When Diet and Exercise Are Simply Not Enough
While diet and exercise are critical components of any weight loss plan, they are often insufficient for achieving long-term success. Traditional weight loss methods can fail due to metabolic adaptations that slow down progress and lead to plateaus. Additionally, factors like hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and appetite regulation can make it difficult to lose weight and keep it off. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Lakewood, we understand these challenges and offer medically supervised weight loss programs that address the underlying causes, ensuring sustainable results.
Our Weight Loss Program Includes
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a hormone in your body responsible for regulating appetite and food intake. By enhancing the feeling of fullness and slowing gastric emptying, Semaglutide helps reduce caloric intake, leading to significant weight loss. It also improves insulin sensitivity, which can be beneficial for those with insulin resistance.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it targets two key hormones involved in glucose and energy regulation. This not only helps control blood sugar levels but also suppresses appetite and enhances energy expenditure. As a result, Tirzepatide promotes substantial weight loss, particularly in those who have struggled with traditional methods.
Phentermine
Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine that stimulates the central nervous system to suppress appetite. By increasing the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that signals a fight-or-flight response, Phentermine reduces hunger and increases energy expenditure. It is most effective when used short-term and with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
Tenuate
Tenuate, also known as diethylpropion, is another appetite suppressant that stimulates the central nervous system. It increases levels of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, reducing hunger signals and helping you eat less. Tenuate is particularly useful for kickstarting weight loss in individuals who need extra help controlling their appetite.
Bontril
Bontril, or phendimetrazine, is similar to Phentermine and Tenuate in its action as an appetite suppressant. It works by stimulating the central nervous system, increasing norepinephrine levels, and reducing hunger. Bontril is typically prescribed for short-term use and in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program to assist with weight loss.
Optilean
Optilean is a lipotropic injection that combines several vitamins and amino acids known for their fat-burning and metabolism-boosting properties. It supports weight loss by enhancing energy levels, reducing cravings, and promoting fat oxidation. Optilean is often used as part of a holistic weight management plan to complement dietary and exercise efforts.
B-Lean
B-Lean is a formulation of B vitamins and other essential nutrients that support metabolism and energy production. By ensuring your body has the nutrients it needs to efficiently convert food into energy, B-Lean helps boost metabolic rate and supports weight loss. It's ideal for those who may have nutrient deficiencies that contribute to weight gain or sluggish metabolism.
B-12
Vitamin B-12 is crucial for energy production and metabolic function. A deficiency in B-12 can lead to fatigue and a slowed metabolism, which can hinder weight loss efforts. We offer vitamin B-12 injections to help ensure your body has the energy it needs to burn calories efficiently, boost metabolism, and support your overall weight loss goals.
