The 12-week program · what the months look like
Twelve weeks, written down, with a nurse every one of them.
The structure under every Wrenhaven weight loss program: who you see, when, and what gets measured. It is the same whether you are on semaglutide, tirzepatide or no medication at all.
- Week zero: the Starting Line, labs drawn, body composition read, plan written.
- Weeks one to twelve: a nurse check-in every week, in person before work or on video at lunch.
- Weeks four, eight and twelve: a visit with Dana Whitfield, NP. Weeks two and nine: the dietitian.
- Week twelve: labs and body composition again, and the exit decision made together.

Results vary from person to person. Nothing on this page is a promise of weight lost or kept off, and a program may be declined after the Starting Line if it is not right for you.
Why it works
Why a weekly nurse is the whole program.
Medication is the easy part; a pharmacy can mail it. What goes wrong in GLP-1 programs is predictable: a bad week of nausea nobody hears about, a dose raised too fast, food that collapses to crackers, muscle lost with the fat, and an ending nobody planned. Each of those is caught by a nurse who talks to you every week and writes it down for the NP.
So the program is built around that call. The dose only moves after a check-in. The dietitian sees you twice, early and late. The body composition reading at week twelve is compared with day one, next to you, by the person who read the first one.
The Starting Line, in four steps
- 01
Labs
Drawn on site at the first visit: metabolic panel, thyroid, A1c, lipids. Back within two business days. Nothing is prescribed before they are.
- 02
Body composition
Muscle, fat and water, not just a number on a scale. Repeated at week twelve so the plan protects muscle, not just the total.
- 03
The plan
Medication if any, the dose schedule, the weekly check-in day, two dietitian sessions, the monthly NP visit, the price, and the exit plan. In writing, yours to keep.
- 04
The weekly
The same nurse every week, in person before work or on video at lunch. Side effects, dose, food, the hard week. A person, not a portal.
Candour
Who this is for, and who it is not
For
- Anyone starting a weight loss program here, on medication or not.
- People who work early; check-ins run from 7 am and on video.
- People who want the ending planned at the beginning.
Not for, or not yet
- Anyone who wants medication without the structure; we do not sell it that way.
- Anyone looking for a membership or a package; the program is monthly and you can leave.
- Anyone whose labs or history say no at the Starting Line. We say so and suggest where to go.
Who treats you
Named on every page, by design.
Elise Carter, RD
Registered Dietitian
Elise is the food half of the plan: two sessions in the first twelve weeks and the maintenance plan after, built around protein, appetite on medication, and what you actually eat on a Tuesday.
Illustrative stories. Wrenhaven is a fictional clinic; these are written examples, not patient reviews.
Week nine with Elise was the one that mattered. I had stopped eating protein without noticing and the week-twelve reading would have shown it.
Three NP visits, twelve calls, two lab draws. I could count what I was paying for.
Can the check-in be on video?
Yes. Most are. In person is available from 7 am for people who want the reading done or a dose given here.
What if I need more than twelve weeks?
Many people continue. At week twelve the decision is made with the labs in front of you: continue at the same monthly price, step the dose down, or move to maintenance.
Is the dietitian optional?
No. Two sessions are in every program because appetite on medication changes what you eat, and muscle is easy to lose without noticing.
Do I pay for twelve weeks up front?
No. Monthly, and you can stop. The Starting Line fee is credited against month one.
Who do I call?
Your nurse, directly. Jordan if it is about the calendar. Dana if the nurse says so. Dr. Raman is in the building.
