What are weight loss Injections?

In 2021, revolutionary developments in weight loss treatments came to light, particularly with the approval of GLP-1 injection therapies. These medications have been validated through rigorous scientific studies that confirm their ability to promote weight loss and address issues such as compulsive eating patterns. This treatment redefines obesity as a long-term metabolic illness, moving away from the outdated notion that it can be controlled by lifestyle changes alone. GLP-1 is prescribed for adults with a body weight above the healthy range who also have at least one related medical concern. It is now commonly used in the ongoing care of the 70 percent of adults in the U.S. who are either overweight or obese.

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

Ozempic and Wegovy are both administered via injection and contain the GLP-1 hormone, which plays a significant role in treating various conditions. Ozempic received its original approval for controlling Type 2 diabetes and has also been found to help manage other medical issues, including elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular concerns. Wegovy was repurposed and formally approved for use in weight management. Even though they serve different primary functions, both medications rely on the same molecular formula. Your doctor will carefully assess your condition and decide on the right dosage during your consultation.

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

Mounjaro and Zepbound are injectable treatments that include both GLP-1 and GIP hormones, designed to work together in reducing appetite and supporting weight loss. Unlike typical GLP-1 medications, which act on a single receptor, these options are dual-agonists that activate two hormone receptors at once. This leads to stronger weight loss effects, with Zepbound generally considered to be the more powerful choice between the two.

At your consultation, your doctor will take time to understand your personal health journey and objectives before prescribing the solution that best aligns with your needs.

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?
