Medical Weight loss
What is Medical Weight Management?
Medical weight management is the process of losing weight with the help and guidance of a healthcare professional, typically an NP or other medical provider. The provider will use their knowledge and medical experience to help the individual attempting to lose weight to create a realistic plan that meets their unique circumstances. What works for some people does not work for others. That is why we have multiple options. Whether it is a weight loss injection or medication, or a diet plan that is made to fit you, you will be excited to see the transfiguration of your body and your self-confidence.

Recently,once weekly high-dose Semaglutide has shown to be an effective solution for patients who are having difficulty losing weight. It now carries a FDA indication as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in overweight or obese adult patients. The New England Journal of Medicine’s publication of the STEP trial revealed more than 50 percent of trial participants lost 15 percent of their body weight, and between 33 to 40 percent
of participants lost 20 percent of their body weight.

ABOUT SEMAGLUTIDE (WEGOVY)
Weight Loss
We all understand the benefits of reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, which lowers the chance of developing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Maintaining a healthy weight also makes us feel more assured and at ease with ourselves. Unfortunately, losing weight is not an easy process for anyone. Many of us have tried extreme diets and exercise only to discover that the results take a while to appear, and that maintaining dietary and exercise adjustments is challenging.
Most people need a little help beyond a clean diet and regular exercise to achieve and maintain weight loss.
When food and exercise alone don’t produce the desired effects, many people turn to supplements like compounded weight loss medications. Dietary and exercise modifications are excellent for your health, but they can be challenging to keep up with and may not lead to immediate or sustained weight loss. The effectiveness of compounded weight loss medications can be increased by combining them with a change in lifestyle. When used as recommended, weight loss pills are safe for both men and women.
Appetite suppression and a raised metabolism are two advantages of custom weight reduction drugs.
- Suppression of appetite can make it simpler to adhere to a diet, particularly a low-calorie one.
- Supplements that speed up metabolism aid in the utilization of food by the body. Include these habits in your weight loss efforts in addition to taking weight-loss medication.
- Keep hydrated. Drink at least as many ounces as you weigh each day. This will keep you satiated and provide your body with the necessary fluids to maintain health. Make sure to drink water solely to acquire your fluids; stay away from sugary and even diet drinks.
- Exercise. You should exercise frequently for both physical and mental wellbeing. It probably won't help you lose weight on its own, but it can help you reduce your calorie intake and build muscle, which burns more calories than fat even while you're at rest.
- A healthy diet Focus on filling yourself up with healthy food, such as lean protein and legumes, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, rather than significantly reducing your calorie intake.
