MEDICATIONS
Weight loss medications can greatly accelerate your weight loss by improving your ability to burn fat, restore your cell's insulin sensitivity, and cut out your cravings. It is much easier to stay on a diet when you are no longer hungry and the newer drugs greatly reduce your appetite and accelerates fat burning, allowing you to stick to your diet and lose that weight!
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a true game-changer in the medical weight loss field. It works as a GLP-1 agonist, meaning it mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone produced in your body after a meal, which makes you feel full and also enhances your body’s ability to burn calories and fat. Unlike the natural GLP-1 hormone, which quickly disappears, the Semaglutide version lasts for a week. Since it is almost identical to the natural hormone, it has very few side effects. Studies prove that it will typically trigger a 15% loss of body weight over 6 months, and we have found that when combining it with our low carbohydrate and high protein nutrition plan, we see even faster and greater weight loss results.
Side effects are minimal and very manageable with dose adjustments, typically patients experience a lack of appetite or mild nausea, bloating, or feeling “full”. This medication is painlessly injected once per week under the skin and we will teach you how to do the injections at home.
Tirzepatide
Naltrexone/Bupropion
Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 weekly injection medication. Tirzepatide has been shown to provide better weight loss results than even Semaglutide. It has two types of medications which are GLP-1 and a GIP (which is a second hormone). GIP has been shown to help the body break down sugar and fat. Tirzepatide is also known to have fewer side effects.
Tirzepatide will delay your gastric emptying, which will help you feel full longer. It will also suppress the hunger signals in your brain and enhance your body’s insulin secretion/sensitivity.

Naltrexone/bupropion combines an opioid receptor antagonist (naltrexone) with a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (bupropion) in an extended-release tablet. It is labeled as an adjunct to increased physical activity and a reduced-calorie diet for chronic weight management in adults who have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30.
