Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss refers to an approach to weight management with the guidance of a healthcare provider. It involves a personalized plan that integrates dietary adjustments, physical activity recommendations and medications. The goal is to promote sustainable weight loss and improve overall health. If you have been unsuccessful in losing weight through dieting and exercise alone, you may be a candidate for medical weight loss.
Benefits of Medical Weight Loss
- Improved Health : Reduction in the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers.
- Increased Energy Levels: Often leads to improved energy levels and stamina for daily activities.
- Enhanced Mobility: Reduced weight can alleviate strain on joints and muscles, leading to improved mobility and flexibility.
- Better Sleep: Improved sleep quality and reduced sleep disturbances such as sleep apnea.
- Improved Mood: Positively impact mood and mental well-being, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Increased Confidence: Achieving weight loss goals can boost self-esteem and confidence in both personal and professional life.
- Lower Healthcare Costs: Reduction in weight-related health problems can lead to lower medical expenses over time.
- Longer Life Expectancy: Studies suggest that maintaining a healthy weight is associated with a longer life expectancy and improved overall health span.
Treatment Options
GLP-1
GLP-1 – Glucagon-Like Peptide
Appetite Regulation
- GLP-1 fine-tunes appetite regulation by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the brain’s hypothalamus.
- This binding acts as an “off switch” for overeating, leading to feelings of fullness and reduced appetite.
Gastric Emptying Delay
- GLP-1 delays gastric emptying, resulting in prolonged fullness after meals.
- Reduced post-meal hunger contributes to better calorie control.
Insulin Sensitivity Enhancement
- GLP-1 improves insulin sensitivity, positively impacting overall metabolic health.
Administered
- Once a week subcutaneous injection.
GLP-1 & GIP
GLP-1 – Glucagon-Like Peptide
GIP – Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide
GLP-1 Receptor Targeting
- This medication mimics GLP-1 and GIP hormones.
- It interacts with GLP-1 receptors in the brain, regulating appetite and promoting feelings of fullness.
- This mechanism helps individuals consume fewer calories and maintain a healthier diet.
GIP Receptor Regulation
- This medication also regulates GIP receptors.
- This dual action enhances its effectiveness in weight management.
- GLP-1 & GIP may be an option for those seeking to shed excess pounds and improve overall health.
Administered
- Once a week subcutaneous injection.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
You can expect significant weight loss relatively quickly with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Research indicates that those taking these medications can often lose more than 15% of their initial body weight within the first few months of treatment. Individual results may differ based on adherence to the treatment regimen and metabolic variations. Nonetheless, many individuals observe substantial weight improvements over several months.
