BioTE® Hormone Optimization
We offer BioTE® hormone optimization therapy for appropriate adult patients experiencing symptoms that may be associated with hormonal changes or imbalance. Following a comprehensive consultation and laboratory evaluation, treatment may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using small hormone pellets placed beneath the skin, where they gradually release hormones over time. Each treatment plan is individualized based on symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings, and ongoing monitoring. We also offer select BioTE® nutraceuticals and wellness supplements that may be incorporated into a personalized plan to support overall health and well-being. Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and potential benefits, risks, and alternatives are carefully reviewed before treatment.

Medical Weight Management with Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
At Prosper Comprehensive Care and Mariposa Med Spa, we offer physician-supervised medical weight management designed to help appropriate patients achieve meaningful, sustainable weight loss while improving overall health and wellness. Treatment may include medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, when medically appropriate.
These medications work by mimicking naturally occurring incretin hormones involved in appetite, digestion, and glucose regulation. Semaglutide activates GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptors, helping decrease appetite and caloric intake while slowing gastric emptying and enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Tirzepatide has a dual mechanism, activating both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptors, which work together to influence appetite, food intake, and metabolic regulation.
Clinical studies of FDA-approved weight-management formulations have demonstrated substantial results. In major clinical trials, patients receiving semaglutide achieved an average body-weight reduction of approximately 15% over 68 weeks, while patients receiving tirzepatide achieved average reductions of approximately 15–21% over 72 weeks, depending on dose and individual response. Individual results vary, and medication is only one component of successful long-term weight management.
Our approach combines medical therapy with individualized nutritional guidance, appropriate calorie and protein intake, regular physical activity, and resistance exercise to help preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss. Patients are medically evaluated before treatment and followed throughout the program so that progress, medication tolerance, laboratory findings when appropriate, and overall health can be monitored.
Our goal is not simply to lower the number on the scale, but to help patients reduce excess body fat, preserve lean muscle, improve metabolic health, develop healthier habits, and establish a realistic strategy for maintaining their results long term.
Vitamin B12 Injections:
Supporting Nerve Health, Energy & Cellular Function
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in maintaining healthy nerves, producing red blood cells, supporting brain function, and helping the body convert food into usable energy. At the cellular level, vitamin B12 is necessary for DNA synthesis, normal cell division, fatty acid metabolism, and the proper functioning of the nervous system. It serves as a cofactor for two important enzymes, methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which are involved in methylation reactions, amino acid metabolism, and cellular energy pathways.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause persistent fatigue, weakness, anemia, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, mood changes, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, balance difficulties, and potentially permanent nerve damage if left untreated. Maintaining adequate vitamin B12 levels supports healthy blood cell production, neurological function, cognitive health, and normal cellular metabolism.
Fatigue can have many underlying causes beyond vitamin B12 deficiency. Some of the most common include anemia, thyroid disorders, sleep disorders (including sleep apnea), diabetes or other metabolic conditions, and depression or anxiety. At Prosper Comprehensive Care, our physician-led approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms. We offer comprehensive medical evaluations, including appropriate laboratory testing and diagnostic assessments, to identify the underlying causes of fatigue. Our goal is to provide personalized, evidence-based treatment that addresses the root cause, helping you restore your energy, improve your overall health, and feel your best.
Although vitamin B12 is generally considered safe, unusually elevated B12 blood levels should not automatically be considered beneficial. High levels, particularly without supplementation, may sometimes be associated with underlying medical conditions, including liver disease, kidney dysfunction, or certain blood disorders. B12 injections can also occasionally cause side effects, including injection-site discomfort, acne-like skin eruptions, or allergic reactions.
At Prosper Comprehensive Care, we offer vitamin B12 injections for patients with a documented deficiency or other appropriate medical indications. Our approach includes individualized evaluation, appropriate laboratory testing, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safe and effective treatment. Our goal is to restore and maintain healthy vitamin B12 levels—not to administer unnecessary supplementation.
