Overview: Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes but has also proven effective for weight loss. It mimics the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake.
• How it Works: Semaglutide helps reduce hunger and cravings by slowing gastric emptying and enhancing feelings of fullness. It’s typically administered via weekly injections.
• Ideal Candidates: Individuals with a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with weight-related health conditions (e.g., hypertension or type 2 diabetes).
• Results: Studies show an average weight loss of 10-15% of initial body weight over 68 weeks.
• Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which often lessen over time.
Overview: Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. Originally developed for diabetes management, it has shown impressive results for weight loss.
• How it Works: By mimicking both GLP-1 and GIP hormones, it promotes satiety, reduces appetite, and improves insulin sensitivity.
• Ideal Candidates: Similar to Semaglutide, it is ideal for individuals struggling with obesity or those with weight-related medical conditions.
• Results: Tirzepatide has shown even greater potential for weight loss, with some studies indicating up to 20% body weight reduction over a 72-week period.
• Side Effects: Like Semaglutide, gastrointestinal issues are common initially, but these often improve with continued use.
Overview: Lipotropics are compounds that help break down fat in the liver and promote fat loss. They are often administered as injections and can be combined with other weight loss programs.
• Common Components: Typically include Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC) along with B12 and other nutrients that promote fat metabolism.
• How it Works: These compounds help the body metabolize fat more efficiently and improve liver function. B12 also boosts energy levels, which can aid in physical activity and overall well-being.
• Ideal Candidates: Anyone looking to enhance the results of their weight loss program or maintain energy levels during calorie restriction.
• Results: Lipotropic injections may support increased fat loss, especially when combined with diet and exercise. They can help target stubborn fat areas and enhance weight loss results.
• Side Effects: Minimal side effects, but some individuals may experience mild soreness at the injection site or allergic reactions.
• Overview: Vitamin B12 injections are often used in weight loss programs to boost energy and metabolism, especially for those with a deficiency.
• How it Works: B12 helps convert food into energy, supporting higher energy levels, and can improve mental clarity, making it easier to stick to weight loss goals.
• Ideal Candidates: Individuals with low energy levels, or those who are deficient in B12, often benefit from these injections.
• Results: While B12 doesn’t directly cause weight loss, it can help improve energy, allowing for more effective workouts and adherence to dietary plans.
• Side Effects: Generally safe, with minimal side effects, though some may experience mild injection site soreness.
• Overview: Prescription appetite suppressants (such as contrave) can be a useful tool for weight loss, helping to reduce cravings and caloric intake.
• How it Works: These medications act on the central nervous system to suppress appetite, making it easier to follow a calorie-restricted diet.
• Ideal Candidates: Individuals struggling with portion control or emotional eating, often combined with other weight loss methods.
• Results: Studies show that appetite suppressants, when used properly, can result in significant weight loss over a few months.
• Side Effects: Potential side effects include increased heart rate, dry mouth, and insomnia.
• Overview: A key component of any weight loss plan is personalized diet and nutritional guidance. Whether through meal plans, educational workshops, or individual counseling, this service ensures that patients adopt sustainable, healthy eating habits.
• How it Works: A meal plan with sample that focuses on calorie reduction, portion control, and balanced nutrient intake.
