Weight loss refers to a reduction in body weight due to loss of fluid, body fat, or lean mass. It can be achieved through a combination of diet and physical activity, or in some cases, medication, or weight loss surgery.
It is important to note that sustained weight loss requires long-term lifestyle changes, including healthy eating habits and regular exercise. Consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended before starting a weight loss program.
Weight loss oral pills are a type of dietary supplement that can help to reduce body weight. Some weight loss pills work by suppressing appetite, while others increase metabolism or block the absorption of fats or carbohydrates. You may see many advertisements on TV for these weight loss pills, many with dubious claims.
It's important to note that not all weight loss pills are effective or safe, and many of these products can have potential side effects. Additionally, most weight loss pills are not approved by regulatory agencies such as the FDA, so their safety and efficacy may not have been adequately tested. We recommend you do your research on these products and take them with caution. We do not offer them to our patients, nor do we endorse using them.

Weight loss medication and injectables are prescription treatments that can help with rapid weight loss. These medications are FDA approved and work by reducing appetite, increasing metabolism, or blocking the absorption of fats or carbohydrates. Some commonly prescribed weight loss medications include:
Injectables for weight loss, such as liraglutide, work by suppressing appetite and reducing calorie intake. It is important to note that weight loss medication and injectables are only recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have weight-related health problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Weight loss medication and injectables should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider and should not be used as a substitute for healthy lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Additionally, these medications can have potential side effects and may interact with other medications, so it's important to be fully informed of the risks and benefits before starting treatment.
WEGOVY® is classified as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Helps with weight loss for:
Injection: pre-filled, single-dose pen that delivers doses of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, or 2.4 mg (3).
Wegovy (Semaglutide) is a medication that has been shown to cause weight loss as a side effect. However, like all medications, it can also cause side effects. Some common side effects of Wegovy include:
It is important to keep in mind that everyone reacts differently to medications, and not everyone will experience side effects. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should talk to your doctor right away.
Regarding weight loss, it's difficult to predict exactly how much weight a person will lose with Wegovy, as this will vary depending on the individual. However, some people have reported losing 10 pounds or more within the first few months of taking the medication. It's important to remember that weight loss should be viewed as a gradual process, and it's not recommended to expect rapid or substantial weight loss. Additionally, weight loss with Wegovy should be part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
Wegovy (Semaglutide) causes weight loss by increasing the level of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates glucose and appetite, in the body. GLP-1 acts on the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, which can lead to decreased food intake and weight loss. Additionally, Wegovy helps to improve glucose control, which can also contribute to weight loss. However, it is important to note that weight loss with Wegovy should be part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
Achieving long-term weight loss has proven to be an insurmountable challenge for most people. Studies show that while some people can achieve short-term weight loss by combining restrictive calorie intake with exercise, a significant majority gain their weight back within two years or less. Most have not made any changes to their eating habits, lifestyle or how they think about food, so they revert to old habits as soon as they “finish” their “diet.”
We believe that a diet is not something you go “on and off” but instead is a part of your lifestyle, including not only what you eat but also your behaviors and thoughts around food. This comprehensive approach is what distinguishes our program. It not only helps to clear up the confusion around overwhelming and conflicting nutritional information but also equips you with the support, tools, and techniques you need to achieve permanent weight loss. We focus on eating healthfully and making lifestyle and mindset changes to reach and support ideal weight and health long term.
