The popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs have been all the rage in recent years and continue to be a popular addition to overall wellness plans. Pro Health has a variety of weight-loss treatments to choose from and knowledgeable nurse practitioners to assist every step of the way. Our experts don’t just help patients lose weight, they help them keep it off long-term. Here are some of the proven weight-loss solutions Pro Health provides.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a weekly GLP-1 injection. It contains GLP-1 agonist components that mimic the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates blood sugar, digestion and appetite while helping the body produce more insulin, slow digestion and lower the amount of sugar the liver produces. In addition to weight loss, Semaglutide can also improve lipid disorders and fatty liver disease, as well as reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease.
Tirzepatide
Like Semglutide, Tirzepatide is a weekly GLP-1 injection that contains GLP-1 agonist components. While it is very similar to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide is associated with significantly greater weight loss and fewer gastrointestinal side effects; however, it is more costly. Every patient responds differently, so just because one person has minimal or no side effects with Tirzepatide, doesn’t mean everyone will. Pro Health’s trusted team of nurse practitioners can help determine if Tirzepatide is the best option for you.
Phentermine
For those who aren’t a fan of injections, Phentermine is a daily stimulant taken in pill form and is one of the most prescribed weight-loss medications. This option works as an appetite suppressant, making it easier for patients to maintain a calorie-controlled diet. Side effects can include faster heart rate, sleeplessness, nervousness and constipation, so it might not be ideal for everyone. Additionally, it’s not the best option for those with heart disease, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid or glaucoma. Pro Health patients who are 65 or older do not qualify for Phentermine. Like with every weight-loss treatment option, our team runs tests and conducts consultations to ensure you understand your options fully.
LipoStat
LipoStat is a weekly injection containing vitamin B12. It is designed to increase the body’s ability to lose fat and boost energy by enhancing metabolic processes. LipoStat’s formula also contains essential nutrients and amino acids – like Methionine, Inositol and Choline – your body needs, and targets the breakdown of fats and sugar, which improves energy conversion and your metabolism. Bonus – this shot is included in the free weekly shots all Pro Health members receive.
