What are weight loss injections?

Studio City residents saw a major shift in obesity care beginning in 2021 with the arrival of GLP-1 weight loss injections. These treatments brought new hope by acknowledging obesity as a metabolic disease, not just a matter of eating habits or willpower. GLP-1 injections have gained recognition for their ability to reduce both food cravings and body weight. Intended for adults who are overweight or obese and dealing with a related health condition, this option supports long-term weight management for the 70% of American adults—including a significant number in Studio City—affected by obesity. The treatment delivers lasting results without the need for drastic lifestyle overhauls.

About GLP-1 Brands: The difference between Ozempic & Wegovy

Residents of Studio City exploring GLP-1 weight loss treatments can choose between two main options: Ozempic and Wegovy, both containing the GLP-1 hormone but intended for different uses. Ozempic was originally approved for Type 2 diabetes treatment but has gained recognition for its additional benefits, including aiding in weight loss and supporting the management of high blood pressure and heart conditions. Wegovy, in contrast, is specifically approved for weight loss, making it the preferred option for individuals whose primary focus is shedding pounds. While both medications differ in their primary applications, they contain the same active GLP-1 hormone, which helps control appetite and regulate weight. Your doctor in Studio City will assess your individual health profile and recommend the appropriate treatment to support your weight loss goals.

About GLP-1/GIP Brands: The difference between Mounjaro & Zepbound

For those interested in advanced weight loss solutions, Mounjaro and Zepbound offer a combination of GLP-1 and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide) to achieve enhanced results. These dual-agonist injections work by targeting two receptors simultaneously, which leads to more pronounced and effective weight loss than single-receptor GLP-1 injections. Zepbound is considered the more potent of the two, with a higher likelihood of producing faster and more substantial results, which can be incredibly beneficial for individuals struggling with significant weight loss.

During your consultation, your doctor will take into account your medical history, weight loss objectives, and personal preferences in order to recommend the most suitable treatment for your specific weight loss journey.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Lifestyle health! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and welcoming office staff who made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is calming and pristine, creating the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The range of wellness services offered is impressive — from facials to more specialized treatments like nutrition counseling, weight loss and wellness coaching. The nurse practitioners are incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to listen to all of my concerns, providing personalized recommendations that truly made a difference. I felt like they genuinely cared about my well-being.

Every aspect of my visit was top-notch, and I left feeling refreshed, balanced, and more in tune with my health. Highly recommend Lifestyle Health to anyone looking for a holistic and luxurious wellness experience. I'll definitely be back!

When I inquired about medications for weight loss I was warmly welcomed by the staff and immediately assisted. There was no pressure of using their services, instead every question I had was answered. The decision was made and I decided to try the terzipitide. I easily needed to lose 25 lbs. I started off at the lowest dose for a month, then with the help you get from the amazing staff (which is invaluable), I’ve slowly gone up in strength of the medication, my last dose was 7.5mg. I’m on my 15th week and honestly I have never seen 27lbs just fall off so effortlessly. It works that’s all I can say, it really works.

I highly recommend Lifestyle Health Services… I’m on my 3 month there and it’s working like a charm. I feel great and so many of my friends can really see a difference. Annie is awesome she always helps me with scheduling , even when I need to change my appointment last minute Annie is always on top of it. Nicole is amazing too, she really asks me questions about my needs how I’m feeling and always has great suggestions that help me get to the results I want. This is the place if you want results and professional, quality service.

When I first started doing research about weight loss shots and medical spas, there was so many sites not willing to be upfront about the cost. Lifestyle health services was the first to layout all out and I appreciated the straightforwardness. I originally told myself that I would go in once a month, ask for my shots in advance to be done at home, but as I got to know the staff I love going in for my weekly appointment. Nurse Nicole is wonderful, very personable and is always ready to answer any questions I might have. The receptionist Annie is the best! She has been most generous with her time and understanding if I've had to change an appointment last minute or even come later in the day. I consider them my ladies! The office is very accommodating and I would and have recommended this office and service to anyone asking how I have lost so much weight this past year.

“I couldn’t be happier with my results! I started Semaglutide on December 14th, 2022 at 234 pounds. As of March 23 2023, I am down 35 pounds with NO exercise! I experienced little to no side effects, the only being lack of Appetite (which is to be expected on Semaglutide). Overall I am very pleased with my results and I can’t wait to see my results in the future.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GLP-1 and how does it help with weight management?

GLP-1 is a hormone that is naturally present in the body, and it plays a key role in regulating both blood sugar and appetite. GLP-1 agonists are medications that replicate the effects of this hormone, helping with weight management by suppressing appetite and supporting weight loss.

Is weight management safe?

Yes, weight management therapies are typically safe and well-tolerated. However, as with any medication, potential side effects can occur. It is important to consult your healthcare provider to review the benefits and risks associated with weight management.

Who is a good candidate for weight management?

Those in Studio City who are overweight or obese and have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone may find weight management helpful. It is also an option for individuals dealing with health conditions like type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

How long does it take to see results with weight management?

While results can vary from person to person, most individuals experience some weight loss within the first few weeks of beginning GLP-1 therapy. The full effects, however, may take several months.

What other weight management strategies should I use alongside therapy?

In addition to therapy, maintaining a nutritious diet and engaging in regular physical activity are key to achieving successful weight management. Your healthcare provider may also suggest other lifestyle adjustments or medications to help you reach your goals.

How do I know if weight management is right for me?

The decision to pursue weight management should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider. They will assess your individual health status, treatment preferences, and weight loss goals to determine whether this therapy is appropriate for you.

Do I have to come in every week for weight loss injections?

No, you don’t need to visit the office every week. Our doctor can conduct a remote consultation and mail you the medication, which is easy to inject yourself. If possible, we recommend coming in for the injections to speed up the weight loss process based on how well you tolerate the medication.
