Many people have struggled with weight loss and have probably tried countless diets or exercise programs. Only to lose a few pounds of weight and then put it back on again. You simply need a better approach to weight loss. Our medical weight loss program combines medication, a low-fat, low-carb diet plan, moderate exercise as tolerated, and behavioral modification to produce weight loss. Our mission is to help patients improve their health by achieving and maintaining their goal body weight.
Our team prescribes from a comprehensive list of medications, strictly when appropriate. While every patient is unique, Here are a few, but not limited to some
of the more frequently prescribed medications for metabolic health issues:
Medications
Semaglutide (Injection)
Semaglutide (brand name Ozempic, Wegovy) is a GLP-1 that was previously approved in 2017 to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. In June 2021 Semaglutide was approved for chronic weight management in the treatment of obesity. Semaglutide helps individuals lose weight by increasing insulin secretion and reducing appetite. How much weight can I lose? While taking Semaglutide and used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and good sleep hygiene, it is common for patients to lose 15-20% of their body weight. Individual results may vary.
Mounjaro (Injection)
While currently only FDA-approved for diabetes, this novel medication outperformed semaglutide with respect to weight loss in the SURPASS-2 clinical trial.
Contrave (Oral Medication)
In patients with an emotional eating component to their difficulty losing weight, Contrave can be very helpful. It works specifically in the mesolimbic system of the brain, which is the part of the brain that controls rewards. By blocking the link between food and reward, Contrave often succeeds where other treatments fail.
