what PATIENTS say
about our care
BEFORE“I had been dealing with issues pertaining to my weight for some time. It took me months to lose ten pounds on my own. Working with Thu has been such a transformative experience. Even though people say a part of the weight loss journey is changing one's mindset, I had such a hard time at first making all the changes. Thu exudes patience, her encouragement was genuine, and she treats your wins as her wins. Every milestone was met with such excitement and it was so empowering having her in my corner. Going from a size 12/14 to a size 6 and having lost well over 70 pounds, I know I couldn't have done this with out her and all the tools she's given me to make this all possible. I may have lost the weight, but I gained so much more confidence!”

We Build Metabolic Health | Not Just Smaller Bodies.
“I am thrilled to share the incredible transformation I've experienced over the past 2 years, shedding an impressive 97 pounds, going from 287 pounds to 190 pounds. This journey has not only altered my physical appearance but also profoundly changed my mindset and overall outlook on life.
One of the most significant shifts was my clothing size. I went from wearing a 2XL to now fitting comfortably into a medium! This change has boosted my confidence tremendously and made me feel more empowered in my daily life.
A special thanks goes out to Thu Phan, whose unwavering support and extensive knowledge in the medical field have been invaluable to my success. She helped me understand the critical role that nutrition and regular exercise play in achieving my weight loss goals. With her guidance, I realized that making healthier choices and prioritizing workouts is essential for sustained weight loss and improved well-being.
I am incredibly excited about how I look and feel, and I know this is just the beginning. I'm committed to continuing my journey, focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and further enhancing my fitness levels. Thu has truly changed my life for the better, and I'm grateful for her influence and encouragement along the way.
The journey to better health is a marathon, not a sprint, and with support and dedication, I know the best is yet to come!”

SG GLP-1 receptor agonist
Discover the future of weight management with SG, a powerful peptide therapy designed to revolutionize your approach to shedding excess pounds.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that help regulate blood sugar, appetite, and metabolic function. SG helps your body make more insulin, which is a hormone that lowers your blood sugar levels when they get too high, especially after you eat.
Mechanism of Action
Keeps Blood Sugar in Check: It also stops another hormone called glucagon from raising your blood sugar too much. This helps to keep your blood sugar levels from getting too high.
Makes You Feel Full: SG slows down how quickly your stomach empties after you eat, which makes you feel fuller for longer. This helps you eat less and can lead to weight loss.
Works on the Brain: It also acts on parts of your brain that control your appetite, making you less hungry overall, especially after eating.
SG helps your body manage blood sugar levels by making more insulin and controlling other hormones.
It also makes you feel full for longer and reduces your appetite, which can help you lose weight.
*Package listed includes cost of initial consultation, follow-up appointments, medication(s), supplies and shipping.
Price is subject to change.
Our services are available for Kansas residents via Telehealth, for residents outside the Wichita area, including smaller communities such as Garden City, Dodge City, Liberal, Hutchinson, Great Bend, McPherson, Winfield, Arkansas City, Colby, Goodland, and many more.
TZ GLP/GLP-1 receptor agonists
Embark on a journey to redefine your relationship with weight loss with TZ GIP/GLP-1, a breakthrough therapy poised to transform the way you approach shedding excess pounds. As an innovative peptide medication, TZ offers a tailored solution designed to address the complexities of weight loss with precision and efficacy.
Dual Action: TZ activates both the GLP-1 receptor, similar to SG, and the GIP receptor. GLP-1 and GIP are both hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, but they work in slightly different ways. By activating both receptors, TZ has a dual effect on blood sugar control.
Mechanism of Actions
Blood Sugar Control: Like SG, TZ stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high. This helps to lower blood sugar levels after meals. Additionally, TZ inhibits the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.
Appetite Regulation: TZ also affects appetite regulation in the brain. It can help reduce appetite and food intake, which may contribute to weight loss.
Different Receptor Activation: The key difference between TZ and SG lies in their activation of the GIP receptor. GIP has been shown to have effects on fat metabolism and body weight regulation that are different from those of GLP-1. By activating both receptors, TZ may have a more potent effect on weight loss compared to SG alone.
TZ works similarly to SG by helping to regulate blood sugar levels, reducing appetite, and promoting weight loss.
However, TZ dual action on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors may offer additional benefits in terms of weight management compared to semaglutide alone.

