About Shape Up Central
A Clinic Built on Clinical Rigor,
Not Trendy Promises
Shape Up Central was founded on a simple conviction: weight loss and hormonal health are medical matters that deserve medical-grade solutions. Too many people in the Baton Rouge area are offered cookie-cutter plans, unproven supplements, and programs that ignore the underlying physiology driving their struggles.
Our practice takes a different path. Every patient begins with a thorough evaluation — including lab work, metabolic assessment, and a detailed health history — so we understand what's actually happening in their body before we recommend anything. Treatments are physician-directed, FDA-approved where applicable, and continuously adjusted based on your progress.
Whether you're managing stubborn weight, suspecting a hormonal imbalance, or looking for a medically supervised approach to wellness, Shape Up Central provides the clinical foundation and personalized attention you deserve.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
We offer a range of physician-supervised treatments including GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide), compounded medications, appetite suppressants, and metabolic support therapies. Your specific protocol depends on your health profile, lab results, and treatment goals — determined during your initial consultation.
No referral is required. You can contact us directly to schedule your consultation. However, we welcome communication with your primary care physician and will coordinate with them as part of your ongoing care whenever appropriate.
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified physician, hormone therapy is safe and effective for the right candidates. We begin with comprehensive lab work to confirm a hormonal imbalance before recommending any treatment, and we monitor your levels regularly throughout the course of therapy to ensure safety and optimize results.
Shape Up Central is a medical practice, not a spa. All treatments are prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician. We use FDA-approved medications, order clinical laboratory tests, and adjust your protocol based on objective health data. There are no IV drips marketed as "wellness boosts" or unregulated supplements — just evidence-based medicine tailored to your individual needs.
Your first visit includes a detailed health history review, discussion of your weight loss or wellness goals, a physical assessment, and ordering of any necessary lab work. We take the time to understand your full picture before making any recommendations. There is no pressure to begin treatment — you'll leave with a clear understanding of your options.
Insurance coverage varies by plan and service. We encourage you to call our office at (225) 329-3329 to discuss your specific situation. We are transparent about costs and will help you understand what is covered before you commit to any treatment.
