How can medical weight loss improve my health?

 

If you’re overweight or obese, moving closer to a healthy weight is one of the most powerful things you can do to improve your health and wellness. Some of the medical issues with clear links to being overweight or obese include:

• Type 2 diabetes

• Hypertension

• Heart disease

• Stroke

• Kidney disease

• Thyroid disease

• Sexual dysfunction

What are some of the techniques used in medical weight loss?

 

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide might play a role in your treatment journey, both containing the same active ingredient as name brand drugs like Ozempic® and Mounjaro® These drugs can help control your appetite,  and also improve your metabolic function. 

 

Injectables like vitamin B12 injections and the popular “skinny shots” can support your body at the cellular level as you lose weight. This can provide more energy and help you feel better as you move through the weight loss process. Peptide therapy can also deliver impressive weight loss benefits.
