Achieving Sustainable Weight Loss

Traditional weight loss programs often emphasize short-term fixes like extreme dieting or intense exercise but fail to address the underlying causes of weight gain. While these methods may yield temporary results, they often overlook crucial factors like metabolism, behavioral habits, and overall health. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we take a comprehensive approach to weight loss, focusing on long-term success by providing medically supervised care that’s personalized for each individual.

Our medical weight loss program uses evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs. We start with a complete evaluation of your medical history, metabolism, and body composition. Based on this assessment, we create a customized plan that may include nutrition counseling, exercise guidance, behavior modification techniques, and medical treatments such as hormone therapy or FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Regular check-ins ensure that your progress is tracked, and any adjustments needed are made to help you achieve your goals.

Prescription GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer prescription GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as part of our comprehensive weight loss program. Originally developed for the management of diabetes, these medications have been shown to help individuals lose weight by regulating blood sugar, reducing appetite, and slowing digestion. These FDA-approved injectables are safe and effective options for achieving significant weight loss.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that was initially designed to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. By mimicking the action of the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, Semaglutide helps regulate insulin, reduce appetite, and slow the emptying of the stomach. This combination of effects helps reduce food intake and promotes sustained weight loss, while also supporting better blood sugar control.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. It works by enhancing insulin production, reducing glucagon secretion, and delaying the rate at which the stomach empties. These effects lead to increased feelings of fullness, reduced calorie intake, and better regulation of blood sugar levels. Tirzepatide has been proven to help individuals achieve significant and sustained weight loss, making it an excellent option for long-term weight management.

How Much Weight Can I Lose with These Treatments?

Weight loss results with medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide vary depending on factors such as your starting weight, adherence to the treatment plan, and how your body responds to the medication. On average, patients may lose between 10% and 15% of their initial body weight within the first few months of treatment. Results are typically visible within the first few weeks, especially when paired with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

Tips to Maximize Your Weight Loss Success:

Follow your prescribed medication regimen as directed by your provider
Adhere to your personalized nutrition and exercise plan for the best outcomes
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day
Ensure you get enough restful sleep each night to support overall health
Practice stress management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga
Track your progress and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week
Surround yourself with supportive friends, family, or a weight loss group
Focus on balanced nutrition and avoid skipping meals
Stay patient and maintain realistic expectations about your weight loss journey
