Have you ever experimented with trendy diets, engaged in fluctuating weight loss patterns, or tried to shed pounds gradually only to return to previous habits?
If you find yourself in this situation often, remember that you are not alone in dealing with it. Feeling discouraged when you don't see the expected results early in your weight loss journey is common. Even if you're fully committed to your exercise routine and diet, not achieving your desired outcomes might tempt you to revert back to unhealthy habits and patterns. You might even encounter what is referred to as "food noise," which is described as persistent and intrusive thoughts about food, even following a satisfying meal. Dealing with these obsessive thoughts can be overwhelming, particularly when you're determined to stick to your weight loss goals. Hormones also play an essential role in losing weight, when hormones are imbalanced and not at optimal levels it can result in increased abdominal fat, decreased muscle mass, tiredness, and other unwanted symptoms.
Now, with the assistance of our Medical Weight Loss program using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide medications, along with optimizing your hormones via hormone replacement therapy (HRT), you can achieve weight loss, sustain it, and potentially eliminate food noise!
You may ask, what exactly are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide medications, and how can they help with weight loss? Semaglutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications known as Incretin mimetics. These drugs work by stimulating the GLP-1 receptor to regulate blood sugar levels, prompting the release of insulin when blood sugar levels rise. This process helps in maintaining optimal blood sugar levels, ensuring that glucose is efficiently utilized for energy. Additionally, they slow down gastric emptying, leading to prolonged satiety, reduced appetite, and signaling to the brain that you are full, which aids in controlling cravings, snacking, and even food noise. Tirzepatide also contains an additional GIP component, another Incretin hormone that plays a crucial role in insulin release during meals.
In addition to medical weight loss, optimizing your hormones through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can also aid you significantly in your weight loss journey.
HRT is a holistic approach utilizing bio-identical hormones that are identical in structure to those naturally produced in your body. Hormones are essential for regulating key bodily functions like metabolism, blood sugar levels, general growth and development, and stress levels. Testosterone, a hormone in both males and females, is essential for bone and muscle strength. When testosterone levels are low or not at optimal levels, you may experience loss of muscle mass and increased fat in your abdominal area. In females, low levels of progesterone and estrogen can cause metabolic changes that lead to heightened appetite. Additionally, these female hormones regulate hunger signals, and an imbalance may make it challenging to perceive hunger cues, potentially leading to overeating. Our clinic strives to optimize your hormone levels using bio-identical hormones, aiming for high normal levels or optimal levels. Achieving these optimal hormone levels is essential for you to feel your best.
