Medical Weight Loss

Many patients have a difficult time losing weight due to a combination of thyroid, neurotransmitter, adrenal, nutritional and other hormonal issues.

Learn About Our New Game Changing Approach To Weight Loss and Complete Life Style Changes That Can Change Your Health & Life Forever!

Evidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. Healthy weight loss isn't just about a “diet” or “program”. It's about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits.

According to data by Marketdata Enterprises, a market research firm that specializes in tracking niche industries, Americans spend north of $60 billion annually to try to lose pounds, on everything from paying for gym memberships and joining weight-loss programs to drinking diet soda.

Current Physical Activity Guidelines recommend 150 minutes (or about 30 minutes, at least three times a week) of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. Specifically for weight loss purposes, many experts recommend longer durations of exercise – up to 60 minutes per day.

Even modest weight loss can mean huge benefits. The good news is that no matter what your weight loss goal is, even a modest weight loss, such as 5 to 10 percent of your total body weight, is likely to produce health benefits. Improvements in blood pressure is possible, along with blood cholesterol and blood sugars.

Our Two New Game Changing Approach

Our Slim Shot Injection is a relatively new peptide of 16 amino acids that promote metabolic balance. It regulates metabolic functions throughout the body. For instance, it turns glucose into usable energy.

BENEFITS

  • Promotes fatty acid metabolism in the liver
  • Promotes metabolic flexibility and homeostasis
  • Helps regulate mitochondrial energy
  • Protects against age and diet dependent insulin resistance and obesity
  • Helps with weight loss
  • Promotes resistance to metabolic stress
  • Improves exercise capacity
  • Helps prevent osteoporosis
  • Improves glucose regulation
  • Promotes cell differentiation to form osteoblasts

According to study results, this treatment patients run significantly longer and further than untreated patients. What’s more, the older outperformed untreated middle-aged. The results suggest physical re-programming rather than just rejuvenation.

In other words, this peptide seems to increase exercise ability on a cellular level.

While the success of our Semaglutide Injection, a GLP1-peptide, has been spreading like wildfire, but what is it? We're going to break it down for you, and explain how the medication works and how it's prescribed.

Semaglutide is a Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1 This particular peptide hormone is found naturally in the body and produced in the small intestine. It increases the body's ability to produce insulin, inhibits glucagon, and decreases appetite, resulting in healthy and effective weight loss. It is administered as a small subcutaneous weekly injection.

The result is rapid weight loss typically around the 10lb a month range, many lose more. The more weight there is to lose, the faster it comes off. It possibly can plateau if there is only 10lbs left to lose. Once your goal weight is reached, we recommend to stay on the medication for a few more months to help maintain your weight.

The FDA approved brand name is Wegovy , the cost for a one month supply of Wegovy runs between $1500-$2000/month. However, we work with a compounding pharmacy that is able to provide our patients with the generic form (Semaglutide) at a much lower and affordable cost to you.

We want to stress the importance of weight loss as a medical therapy that can help:

lower blood pressure
control blood sugar
relieve pain in arthritic joints
improve the course of scores of medical conditions

You’ll be taught which foods help burn fat and reduce cravings, and which ones you need to avoid. Instruction includes group lectures and nutritional discussions as well as individual consultations.

Exercise is also emphasized as a therapy for burning calories and building lean muscle, which is important for long-term weight control because it increases overall metabolic rate. We give you specific instructions in how to exercise safely and when to exercise for maximum fat-burning benefit. We will also help you stay on track by tailoring a strengthening and aerobic exercise program to fit your lifestyle.

Although achieving and maintaining weight loss without regular exercise and attention to diet is next to impossible, our physician Dr. Stephen Dalton at Lubbock Integrative Medical Associates and our nutritionist will also prescribe personalized targeted nutritional supplements through Aesa Redox Signaling Technology and medical foods that heal from the inside out and help control appetite as well as boost the effects of a lifestyle regimen.

Eating Is Not Automatic

The beating of your heart is automatic. Before you eat something you always have a thought, even if you are not aware of it. If you do not recognize your thoughts or learn how to respond to them, they will lead you astray from your program. Our program will teach you how to talk back to your sabotaging thoughts so you will be prepared for challenges along the way. Most weight loss diets focus only on what you should eat or not eat. They do not include teaching you what you need to know for a lifetime of weight-loss success. Our program gives you those skills. It not only helps you identify nutritious, satisfying foods for an enjoyable diet, but it also teaches you how to stick to your program and stay motivated day after day, no matter what the situation.

You will be taught to change your mind set about healthy eating and stop the cycle of losing and regaining; you will learn the techniques that will enable you to follow your nutritious eating plan in any situation.
