About Jonathan Schmidt, MD
Dr. Jonathan Schmidt, MD knew that something needed to change.
Overweight and uncomfortable, the time had come to slim down. But as a busy Direct Primary Care doctor with a thriving practice, he knew he needed help.
With a goal to lose 30 lbs. before he turned 40, Jonathan began calorie restricting and working out, finding that he lost only 7lbs. After seeing the significant weight loss his patients were experiencing with the help of weight loss medication, he decided to give these new injections a try.
In June of 2021 Mounjaro was approved for treatment of Type 2 Diabetes, but held the promise of weight loss that other GLP-1 medications offered. Within four months, Jonathan lost 70 lbs. Realizing the immense potential these medications could hold and that there was a lot of bad information about them, he began to write a book about his experience both professionally and personally with the medications
One of the biggest lessons along the way was the reality that, often, when patients would stop using the medication, they would start to gain the weight back. As Jonathan and his wife cracked the code to keeping the weight off even after stopping medication, he knew the time had come to walk alongside those who needed help.
Dr. Schmidt is a Direct Primary Care doctor in Indiana, working closely and directly with around 200 patients, as opposed to the 3,000-5,000 carried by many physicians. He believes in personal care, including house calls, hospital visits, and patients having his cell number.
While he keeps to a small circle of patients as a doctor, Jonathan believes in supporting those who simply need a hand in keeping the weight off—not as their personal physician, but as someone with experience in the world of medicine and personal knowledge of weight loss injections.
He would love to invite you on this journey through his course and his book so that you can finally take a load off.
