We start by meeting to discuss your goals and review your medical history. We will then check fasting blood work and perform an InBody body composition analysis to assess your overall current health and wellness. At our second visit, your lab work results are reviewed, and we will work together to personalize a plan for you. Plans typically include monthly visits where we monitor your meal plan, exercise regimen, body composition, blood work as needed, and medication adjustments as needed.
Semaglutide/B12 is one of the tools that we can use to help you reach your wellness goals. It is an injection given once weekly underneath the skin, typically in the abdomen or thighs, and is generally well tolerated. Your dose will be personalized throughout the program. Semaglutide/B12 is similar to your naturally occurring GLP-1 that helps with satiety/ hunger control, and improves blood glucose levels. Weight loss varies from person to person, but typical results in studies are 15-20% total body weight loss.
This will be evaluated at your consultation with InBody. Elevated body fat percentage is a key indicator of someone who is a good candidate. We prefer to use this rather than the traditional BMI (body mass index), as body composition is a more accurate indicator of general health.
Contraindications are few but include:
We truly care about you and helping you reach your goals. Our focus is to treat you like we would want to be treated and as a family member. We believe that overweight/ obesity is a chronic medical disease and requires a life-long multifactorial plan that includes nutrition, physical activity, stress management, gut health, hormone balancing, sleep management (aka general well-being), in addition to medication management as appropriate.
