Achieve Lasting Weight Loss

Start your personalized weight loss journey with Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Dunn, NC. Our medical weight loss program integrates cutting-edge treatments with a thorough understanding of your health, lifestyle, and objectives to craft a tailored approach for sustainable weight loss.

Many weight loss programs emphasize quick fixes through diet and exercise but fail to address the underlying issues contributing to weight gain. These programs often miss crucial factors such as metabolic health, behavioral patterns, and emotional well-being. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we provide a holistic approach that targets the root causes of weight challenges and offers customized support for enduring, successful results.

How does medical weight loss work?

Medical weight loss employs evidence-based methods customized to your individual health profile. We begin with an in-depth assessment, including your medical history, metabolism, and body composition. From this, we develop personalized plans that incorporate dietary changes, exercise regimens, behavior management techniques, and, if needed, treatments such as hormone therapy, vitamin injections, or FDA-approved medications. We also schedule regular follow-ups to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as necessary.

Key components of our weight loss program:

Comprehensive review of your medical history, metabolism, and body composition
Tailored weight loss strategies to address your unique health needs and goals
Continuous support and guidance from our expert team
Dietary and exercise adjustments, along with strategies for behavioral change
Options including hormone therapy and vitamin injections
FDA-approved medications
Routine check-ins to assess progress and make necessary modifications

GLP-1 medications for effective weight loss

Genesis Lifestyle Medicine provides GLP-1 medications to support weight loss. Originally developed for diabetes management, these medications have proven effective in reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and regulating blood sugar levels. As FDA-approved injectables, they offer a safe and effective means for weight management.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used to manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss. By imitating GLP-1 hormones, it regulates blood sugar, enhances insulin production, reduces glucagon levels, and slows gastric emptying. This helps decrease appetite and promotes a feeling of fullness, facilitating weight loss and calorie control.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual-action GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar and curb appetite. By activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, it encourages insulin secretion, slows stomach emptying, and minimizes food cravings, making it highly effective for weight loss and metabolic health improvement.

Who can benefit from medical weight loss?

Individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 and above with associated health issues
Those who struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
Individuals seeking a thorough, medically supervised weight loss approach
People with obesity-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea
Those ready to make lifestyle changes for long-term success
Individuals interested in exploring medical options for weight management
People needing ongoing support and expert advice throughout their weight loss journey

How much weight can you lose?

The amount of weight loss with these medications can vary based on factors such as initial weight, adherence to treatment, and individual response. Most patients can expect to lose 10% to 15% of their initial body weight within a few months. With consistent use and healthy lifestyle practices, these results can be maintained and potentially enhanced over time.

Tips for maximizing weight loss:

Adhere to your prescribed medication and treatment plan
Follow a balanced diet rich in nutritious foods
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
Engage in regular physical activity, including both strength training and cardio
Ensure adequate sleep and manage stress levels
Track your progress and make adjustments with your provider’s guidance
Keep connected with support systems to stay motivated
Focus on portion control and limit highly processed foods
