How medical weight loss works

Medical weight loss uses scientifically backed methods customized to your individual health needs. We begin with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, metabolic rate, and body composition. From there, we design a personalized weight loss plan that may include dietary changes, exercise routines, behavior modification strategies, and, when necessary, treatments like hormone therapy, vitamin injections, or FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. We’ll provide ongoing guidance and regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to keep you on track.

    GLP-1 medications for effective weight loss

    At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to support your weight loss efforts. These medications, initially developed for managing diabetes, have proven effective in helping people lose weight by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and stabilizing blood sugar levels. As FDA-approved injectables, they offer a safe and effective way to achieve and maintain weight loss.

    Semaglutide

    Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that was originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes and promote weight loss. It works by mimicking GLP-1 hormones in the body, which regulate blood sugar, increase insulin production, and slow gastric emptying. This reduces appetite and helps you feel fuller longer, making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and lose weight.

    Tirzepatide

    Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates blood sugar and controls appetite. By activating these receptors, it stimulates insulin secretion, reduces food cravings, and slows down the digestive process. This powerful combination makes Tirzepatide highly effective for weight loss and improving overall metabolic health.

    How much weight can you expect to lose?

    Weight loss results with these medications vary based on factors such as starting weight, adherence to the treatment plan, and individual responses. On average, patients may experience a weight loss of 10% to 15% of their starting body weight within the first few months of treatment. By staying committed to your plan and making healthy lifestyle changes, these results can be maintained and potentially enhanced over time.