Weight Loss and HormonesHormones influence how the body stores fat, builds muscle, and regulates metabolism. When hormone balance shifts, weight loss can become much more challenging even with consistent diet and exercise. In some cases, evaluating hormone health and considering men’s hormone therapy or women’s hormone therapy may help support a more complete metabolic approach. Discuss this with your provider at your consultation or at your next follow up.
Frequently Asked Questions about our weight loss program
-
Most programs hand you a plan and hope it works. We personalize treatment based on your history, appetite patterns, labs, and lifestyle. The goal is not just weight loss — it’s learning how your body responds so results are repeatable.
-
Medication is only one tool. We also talk through eating patterns, protein intake, hunger cues, activity, and daily routines so the changes make sense long term. The goal is confidence managing your weight, not dependence on a prescription.
-
We actively work to prevent that. We discuss protein targets, resistance training, and recovery habits so weight loss comes primarily from fat, not muscle.
-
Not necessarily. Many patients use medication temporarily while habits and appetite regulation improve. We reassess regularly and taper thoughtfully when appropriate.
-
Most people notice appetite changes first, then steady weight loss over the following weeks. We aim for consistent progress rather than rapid drops that are hard to maintain.
-
Maintenance depends on the habits built during treatment. The program focuses on understanding hunger and routine, and building sustainable habits so results are easier to keep once medication is reduced or stopped.
-
Labs help us identify metabolic factors that can slow progress and guide a more individualized plan instead of trial and error but are not required.
-
People who feel stuck despite effort, struggle with appetite control, or notice their body responding differently than it used to. A phone consultation helps determine whether this approach fits you. Feel free to call contact us with any questions. 316-613-0850
-
Follow-ups are used to adjust the plan, review symptoms, and talk through real-life challenges so progress stays steady and realistic. We offer convenient phone call follow up appointments, as well as in person visits.
-
Yes. Weight loss consultations and follow-up visits can be completed entirely through telehealth for patients located in Kansas. Regular follow-ups are still required to continue treatment, and missed visits may result in suspended medication refills.
Wellness Culture serves patients throughout Kansas, including Wichita and Kansas communities such as Derby, Goddard, Maize, Haysville, Augusta, Bel Aire, Valley Center, and Park City. Our telehealth services are available to patients across Kansas, including smaller communities such as Garden City, Dodge City, Liberal, Hutchinson, Great Bend, McPherson, Winfield, Arkansas City, Colby, Goodland, and many more.
-
We reassess habits, nutrition patterns, sleep, stress, and medication response. Plateaus are expected and usually fixable once we understand why they’re happening. The goal is to keep adjusting the plan to you, not simply continue treatment unchanged, so results remain realistic and sustainable over time.
-
Many people feel nervous about injections at first, and that’s completely understandable. The needles used for these medications are very small, and most treatments are administered as either subcutaneous injections (just under the skin) or intramuscular injections, depending on the specific therapy.
Most patients find that the injections are quick (especially quicker than taking time out of your schedule to visit our clinic) and easier than they expected once they learn the technique. We provide clear instructions and guidance so you feel comfortable administering them safely at home.
If injections still feel uncomfortable for you, we can discuss alternative approaches and determine what options may be the best fit for your situation.
Unlocking the Power of GLP-1 Medications: A Comprehensive Guide from Wellness Culture
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are changing the landscape of medical weight loss. By helping regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce food noise, they create the space many people need to finally make progress. But medication alone isn’t the answer.
The real transformation happens when weight loss is paired with strength training, protein-focused nutrition, metabolic education, and daily habits that support long-term health. Because the goal isn’t just losing weight, it’s building a body and lifestyle that can sustain results even after coming off medication.
If you’re exploring medical weight loss in Wichita and want a strategy built around long-term metabolic health, not dependency, this article breaks down how GLP-1 therapy works and how to use it the right way.
