Why is it so important to reach and maintain a healthy weight?

Keeping within a healthy weight range can positively impact your energy levels, joints, and overall wellness. Finding a way to reach and maintain a healthy weight will not only help you feel better every day but also reduce your risks of serious health problems, such as:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Certain cancers
• Kidney disease
• Gallbladder disease
• Sexual dysfunction
• Depression
• Sleep apnea
• Osteoarthritis
• Type 2 diabetes

These are just some of the issues associated with being overweight or obese, and losing weight can help reduce your risk of these and other health concerns. 

What role does semaglutide play in medically supervised weight loss?

Medically supervised weight loss places your health at the center of the process. For some people, a medication called semaglutide can be a helpful tool in dropping excess weight. 

This medication was once prescribed solely to treat type 2 diabetes but was FDA-approved for use in weight loss in 2021. Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone your body produces to signal fullness to your brain. Taking this medication can reduce the urge to overeat or snack between meals, which can assist you in developing a healthier, moderated relationship with food.  

Not everyone is a good candidate for semaglutide, but for those who are, the medication can help them drop as much as 15 percent of their body weight. 

What other treatments can help with weight loss?

Another treatment that can help boost your weight loss efforts is called lipotropic MIC B12 injections. These shots temporarily boost your metabolic function, helping your body burn fat and increasing your energy. 

Vitamin B12 injections are also helpful as a way to boost energy and improve metabolic function. Many people are deficient in this essential nutrient, and there are very few risks associated with vitamin B12 injections. 

Once you reach your weight loss goal, body contouring offers the chance to refine your results and combat stubborn fatty deposits. This noninvasive treatment permanently eliminates a portion of targeted fat, moving you closer to your fitness goals.
