You’ll start by meeting with our team for a comprehensive assessment of your health history as well as your goals, body composition, diet habits and fitness routine. Together, we’ll create a customized weight loss plan that fits your lifestyle. We know that everyone is unique and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution so we offer a range of medications. Through ongoing support and counseling, we’ll ensure that your weight loss journey is successful.
Injectable medication that works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) in the body, which helps to regulate appetite, food intake and glucose levels.
By mimicking GLP-1, semaglutide can reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness and slow down the movement of food through the digestive system which results in a reduced calorie intake and weight loss over time.
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme that is essential for cellular energy production. As we age, NAD levels decline which leads to a slower metabolism, reduced fat-burning capabilities and increased fatigue – all of which can stall your weight loss efforts and make it harder to push through a weight loss plateau. Adding NAD to weight loss medications helps ensure a higher resting metabolism and prevents hormone fluctuations that lead to rebound weight gain.
This medication has been shown to help patients lose a significant amount of weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, along with a host of other benefits like:
Improved insulin resistance
Reduced waist circumference
Lowered blood pressure
Improved cholesterol levels
Semaglutide is a great option for almost anyone looking to try a medicated weight loss option. During an initial consultation, we’ll talk about your health history and goals to decide if semaglutide is right for you.
A combination of two medications, bupropion and naltrexone, work together to reduce appetite and control cravings.
Bupropion is an antidepressant that also helps with weight loss by increasing levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain which can decrease appetite. Naltrexone is commonly used to treat addiction, but has been found to also have an effect on reducing food cravings.
Clinical trials have shown that those who took Contrave, along with a healthy diet and exercise routine, lost significantly more weight than those who only followed a healthy diet and exercise plan. On average, patients who took Contrave lost about 5-10% more of their body weight compared to 1-3% for those who did not.
Those with a body mass index (BMI) or 30 or higher OR a BMI of 27 along with at least one weight-related health condition (like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes) could be good candidates to take Contrave. It is best used in combination with a healthy diet and increased physical activity.
