At Elevate Medical Center, we understand that weight loss is not just about shedding pounds; it's about reclaiming your health and enhancing your quality of life. Our comprehensive Medical Weight Loss Program is designed to support you every step of the way, providing personalized care and proven treatments that yield real results. Here's what you can expect from our program:
Thorough Lab Work and Medical History
Before embarking on your weight loss journey, our team conducts thorough lab work and a detailed review of your medical history. Your initial lab work includes complete blood count, complete metabolic panel, liver function tests, lipid panel, thyroid hormone panel, and your A1c. This initial step is crucial for understanding your unique health profile and any underlying conditions that might affect your weight loss. By gathering this information, we can create a customized plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. These labs are completed every three months as you continue with our medical weight loss program to continue monitoring your health and customizing the program for you as needed.
Nutrition and Fitness Counseling
Proper nutrition and regular exercise are foundational to any successful weight loss program. At Elevate Medical Center, our expert team works with you to develop sustainable eating habits and an effective exercise routine. We provide practical advice and personalized meal plans that fit your lifestyle, ensuring you receive the nutrients your body needs while promoting weight loss.
Weekly Visits and Dosing
Our program includes weekly visits to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. During these visits, we provide the appropriate dosage of your chosen weight loss medication and address any questions or concerns you may have. This regular interaction ensures that you stay on track and receive continuous support throughout your journey.
24/7 Support
Weight loss can be challenging, and having access to support whenever you need it can make a significant difference. Elevate Medical Center offers 24/7 support to address any questions or concerns you may have outside of your scheduled visits. Our dedicated team is always available to provide guidance, encouragement, and assistance whenever you need it. We also provide support with side effects that may arise, primarily gastrointestinal symptoms. You can correct these symptoms with alternative solutions, such as vitamin injections, IV hydration therapy, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Two Effective Weight Loss Options: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
We offer two cutting-edge options for medical weight loss: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Both medications have been shown to produce significant results, but they work in slightly different ways.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. By mimicking the effects of the GLP-1 hormone, it slows gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing your overall food intake.
Dosing Requirements:
Semaglutide is typically administered once a week via subcutaneous injection. The dosage starts at a lower level and gradually increases over several weeks to minimize side effects and allow your body to adjust.
Weight Loss Results:
On average, patients using Semaglutide have seen a weight loss of approximately 10-15% of their initial body weight within three months. The medication is most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and increased physical activity.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual-action drug that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, enhancing its effects on appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. This dual mechanism helps reduce food intake and improve insulin sensitivity, making it an effective tool for weight loss.
Dosing Requirements:
Tirzepatide is also administered once a week via subcutaneous injection. The dosing regimen typically starts low and is gradually increased based on tolerance and effectiveness.
Weight Loss Results:
Patients using Tirzepatide have experienced impressive weight loss results, with an average reduction of 15-20% of their initial body weight within three months. As with Semaglutide, optimal results are achieved when the medication is paired with dietary and exercise modifications.
