Achieve Sustainable Weight Loss

Take control of your weight and health with Genesis Lifestyle Medicine’s medical weight loss program in Portland, TX. Our customized approach blends advanced medical treatments like Semaglutide with a deep understanding of your health, lifestyle, and goals. With a personalized plan, we help you achieve sustainable weight loss while providing the support you need throughout your journey.

Long-term weight loss success

Many weight loss programs focus on short-term results by emphasizing diet and exercise. While these methods may lead to temporary success, they often fail to address the root causes of weight gain, such as metabolic imbalances, behavioral habits, and overall well-being. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer a comprehensive, medically supervised program that not only helps you lose weight but also equips you to keep it off for the long haul.

How medical weight loss works

Our medical weight loss program is designed to meet your unique health needs through evidence-based strategies. We start with a full health assessment, including a review of your medical history, metabolism, and body composition. This allows us to create a tailored plan that may involve dietary changes, exercise programs, behavior modification, and medical treatments like hormone therapy, vitamin injections, or FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide. We provide continuous support through regular check-ins to ensure your progress stays on track.

Prescription GLP-1 medications for weight loss

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we utilize GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide in our weight loss programs. Originally developed for diabetes management, these medications help with weight loss by regulating blood sugar, reducing appetite, and slowing digestion. These FDA-approved injectables are safe, effective, and have proven to be successful in promoting long-term weight loss.

Semaglutide for weight loss

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist initially created to help regulate blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. By mimicking a natural hormone that controls blood sugar, Semaglutide also slows the emptying of the stomach and acts on the brain’s hunger centers, reducing cravings and promoting satiety. This makes it easier to control food intake and achieve sustained weight loss while improving blood sugar control.

How much weight can I lose with these treatments?

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

Tips to maximize weight loss success:

Follow your prescribed medication schedule as directed by your provider
Stick to the personalized diet and exercise plan created for you by our team
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated
Ensure you get adequate sleep each night to support your health and weight loss
Practice stress management techniques, such as yoga or meditation
Track your progress and attend all follow-up appointments to stay on course
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week
Build a strong support system of friends, family, or weight loss groups
Focus on balanced meals and avoid skipping meals
Be patient and realistic about your weight loss journey
