The Difference Between Natural Remedies and Other Weight Loss Treatments
While other weight loss treatments mimic natural hormones in your body, including GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP agonists, natural remedies work directly with your innate hormones. Weight loss injectables are highly-effective at helping you lose weight fast, but can have side effects that negatively impact your journey toward a healthy weight. For instance, the loss of lean muscle and bone density are regular issues.
However, natural remedies can not only be supplements for weight loss, but also mitigate both weight-gain post-treatment, and potential side effects. What’s more, many of the products and strategies we incorporate are easy to find and access, improving your at-home results.
Our Natural Remedy Services
Start promoting weight loss today with our natural remedies. Our licensed medical professionals are eager to help:
Yerba Mate Tea
With the astonishing ability to increase GLP-1 levels by between 40-50%, this herbal remedy is an excellent weight loss supplement. Ferulic acid and other compound within the tea have a modest effect on stimulating GLP-1. For instance, as your microbiome converts the acid into dihydro ferulic acid, you benefit from reduced inflammation, harmful molecules in the body, and prevent the buildup of fatty cells in the arteries.
Lifestyle Med Spa, we recommend drinking one cup of yerba mate tea daily, made from three grams of tea leaves. These leaves are safe to use for up to 12 weeks. Your licensed medical professional can provide personalized recommendations based on your unique body weight and composition.
Allulose Sweetener
Highly useful for weight loss maintenance, this rare sugar doesn’t spike blood glucose levels or insulin secretion after consumption. Instead, it actually helps to promote appetite suppression. When you choose to sweeten with allulose over typical sugars, your GLP-1 levels rise rapidly, as insulin stabilizes and glucagon decreases. Over time, your body will require less insulin to digest food effectively.
To use allulose sweetener most effectively, we recommend creating a meal plan around cooking with it and using it in drinks. At Lifestyle Med Spa, we can help you develop a balanced nutritional plan.
Optimizing Sleep
Your sleep quality and circadian rhythm also play a role in preventing weight gain and promoting healthy weight loss. Sleep deprivation is correlated with impaired GLP-1 responses, making it more difficult for your body to both digest food and reduce cravings. In turn, snacking on more calories throughout the day will likely lead to another night of poor sleep, exacerbating the cycle.
At Lifestyle Med Spa, we prioritize helping you achieve healthy sleeping patterns to improve your body’s metabolic functions. Our team can provide personalized advice on sleep hygiene, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes to help you break an unhealthy sleep cycle, improve energy levels, and meet weight loss goals.
Nutritional Guidance
Many people still believe that a low-fat diet is the way to go, but research is showing otherwise. When participants consumed both low-fat and low-carb (Keto) diets, the latter saw noticeable increases in GLP-1.
Our licensed medical professionals offer nutritional guidance to help you manage calorie intake and a healthy nutrient profile. We’ll work with you to establish an effective Keto diet— a low-carb (20g or less per day), high-protein, fat, and dietary fiber meal plan helps to promote ketosis. This process helps you consume fewer calories, burn body fat more efficiently, and manage chronic health conditions like diabetes.
Collagen Peptides
Usually only discussed as a way to improve skin health, collagen supplements can also be used to boost GLP-1 levels. These supplements are especially useful for supporting weight loss injections, as collagen peptides promote joint health, preserve lean muscle, and improve skin elasticity, keeping skin tight and healthy as your body mass index (BMI) decreases.
At Lifestyle Med Spa, we’ll help you incorporate collagen peptides into your daily routine to support overall health and weight management goals. And, if you need other essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, consider our Vitamin IV Drips.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Long recognized for its health benefits, Apple cider vinegar (ACV) acts as a great weight loss supplement. ACV reduces blood sugar spikes after meals, improves insulin sensitivity, and promotes feelings of fullness, all of which will aid in your weight loss journey. ACV can also help support gut microbiome balance, helping you maintain a healthy weight long-term.
At Lifestyle Med Spa, we recommend incorporating apple cider vinegar into your daily routine, either as a drink diluted in water or as part of a meal plan. Our licensed medical professionals can guide you in using ACV effectively.
