Improved Overall Health

Our approach combines advanced medical treatments like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with a plan tailored to your specific health needs, lifestyle, and goals. With the support of our expert team, we’ll help you achieve long-lasting weight loss and improved overall health.

Achieve sustainable weight loss

Traditional weight loss methods, like strict diets and exercise, can offer initial success but often fail to provide long-term results. These programs typically don’t address the underlying causes of weight gain, such as metabolic health, behavior patterns, and overall well-being. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer a comprehensive program that not only helps you shed pounds but also equips you with the tools to keep the weight off for good.

How medical weight loss works

Our medical weight loss program is grounded in personalized, evidence-based strategies that are designed to meet your individual health needs. We begin with a complete assessment that includes your medical history, body composition, and metabolic rate. With this information, we create a customized plan that could include nutrition counseling, exercise recommendations, behavioral therapy, and medical interventions such as hormone therapy, vitamin injections, and FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Regular follow-ups allow us to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.

Prescription GLP-1 medications for weight loss

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we use prescription GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in our weight loss programs. Initially developed to help manage type 2 diabetes, these medications have shown significant effectiveness in promoting weight loss by regulating blood sugar, reducing hunger, and slowing digestion. These FDA-approved treatments are both safe and effective for long-term weight management.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that was originally created to help regulate blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin production and slows gastric emptying. Semaglutide also helps reduce hunger by acting on the brain’s appetite control centers, making it easier to reduce food intake and achieve consistent weight loss.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. By activating these receptors, it helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulate insulin production, and reduce appetite. Tirzepatide delays stomach emptying, which leads to prolonged feelings of fullness and reduced calorie intake. It has proven to be highly effective for those seeking sustained weight loss and better overall metabolic health.

How much weight can I lose with these treatments?

The amount of weight you can lose with medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide varies depending on factors such as your starting weight, adherence to the treatment plan, and how your body responds to the medication. On average, patients can expect to lose 10% to 15% of their initial body weight within the first few months of treatment. Results are typically noticeable within weeks and are even more effective when combined with lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Tips for maximizing your weight loss success:

  • Follow your medication schedule as prescribed by your healthcare provider
  • Stick to your personalized nutrition and exercise plan for the best results
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated
  • Get adequate rest each night to support your body’s health and recovery
  • Manage stress through techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga
  • Keep track of your progress and attend regular follow-up appointments
  • Engage in moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes on most days
  • Build a support system of family, friends, or weight loss groups
  • Focus on balanced nutrition and avoid skipping meals
  • Be patient with yourself and maintain realistic expectations
