Led by Emile Kettle, PA
— Center Director
At New Horizons Wellness Center, every weight loss plan is led by Emile Kettle, PA, our Center Director with over 18 years of clinical experience. Medical oversight is provided by Dr. Jonathan Cheng, M.D., Ph.D., our Board-Certified Medical Director, who personally reviews every patient chart — including all lab results and medication decisions.
This level of physician oversight is rare in non-surgical weight loss clinics and is a core part of how we keep our patients safe. Every plan is built around your metabolism, hormone levels, medical history, and lifestyle factors.
InBody Scanning at
New Horizons Wellness
Unlike scale weight alone, the InBody body composition analysis measures your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat level, and segmental water balance. Every patient at New Horizons receives an InBody scan at every visit — so we track real progress, not just a number on a scale.
This data-driven approach means we can measure whether you're losing fat while preserving lean muscle — the difference between healthy weight loss and simply losing weight.

in Shenandoah, TX
Most weight loss programs hand you a medication and a meal plan. Without lab data, hormone testing, and body composition tracking, you cannot know whether you are losing fat or muscle, or whether the underlying cause of your weight gain is being addressed at all.
At New Horizons, every weight loss plan begins with comprehensive lab work and an InBody body composition analysis — then layers in GLP-1 medications, peptide therapy, or hormone optimization based on what your data actually shows.

Your journey follows three phases
Your journey at New Horizons follows three phases: evaluation, active fat loss, and long-term maintenance. Inside the active phase, we offer three medically supervised program tracks. Your provider matches you to the right track based on your lab results, body composition, and goals.
Blood tests can detect nutrient deficiencies, diabetes, prediabetes, hormone imbalances, and other conditions that require treatment. Your provider then tailors a personalized weight management plan.
Three Phases
Which Weight Management
Programs Are Available?
Three medically supervised program tracks — your provider matches you to the right track based on your lab results, body composition, and goals.
Signature Weight Management
The New Horizons Signature program offers gradual, sustainable weight loss through a fully individualized plan.
Your program features a medical consultation, comprehensive four-panel lab work, body composition analysis, nutritional analysis and counseling, exercise recommendations, and lifestyle changes. Includes a 30-day appetite suppressant prescription if needed.
hCG Diet Program
A low-calorie meal plan plus prescription-grade hCG injections, targeting an average weight loss rate of ½ to 1 pound per day.
Includes the signature plan plus an appetite suppressant and diuretic medication when needed, a guidebook, and food journal. By consuming a 500–700 calorie deficit, you burn stored body fat.
Weight Loss with GLP-1 / GIP Dual Agonists
GLP-1 / GIP dual agonist weight loss medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide) also help reduce blood glucose levels. These medicines enhance traditional weight loss programs and are administered as weekly injections.
They help you feel fuller longer, making it easier to keep a calorie deficit — with some of the strongest clinical outcomes in non-surgical weight loss.
Which Weight Management Plan
Is Right For Me?
We determine the right plan after a full evaluation — no guesswork, no one-size-fits-all approach.

Blood tests can detect nutrient deficiencies, diabetes, prediabetes, hormone imbalances, and other conditions that require treatment. Your provider then tailors a personalized weight management plan.

Our 4-Pillar Approach to
Medical Weight Loss
Sustainable weight loss requires more than a single intervention. Every patient follows a four-pillar protocol that addresses the metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral drivers of weight gain at once.
Comprehensive Lab & Hormone Testing
Thyroid function, sex hormones, fasting glucose, A1c, lipid panel, and inflammation markers. We measure before we prescribe.
InBody Body Composition Analysis
Tracks fat mass, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and segmental water balance at every visit — progress measured in body composition, not just scale weight.
Targeted Medication & Peptide Therapy
GLP-1 and GIP dual agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), sermorelin for growth hormone optimization, and bioidentical hormones when indicated. Dosing is titrated to your clinical response.
Behavior & Nutrition Coaching
Each visit includes time with the clinical team to refine eating patterns, troubleshoot plateaus, and protect lean muscle mass during fat loss.
Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
at New Horizons
GLP-1 and GIP dual agonist medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-recognized for weight management. Administered as weekly injections, they reduce appetite and support significant fat loss by helping you feel fuller longer.
At New Horizons, all GLP-1 prescriptions are made under the direct oversight of Dr. Jonathan Cheng, M.D., Ph.D., with dosing titrated to your individual lab results and clinical response.

Medical Weight Management
At New Horizons Wellness Center, we take a medically supervised approach to weight management that goes far beyond calorie counting. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation from our clinical team, led by Center Director Emile Kettle, PA. Medical oversight is provided by Dr. Jonathan Cheng, M.D., Ph.D., our Medical Director, who personally reviews every patient chart — including all lab results and medication decisions.
This level of physician oversight is rare in non-surgical weight loss clinics and is a core part of how we keep our patients safe. We build individualized plans that account for your metabolism, hormone levels, medical history, and lifestyle factors.

What to Expect at
Your First Visit
Your initial consultation begins with a detailed health history review, including any prior weight loss attempts, current medications, and family history. We perform a body composition analysis to measure your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and baseline metabolic markers.
Depending on your health profile, we may order lab work to check thyroid function, hormone levels, blood sugar, and lipid panels. From there, we sit down with you to set realistic goals and outline a treatment path — whether that involves GLP-1 medications, hormone optimization, peptide therapy, or a combination.
This first visit typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and gives us the data we need to design a plan specific to your body.
Book Your First VisitWho Is a Candidate for
Medical Weight Management?
Medical weight management is appropriate for adults who have struggled with weight loss through diet and exercise alone, particularly those with a BMI of 27 or higher. Candidates often include patients dealing with insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, or metabolic conditions that make weight loss difficult without clinical intervention.
Patients with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea may benefit significantly from a supervised program. During your consultation, we evaluate your individual risk factors and health status to determine which treatment options are safe and effective for you.
