CONTRAVE®

CONTRAVE® for Medical Weight Loss in Fort Lauderdale

At LowTE Florida®, Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, APRN offers CONTRAVE® as part of a personalized, medically supervised weight loss plan for patients throughout Fort Lauderdale and the Greater South Florida region. This FDA-approved treatment helps reduce cravings, support appetite control, and promote steady, sustainable weight loss for individuals who struggle with emotional or biological barriers to success.

CONTRAVE® represents a modern, science-based approach to appetite regulation. Instead of relying on stimulants, harsh diet cycles, or restrictive programs, CONTRAVE® targets the brain pathways involved in hunger and reward. For many people, constant cravings and strong food impulses are not a lack of willpower—they’re driven by neurobiology. CONTRAVE® helps rebalance those signals so you can feel more in control of your choices and your progress.

If dieting has left you feeling frustrated, defeated, or unable to maintain momentum, CONTRAVE® may offer the breakthrough you’ve been missing. Under the guidance of Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, APRN, patients receive a tailored treatment plan, ongoing support, and a medical strategy designed to work with the body rather than against it. This approach focuses on long-term stability—helping you build habits, regain confidence, and achieve weight loss that lasts.

This is not “just another diet.” It is a targeted medical intervention supported by nutrition counseling, lifestyle guidance, and consistent follow-up care. With the compassionate expertise of LowTE Florida®, you don’t have to navigate your weight loss journey alone.

What would it feel like to finally experience weight loss without the constant mental battle? Call Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, APRN at LowTE Florida at (954) 791-4498 to find out if CONTRAVE is the right fit for your journey.

What’s Driving Your Weight Struggles?

Lasting weight loss begins with identifying what’s truly happening inside your body. The old “eat less, move more” advice overlooks the deeper biological factors that influence appetite, cravings, and metabolic function. At LowTE Florida®, we use CONTRAVE® as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss strategy to help patients overcome the root causes of weight resistance—whether that’s persistent hunger, emotional eating patterns, or hormone-driven cravings.

With CONTRAVE®, you are no longer fighting your biology. Instead, this treatment helps regulate appetite signals in the brain, making it easier to stay consistent, feel satisfied, and follow a sustainable plan that supports long-term success.

RECLAIM CONTROL OVER CRAVINGS

CONTRAVE® reduces the brain-based signals that drive compulsive eating. You’ll experience fewer urges, more stability, and freedom around food.

SCIENCE-BACKED WEIGHT LOSS

CONTRAVE® is FDA-approved and designed to target appetite and reward systems, helping you lose weight without relying on willpower alone.

NON-HORMONAL, NON INJECTABLE

Prefer to avoid injections or hormone-based treatments? CONTRAVE® is a daily pill, offering effective appetite control without needles.

CONSTANT HUNGER OR FOOD OBSESSION

If you’re always thinking about food, even when you’re not physically hungry, your brain’s hunger signaling could be misfiring. CONTRAVE® helps restore balance.

EMOTIONAL AND STRESSFUL EATING

Feel like food is your go-to for stress or comfort? CONTRAVE® helps reduce the dopamine reward that reinforces emotional eating patterns.

NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED

You’ve tried dieting, maybe even GLP-1s, and still feel stuck. CONTRAVE® offers a new approach by targeting appetite at the neurological level.

How CONTRAVE® Works

A Smarter, Science-Driven Approach to Appetite Control

CONTRAVE® offers a modern, evidence-based solution for individuals who struggle with persistent hunger or cravings that make weight loss difficult. Rather than relying on extreme calorie restriction or exhausting willpower, CONTRAVE® works by targeting the brain centers responsible for appetite and reward—helping reduce cravings and support healthier eating patterns.

Unlike fad diets or stimulant-heavy medications, CONTRAVE® supports steady, sustainable progress by regulating your internal appetite signals instead of fighting them. There’s no crash cycle, no deprivation model, and no guesswork—just a medical approach designed to help you regain control.

At LowTE Florida®, Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, APRN provides personalized, medically supervised weight loss programs that incorporate CONTRAVE® when appropriate. Patients throughout Fort Lauderdale and the Greater South Florida area benefit from advanced metabolic medicine, compassionate guidance, and an approach that works with the body to create long-term success.

CONDITIONS

Root Causes CONTRAVE® Helps Address

Appetite Signaling Dysfunction

For many individuals, hunger feels excessive, unpredictable, or difficult to control. CONTRAVE® works by influencing key appetite-regulation pathways in the brain, helping normalize hunger cues and reduce overeating driven by misfired biological signals.

Emotional & Reward-Driven Eating

Cravings aren’t just physical—they’re often tied to stress, emotions, and the brain’s reward response. CONTRAVE® helps moderate dopamine-driven eating patterns such as stress snacking, late-night cravings, and emotional overeating, making it easier to maintain balanced eating habits.

Metabolic Sluggishness

Chronic dieting, stress, hormonal changes, and certain medications can slow the body’s metabolic rate. By reducing food preoccupation and promoting more consistent intake, CONTRAVE® supports a healthier metabolic rhythm and can help restore more efficient calorie and fat utilization.

Resistance to Traditional Dieting

If standard diets haven’t worked, it’s not a lack of willpower—it’s biology. CONTRAVE® offers a targeted medical approach for individuals who experience strong cravings, plateaus, or difficulty sticking to conventional plans. By changing how the brain interprets food signals, it creates a more achievable path forward when other methods have failed.

FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions About CONTRAVE®

How is CONTRAVE® different from traditional dieting?

Most diets rely on willpower to override biological hunger cues. CONTRAVE® works differently—it helps regulate the brain pathways involved in appetite and food cravings, making it easier to feel satisfied and stay on track. It’s a medical tool designed to support your biology, not restrict it.

Is CONTRAVE® the same as Ozempic®?

No. CONTRAVE® is not a GLP-1 medication and does not require injections. It is an oral prescription that targets the central nervous system, specifically the brain regions responsible for appetite and reward. It works through an entirely different mechanism than Ozempic® or other GLP-1s.

How soon will I notice results?

Many patients experience a reduction in cravings within the first 1–2 weeks. Weight loss typically builds steadily over time, especially when paired with supportive nutrition and lifestyle habits. CONTRAVE® is designed for gradual, sustainable progress—not extreme or rapid drops.

Is CONTRAVE® safe for long-term use?

Yes. CONTRAVE® is FDA-approved for chronic weight management and has demonstrated long-term safety and effectiveness when used under medical supervision. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Can I discontinue the medication once I reach my goal?

In many cases, yes. CONTRAVE® can be tapered once weight stabilization is achieved. At LowTE Florida®, Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, APRN will guide you through a personalized discontinuation plan to help prevent rebound cravings or weight regain.

How does CONTRAVE® support long-term health?

By improving appetite control and supporting weight reduction, CONTRAVE® may help lower the risks associated with obesity, including metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. The goal is not just weight loss—it’s long-term health protection and improved quality of life.
