Semaglutide—it’s everywhere these days, right? And when you scroll through social media or watch the news, it’s easy to think that by taking a weekly shot, the weight will fall off, and you’ll be healthy forever.
But as you probably already know, there’s no magic pill (or shot) to achieve long-term health and wellness.
Yes, semaglutide is a breakthrough medicine for weight loss. However, it’s just one part of our Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program.
Because we take a functional medicine approach, we know each person is unique. What works for you may not work for someone else, and vice versa.
Many things can be linked to weight loss resistance, including:
- Insulin resistance
- Hormonal imbalances
- Inflammation
- Gut health imbalance
- Toxic burden
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Stress and mental health
When we create your personalized weight loss program, we consider genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and environment.
Our goal is to find out why your body is holding onto excess weight. To do this, we perform comprehensive lab testing.
The Power of Lab Testing in our Weight Loss Program
Lab testing is the foundation of our weight loss program. By analyzing a wide range of biomarkers, we can uncover the specific imbalances and deficiencies that are unique to you.
As part of our Semaglutide Weight Loss Program, we perform the following lab tests:
- CardioIQ Insulin Resistance Panel with Score
- CBC (complete blood count)
- CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel)
- Hemoglobin A1C
- Lipids (cholesterol)
Armed with these insights, we can create a weight loss plan tailored to you. Plus, after you complete your program, we take another series of tests to see if there’s anything else we need to do to ensure your long-term health and wellness.
Guidance, Support, and Accountability
Our 90-day Semaglutide Weight Loss Program includes three online sessions with a health coach. These sessions are vital to keep you on track. They also address any challenges you may face along the way — and we all have those!
Your health coach will provide guidance, support, and accountability. By working with a health coach, you don’t just lose weight; you have the tools to keep it off.
Here’s how having the right tools can make all the difference:
- Diet: While no food is off-limits, your coach can help you with dietary recommendations that complement the action of semaglutide, focusing on nourishing the body and stabilizing blood sugar levels.
- Exercise: Specific exercises that fit your physical capabilities and preferences can enhance the effect of semaglutide, boosting metabolism and increasing muscle mass.
- Stress Management: Since stress can lead to weight gain, managing stress through techniques like meditation, yoga, or counseling can improve the overall effectiveness of your weight loss plan.
- Sleep Optimization: Good sleep is crucial for weight loss. A functional medicine approach can help you develop habits that improve sleep quality, which can make semaglutide more effective.
