Medical Weight Loss Treatments
Weight loss can be a rollercoaster ride of successes and setbacks without a specific plan customized to your particular strengths and challenges. At Palm Beach Health Works, we understand the value in having a practical strategy to help you reach your weight loss objectives and maintain your ideal weight for the long-term.
When a healthy diet, smaller portions, reduced caloric intake, and routine exercise fall short of your expectations, our team of medical weight loss experts is ready to help you navigate the setbacks and keep you focused on your weight management goals to achieve the healthy body weight you’ve dreamed of.
Palm Beach Health Works can make that dream a reality with effective weight loss solutions known to produce real results. We offer two of the most popular and successful medical weight loss treatment programs on the market today – Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved weight loss medication that offers long-term weight management benefits by targeting the GLP-1 receptors in your brain. GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide 1) is a hormone produced in your gastrointestinal system when you eat and is responsible for signalling your brain that you are no longer hungry once you have finished your meal. The GLP-1 hormone also helps to slow the length of time it takes for your stomach to digest the food you’ve just consumed.
Semaglutide works in the same way, imitating the GLP-1 hormone and triggering the receptors in the brain to perform the functions that regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and limit your food intake by making your brain believe that you are fully satiated and no longer hungry.
The difference between Semaglutide and the GLP-1 hormone that your body produces naturally is that Semaglutide stays in the body longer than the hormone, when taken as directed. This offers additional benefits for helping you manage your weight beyond triggering the receptors in your brain that control your appetite and food intake as Semaglutide also prompts your body to produce insulin to regulate your glycemic levels and support healthy blood sugar.
Semaglutide FAQs
How Often Do I Need to Take Semaglutide?
After we conduct an initial consultation to determine if Semaglutide is the best option for your weight loss goals, you will begin a once-weekly regimen of injections at a low dose. This will give your body time to adjust to the medication and any minor side effects you may experience in that time. Some clients have reported mild nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting at first. But administering the medication in low doses for the first month often helps decrease the chances of feeling these symptoms.
Do I Still Need to Keep Up with Healthy Diet and Exercise?
Yes, healthy diet and routine exercise are essential components to a Semaglutide weight loss treatment plan. The medication is not designed to do all of the work while you maintain less than healthy lifestyle habits. Diet and exercise are necessary for ensuring that you see the desired results from the medication, eating right and maintaining an active lifestyle will only support you in reaching that goal.
Am I a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?
The FDA recommends that anyone taking Semaglutide must have a body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or higher and be diagnosed with one weight-related health condition such as Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Anyone with a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher who has not been diagnosed with a weight-related health condition may also be a good candidate for the medication. However, clients with a medical history that includes thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndrome, or gallbladder disease should not take Semaglutide. This medication is not recommended for anyone under 18 years of age.
How Fast Does Semaglutide Work?
Each client is different, with goals and challenges that vary one to another. The time it takes for Semaglutide to work for you is tough to determine because so many factors play a role in your overall success for losing the weight and keeping it off.
On average, most clients typically see some initial changes in body weight in as little as four weeks. But there are many individualized factors that contribute to that change in weight, so your results may vary from the average. But as treatment continues, dosages may be adjusted based on your response to the medication and that can have an impact on how quickly you start to see results. Our team will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment to ensure you remain on a safe and effective path throughout your weight loss journey.
Tirzepatide for Weight Loss
Tirzepatide is another medical weight loss option that offers a number of advantages for helping you reach and maintain your ideal body weight. This medication works to suppress your appetite, regulate your body’s insulin production to ensure normal blood sugar, reduce glucose production, and instruct your brain how and where to store fat in the body.
Similar to the effects of Semaglutide, Tirzepatide also imitates the GLP-1 hormone to trigger receptors in the brain that modulate your appetite and inform the brain that you are no longer hungry. But Tirzepatide is formulated to mimic another naturally-occurring hormone produced in the gastrointestinal system, GIP (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide) which regulates blood sugar.
Tirzepatide remains in the body longer than the actual GLP-1 and GIP hormones produced in your gut, so the medication works more effectively and succinctly by offering a range of benefits to limit your food intake and maintain healthy insulin and glucose levels to support your weight management goals.
This weekly treatment option is best-suited for individuals who have grown frustrated with the chronic weight management difficulties that have hampered their efforts to lose the weight that has negatively impacted their overall health and well being. Clients who have been diagnosed as obese or severely overweight may find that Tirzepatide is the medical weight loss solution that breaks the cycle of frustration and empowers them to reach their ideal weight.
Tirzepatide FAQs
How Often Do I Need to Take Tirzepatide?
After an initial consultation to discuss your weight management goals and challenges, our medical weight loss experts will determine if Tirzepatide is right for you. Once-weekly injections at low dosage will be administered to give your body time to adjust to the medication and avoid any side effects you may feel at first.
Typical side effects include mild nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and constipation. But taking Tirzepatide in low doses will help to reduce those symptoms until your body is used to the medication, at which point the dosage can be increased.
Do I Still Need to Keep Up with Healthy Diet and Exercise?
Yes, a healthy diet and routine physical activity will be useful for ensuring that your Tirzepatide weight loss program is fully effective at helping you reach your weight goals. If you don’t maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen while taking Tirzepatide, this will only hinder your weight loss efforts and slow your progress.
Am I a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?
Tirzepatide is FDA approved as an effective weight loss medication is prescribed to clients who have been classified as obese or severely overweight and diagnosed with one or more weight-related medical issues such as Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. FDA guidelines recommend Tirzepatide for individuals with a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher or anyone categorized as overweight with a body mass index of 27 kg/m2. Tirzepatide is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.
How Long Does Tirzepatide Take to Work?
Since every client has varying goals and barriers to success, the efficacy time for Tirzepatide is different for everybody. But in many instances, Tirzepatide can start to have an impact on your weight loss objectives after the very first injection and that immediate effect can be dependent on a variety of contributing factors including lifestyle routines, age, caloric intake, and any prescriptions that the individual is taking at the same time.
The body’s adjustment period to the medication can also have an effect on how long it takes to work and, unlike Semaglutide, there is no average efficacy time for most clients.
Establish Realistic Expectations for Success
It’s important to understand that weight loss does not happen overnight. These weight loss programs are designed to be effective through constant monitoring and dosing management to get the best results while making your health and wellness a priority.
Many clients want to change their lives and improve their health by losing the body weight that has been negatively impacting them. These medications can have a significant effect on helping you reach your weight loss goals but the treatment regimens with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide require patience as your body acclimates to the drug. If you go into this treatment plan with that in mind, you have a higher likelihood of success.
Yes, it’s true that some clients have experienced quick results from the start but this is not the norm and some clients may find it takes longer to see a reduction in appetite and a change in weight. This is normal and should be expected, it just means that your body is taking longer to adjust to the medication and this is necessary for achieving your desired results.
