Salt Lake City’s Medical Weight Loss Clinic
A key differentiator for Advanced Medical Weight Loss is the focus and credentials of its leading physician, Dr Derek Muse. He is board-certified in Obesity Medicine by the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) and is a Fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association (FOMA). This is a specialized certification that not all doctors have. It signifies a deep expertise in the medical treatment of obesity.
Many other clinics offer personalized care, but this is often based on standard metrics like BMI, blood work, and general lifestyle questions. Our clinic uses the Muse Satiety System which offers a more unique, tailored framework that may appeal to patients who have struggles with other programs and believe their weight issues are related tother body’s specific hunger and fullness signals.
Advanced Medical Weight Loss was established in 2008. This long-standing experience means our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of obesity as a chronic disease, not just the latest trend. Our providers have seen what works and what doesn’t, allowing them to integrate lifestyle coaching, diet, and medications like GLP-1’s into a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment plan with a seasoned perspective. This history speaks to his credibility and commitment to patient care, well beyond any single medication.
Don’t know how to choose a diet? Struggling to find a weight loss plan that works for you? Cut through all the confusion and choose a certified American Board of Obesity Medicine physician to help with weight loss and weight maintenance. Our clinic is one of the more affordable in the Salt Lake Valley. We can help you, or members of your household, lose weight quickly and safely.
GLP 1’s
As a clinic we have seen firsthand the transformative impact of GLP-1 receptor agonsits (GLP-1s). These aren’t just another weight loss fad; they represent a significant leap forward in our understanding and treatment of obesity as a chronic disease. They work by mimicking a natural gut hormone, which helps regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin secretion. This approach helps patients by addressing the biological drivers of weight gain, offering new hope beyond traditional diet and exercise.
When used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, these GLP1 medications have a well-established and favorable safety profile, particularly when considering the significant risks of untreated obesity. The safety of GLP-1s is further supported by the substantial health benefits they provide. They have been shown to have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in patients with cardiovascular disease.
The key to a patient’s safety and success with GLP1’s is medical supervision. The qualified healthcare providers here will always put your concerns and health first which is why we take the time to conduct a thorough medical history, start patients on a low dose to minimize side effects, provide guidance on diet and lifestyle changes to support the medication’s side effects, and monitor for any potential serious side effects and adjust treatment as needed.
Effective Medical Weight Loss
Our weight loss programs have helped our patients to lose up to 30 pounds in the first six weeks. Others have lost 200 pounds after a year. Whether it’s the first or last 30 pounds, Advanced Medical Weight Loss can make your dream become a reality.

Effective Medical Weight Maintenance
When you have met your weight loss goals, you can join our weight maintenance program to keep those pounds off. Most dieters have lost weight before, only to gain it back. Dr. Muse and his colleagues have the training and skills required to design a weight maintenance program that will really work for you.
Our Treatment Center & How to Get Started
Before beginning any of our plans, at your initial visit, every patient is required to have preliminary blood work and a screening EKG. Once those lab results come back, our providers will send out the prescriptions to the pharmacy and you will start scheduling your monthly follow ups. When you meet your weight loss goals, you can join our weight maintenance program to keep those pounds off.
