Our program combines advanced medical interventions like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with a customized approach that considers your unique health conditions, lifestyle, and personal goals. With our personalized support, you’ll follow a tailored plan to achieve sustainable and long-term weight loss.

Achieve lasting weight loss

Many conventional weight loss strategies focus on short-term fixes like dieting and exercise, which may help with initial weight loss but often fall short of long-term success. These methods tend to overlook the deeper factors that affect weight gain, such as metabolism, behavior, and overall health. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we focus on a comprehensive, medically supervised approach that helps you not only lose weight but also maintain those results long term.

How medical weight loss works

Our medical weight loss program is grounded in evidence-based strategies that are tailored to meet your specific needs. We begin with a complete assessment, including a review of your medical history, metabolic rate, and body composition. Based on this, we develop a customized plan that may include nutritional guidance, exercise routines, behavioral changes, and medical treatments such as hormone therapy, vitamin boosters, or FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Ongoing monitoring and regular follow-ups ensure that you stay on track and achieve your weight loss goals.

Prescription GLP-1 medications for weight loss

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we incorporate GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide into our weight loss programs. Originally developed to treat diabetes, these medications are now FDA-approved for weight loss due to their effectiveness in controlling appetite, regulating blood sugar, and slowing digestion. These injectables offer a safe and effective solution for patients seeking long-term weight loss.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that was initially designed to manage blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the natural GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate insulin production and blood sugar levels. Additionally, Semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach and reduces appetite by acting on the brain’s hunger centers, making it easier to control food intake and lose weight.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors to regulate blood sugar and reduce hunger. It enhances insulin secretion, decreases glucagon release, and delays gastric emptying, promoting feelings of fullness and helping control calorie intake. Tirzepatide has proven to be highly effective in promoting weight loss while improving overall metabolic health.

How much weight can I lose with these medications?

The amount of weight you can lose with medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide depends on several factors, including your starting weight, adherence to the treatment plan, and how your body responds to the medication. On average, patients may lose 10% to 15% of their initial body weight within the first few months of treatment. Results are often noticeable within the first few weeks, especially when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

Tips for maximizing your weight loss success:

  • Follow your medication plan as prescribed by your provider
  • Adhere to the customized diet and exercise plan provided by our team
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day
  • Ensure you get enough restful sleep each night to support your health
  • Manage stress through techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing
  • Track your progress and attend all follow-up appointments
  • Engage in moderate exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week
  • Build a supportive network of friends, family, or weight loss groups
  • Focus on balanced meals and avoid skipping meals
  • Be patient and realistic with your weight loss journey
