Achieve weight loss that lasts

Traditional weight loss methods often focus only on short-term solutions like dieting and exercise. While these approaches may offer initial success, they frequently neglect the underlying factors that contribute to long-term weight management, such as metabolic health and behavioral patterns. Without addressing these root causes, it’s challenging to maintain weight loss. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine takes a comprehensive approach, providing customized support that ensures long-term success in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

How does medical weight loss work?

Our medical weight loss program integrates evidence-based strategies designed around your unique health profile. We begin with a full assessment, including medical history review, metabolic analysis, and body composition evaluation. Based on this comprehensive understanding, we create a customized plan that may include dietary modifications, exercise routines, behavior changes, and, when appropriate, advanced therapies like hormone therapy, vitamin injections, or FDA-approved medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. We provide ongoing support with regular check-ins to track your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Prescription GLP-1 medications for weight loss

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer prescription GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as part of our comprehensive weight loss solutions. Initially developed to manage diabetes, these medications help promote weight loss by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and regulating blood sugar. These FDA-approved injectables have proven to be both safe and effective for lasting weight loss.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that was first created for managing type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the natural GLP-1 hormone in the body, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and insulin production. In addition to improving glucose control, Semaglutide slows gastric emptying and impacts the brain’s appetite regulation centers, making it easier to reduce food intake and feel full longer, making it highly effective for weight loss.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. It stimulates insulin production, reduces glucagon release, and slows digestion, all while helping to regulate appetite. By addressing these factors, Tirzepatide helps patients manage blood sugar levels, reduce hunger, and promote weight loss. It has been shown to deliver impressive weight loss results for individuals seeking sustainable, long-term solutions.

How much weight can I lose with weight loss medications?

Weight loss results with medications like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide can vary based on factors such as starting weight, adherence to the treatment plan, and individual response. On average, patients may lose 10-15% of their starting body weight within the first few months of treatment. Results are typically seen within weeks to months of beginning the medication, especially when paired with lifestyle changes.

Tips for optimizing weight loss results:

Follow your prescribed medication plan closely
Stick to the personalized diet and exercise plan provided by our team
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day
Get enough restful sleep each night to support your body’s health
Manage stress through relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing
Track your progress and attend regular follow-up appointments
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days
Surround yourself with support from family, friends, or a weight loss group
Focus on balanced meals and avoid skipping meals
Set realistic expectations and remain patient with your progress
