    Medication for Weight Loss

    Many people assume weight loss medication is a “quick fix,” but that’s not really true. Medication-assisted weight loss can be a powerful support system for some people, but it’s essential to have realistic expectations and understand it’s one piece of a larger puzzle. Weight loss medications are a valuable tool within a comprehensive program, but they are not standalone solutions.

    Different medications act in various ways. Some help control appetite, boost metabolism, or reduce how much fat your body absorbs. They tend to work best when combined with healthy eating and lifestyle changes. It can help you feel less hungry or provide an energy boost to make exercise easier, but it won’t undo unhealthy habits.

    Some of the standard weight loss medications we offer are:

    • Semaglutide
    • Liraglutide
    • Tirzepatide
    • Phentermine
    • Benzphetamine
    • Phendimetrazine
    • Bupropion
    • Diethylpropion
    • Topiramate
    • Orlistat

    These medications may be considered if diet and lifestyle changes alone haven’t been sufficient. Healthcare providers should assess your individual health factors before prescribing medication for weight loss.

    Fueling Your Body for Success with a Nutritious Diet

    Restrictive diets that leave you feeling hungry and deprived aren’t sustainable and can even undermine your overall health. We believe in nourishing your body with delicious, whole foods that support your weight loss journey. We’ll equip you with the tools you need to succeed; after all, healthy eating doesn’t mean sacrificing taste!

    Diets we recommend include:

    • Intermittent Fasting: Focuses on cycling between periods of eating and fasting, rather than restricting specific food types.
    • Mediterranean: Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (like olive oil), fish, and moderate amounts of poultry and dairy; red meat and processed foods are limited.
    • Keto: A very-low-carb, high-fat diet designed to push the body into ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.
    • South Beach: A phased diet starting with a strict low-carb phase, gradually reintroducing more carbs with a focus on healthy choices and portion control.

    While calories are important, they’re not the whole story. A personalized, nutritious diet is the cornerstone of sustainable weight loss. It’s about fueling your body, not depriving it, so you can feel your best while achieving your goals. We focus on balanced diets that prioritize nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These foods help you feel satisfied and energized so you can continue your journey towards your weight goals.

    Lifestyle Adjustments for Sustainable Change

    Successful weight loss isn’t just about what you eat – it’s about how you live. Your overall lifestyle plays a significant role in your weight loss journey. That’s why we encourage you to integrate sustainable lifestyle shifts that support your weight goals, like getting regular exercise and prioritizing quality sleep.

    Exercise offers countless benefits, from boosting your metabolism to improving mood and sleep. The key is to find activities you enjoy and that fit seamlessly into your routine. Whether it’s brisk walks, yoga classes, or strength training, consistency is key.

    Chronic stress can sabotage weight loss efforts. It can increase cravings for unhealthy foods and disrupt sleep patterns. Explore stress management techniques like mindfulness practices, deep breathing, or by finding healthy outlets for stress that work for you.

    Sleep is essential for weight regulation. When you’re sleep-deprived, your body produces more stress hormones and less of the hormones that control hunger and fullness. Develop a personal sleep hygiene routine so you can experience the restorative power of quality rest.

    The Hormonal Factor: HRT & Weight Loss

    Hormonal imbalances can be a major obstacle to weight loss, especially for women. Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, and others can affect metabolism, appetite, and where your body stores fat. 

    A hormonal imbalance can happen to women at any age. There are some stages of life where hormonal shifts are especially common, like after pregnancy or during menopause. Other conditions, like thyroid disorders, can also throw your hormones off balance.

    Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be recommended to address specific imbalances. When used appropriately, HRT can help manage troublesome hormonal symptoms, including weight changes, and potentially improve your overall health.

    We offer hormone assessment and treatment options in combination to alleviate symptoms of low estrogen and other hormones, which could be preventing you from losing weight. An assessment can accurately determine your hormone levels to see if HRT is right for you.
