-ins for established patients across Georgia.

Not sure which is closer? Call (770) 975-1299 — one number reaches both clinics — or browse all service areas across the northwest Atlanta metro.

— Common Questions

Things people ask us, often.

01Do I need to be on GLP-1 medications to enroll?

No. GLP-1 therapy is one tool we use, but it's not required and it's not always indicated. Your protocol is built around your labs and history. Many of our patients lose weight successfully without ever taking a GLP-1.

02What weight loss medications do you offer?

Depending on your labs, history, and goals, your physician may prescribe GLP-1 therapy (semaglutide or tirzepatide), FDA-approved prescription appetite suppressants, and lipotropic B-complex vitamin injections that support your program. Nothing is prescribed until a medical provider has reviewed your labs and history.

03Where are your weight loss clinics?

We have two Cobb County clinics: Acworth at 3889 Cobb Parkway NW and Marietta at 620 Cherokee St NE, Suite 250 — serving Kennesaw, Woodstock, Cartersville, Dallas, Smyrna, East Cobb, and the northwest Atlanta metro. Virtual care is available for patients across Georgia. Call (770) 975-1299 to get started at either location.

04How much does the program cost?

Costs vary with the protocol and medications your plan calls for, so we quote them after your consultation — which is free, with no obligation. A patient coordinator will review your medical coverage and help determine your out-of-pocket costs before you commit. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards, and payment arrangements are available.

05Will my insurance cover any of it?

It depends on your plan. Some elements, such as certain labs and consults, may be covered. A patient coordinator will review your medical coverage with you and help determine what your out-of-pocket costs would be — before any money changes hands.

06What happens if I plateau?

Plateaus are expected and almost always solvable. We adjust dose, swap medications, re-run labs to look for thyroid or hormone shifts, and occasionally take you off active loss for a brief metabolic reset. This is exactly what the ongoing supervision is for.

07Can I do this virtually?

Much of the program can be delivered virtually if you are a Georgia resident — check-ins, coaching, and follow-ups can happen over secure video. Some elements, like lab draws and certain treatments, are done in person at our Acworth or Marietta clinics.

08What about the side effects of GLP-1 drugs?

Most side effects (nausea, GI discomfort) are dose-dependent and resolve with careful titration. We start lower and move slower than typical protocols, which reduces side effects. Preserving lean muscle matters too — we address it with nutrition and resistance-training guidance as part of your plan.

Begin better.
