Weight Loss Q&A

How can weight loss improve my overall health and wellness?

If you’re significantly overweight, shedding excess pounds is important. Extensive research supports a link between being overweight or obese and elevated risk for numerous serious health issues.

Some of the health problems you might encounter if you are overweight or obese include:

Heart disease
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Gallbladder disease
Kidney disease
Osteoarthritis
Sleep apnea
Dementia
Pregnancy complications
Depression

This is not a comprehensive list by any means. When you’re significantly overweight, virtually every organ and system in your body is negatively affected.

What role does medication play in medically supervised weight loss?

Medication can help you reach your weight loss goals, especially if you’ve tried to lose weight through diet and exercise and failed to achieve lasting success. Semaglutide is one of the most commonly used medications for weight loss.

Semaglutide works by targeting a part of your brain that regulates appetite.The drug is formulated to closely resemble a hormone called incretin that your body produces naturally.

The medication will help you feel fuller when eating. It also controls your appetite, which helps you stick to healthy portion sizes and avoid unhealthy snacking between meals. In short, semaglutide helps you make the choices that support a lifetime of healthy weight management.

Where can I get weight loss medications?

There are several semaglutide medications to choose from. Your provider will help you determine which option is the right fit for your needs. It’s important to share the full details of your personal and medical health history, as semaglutide is not right for everyone.

The team at Calvary Medical Clinic can prescribe semaglutide and send it to your chosen pharmacy for fulfillment, or administer it during an office visit.

The practice also offers lipotropic injections in-office. These shots deliver a powerful boost of vitamin B12 and other nutrients that support weight loss.

How long will I need professional weight loss support?

Everyone has a unique weight loss journey. Your path depends on a number of factors, including how much weight you hope to lose, any chronic health conditions you have, and how well your body responds to medication and lifestyle changes.

No matter how long it takes, you’ll have the full guidance and support of the team of experts at Calvary Medical Clinic as you move through the process. When you’re ready to learn more, call or click to schedule a consultation.
