Medical Weight Loss in Hampstead, NC
Medical weight loss uses prescription GLP-1 medications to help regulate appetite, improve metabolic function, and support sustainable weight reduction. At Nyssa Wellness in Hampstead, NC, medical weight loss programs are clinically supervised and may include Tirzepatide, Zepbound, or Semaglutide based on individual health needs and goals.
At Nyssa Wellness, medical weight loss is treated as healthcare — not a trend. Our programs are provider-led, medically supervised, and designed for patients who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
We primarily prescribe Tirzepatide-based therapies, including Zepbound, with Semaglutide available when clinically appropriate. Treatment selection is based on medical history, lab work, and individual response — not one-size-fits-all protocols or online algorithms.
GLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite signals, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting metabolic balance. When used appropriately under medical supervision, they can help patients achieve meaningful, sustainable weight loss.
This is not a cosmetic quick fix. Our goal is long-term improvement in weight, metabolic health, and quality of life through responsible medical care.

- Persistent weight gain despite diet and exercise
- Metabolic resistance or insulin sensitivity concerns
- Difficulty controlling appetite or food noise
- Desire for physician-guided treatment rather than telehealth mills
WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE NYSSA WELLNESS
- Provider-led medical oversight
- Tirzepatide-first approach when appropriate

Testimonials
"I had a great experience seeing Jessica for a Myers Cocktail! I’m excited to come back and see her again- she was super informative when we spoke about HRT and supplementation."
Melinda
"Jessica Barnett was warm, easy to talk to, and explained medical terms in a way that non-medical people (like me) understand. I really appreciated the time she spent explaining potential solutions and an easy to understand plan to help me get there. It's a team effort and I'm glad to have Jessica on my Team!"
Desiree
"My wife and I met with NP Jessica Barnett. She was incredibly kind and extremely knowledgeable; explaining everything so the layperson could understand. All medical professionals could take a lesson from Jessica! Her ability to explain hyperthyroidism and the various metrics involved for proper diagnosis was better than any physician we have ever seen! Bravo Zulu! (Job well done!)"
Al
"AHHHHMAZING! Super professional, got IV drip from Jessica. She is super knowledgable and kind! Will definitely be visiting again!"
Molly
I had a wonderful experience today with Mobile IV therapy with Mrs Amanda! Will be using again and I highly recommend you giving them a try! You won’t be disappointed
I felt so much better after having had Covid for the past week! I would rate 10 stars if I could. Amanda was so personable and sweet natured.
Megan Scholtens
I had the pleasure of meeting Amanda today. My special needs son was down with a nasty stomach bug the last couple days. He was weak and severely dehydrated. I contacted Nyssa Wellness for their mobile IV services. I was able to get an appointment same day. Amanda came out was so kind, gentle and compassionate with my son. She explained everything she was doing thoroughly. She made the whole process completely comfortable for him. I highly recommend Amanda with Nyssa Wellness for IV therapy. It’s a great service. You don’t sit for hours in an ER being exposed to other illnesses. You can relax in the comfort of your own home getting pumped up with the fluids and vitamins you need to help boost your immune system.

Jessica is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel right at home. She's been doing my laser hair removal sessions for almost a year now and the results are amazing. My only regret with the laser hair removal process was not finding Jessica sooner in my life so I didn't have to waste all that time shaving!
Rebecca Kaszycki
Jessica is amazing! I can’t imagine going to see anyone else. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about every aspect of the procedures.

Jessica at Nyssa Wellness is fantastic! She's very knowledgeable about women's overall health, listens, and takes great care of her patients. The space is beautiful - calming, clean, and serene!
Yvette Evans
Excellent decision for me to have the treatment of testosterone pellets. In addition, Jess is able to customize the benefits I receive from understanding the vitamins I need and areas my body is deficient in through my blood work. Wish I would have done this years ago. Feel great on a daily basis and have way more energy. Did not realize how worn down and tired I was before my treatment. Gym workouts are also way better.
Thanks a million!!
