Obesity is a Disease, Not a Choice. We get it—losing weight is tough, and sometimes diet and exercise alone just don't cut it. We're here to offer additional weight loss options that can help you achieve and maintain your goals. Remember, it’s always best to talk to the doctor to find the right path for you!
Understanding Obesity
Being overweight or obese isn't just about lifestyle choices—it can be influenced by genetics, environment, metabolism, or hormones. That's why we take a personalized approach to weight loss. Even shedding just 5-10% of your body weight can significantly lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Our Weight Loss Options:
Lipo-B (MIC) Injection
- What's in it? Vitamin B12 and Lipotropic Amino Acids.
- How does it help? This combo helps your liver work more efficiently aiding in fat removal, boost your metabolism and increase your overall energy. If you're deficient in essential vitamins, losing weight can be even tougher—these injections can give you the boost you need.
- Benefits: Speeds up metabolism, makes weight loss easier to maintain, lowers cholesterol, boosts energy, and enhances overall wellness.
- Schedule: Weekly injections for 8-12 weeks.
GLP-1 Medications (Glucagon Like Peptide-1)
- How do they work? These FDA-approved pen injectors mimic a hormone that targets your brain's appetite regulation area.
- Options:
- GLP1's: Self-administered injection for chronic weight management in adults with obesity. Studies show it can help you lose up to 15% of your body weight when combined with diet and exercise.
- Requirements: Over 18, BMI of 30+, or BMI of 27+ with a weight-related medical condition (like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol).

The FDA has approved several GLP-1 agonists for weight loss in people with obesity who do not have diabetes. - Examples of GLP-1 medications:
Some common examples include Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic), Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) Saxenda: A daily subcutaneous injection, originally for treating Type 2 diabetes, now FDA-approved for weight management.
