Weight loss

GLP-1's

This class of medication mimics a naturally occurring gut hormone that assists in weight management.

Weight gain is a hormonal issue, not a character flaw. Cortisol, insulin, and thyroid regulate fat accumulation. And as you age, these hormones go out of whack! The message to eat less and move more was proven false decades ago. You literally cannot overeat protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Don’t stop eating, let us help you with hormonal control while you make the lifestyle changes needed slowly over time to remove sugar, processed food, and junk from your diet, which contribute to hormonal imbalances.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide: Advanced Therapies for Diabetes and Weight Management

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are innovative medications that help manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss. Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics the hormone GLP-1 to regulate blood sugar, reduce appetite, and promote satiety, leading to improved glycemic control and significant weight loss. It also lowers the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. Tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, enhances insulin secretion, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite, addressing blood sugar control and weight loss simultaneously. By combining these effects, Tirzepatide offers dual-action benefits, improving glycemic control, inducing weight loss, and potentially reducing cardiovascular risks. Together, these therapies represent groundbreaking options for holistic diabetes and weight management.

Weight Loss Program Overview

Our 90-Day Weight Loss Program is designed to help you achieve sustainable results while cultivating a healthier lifestyle that keeps the weight off long-term. We combine the power of GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) with peptide therapy to regulate appetite, enhance metabolism, build muscle, and improve insulin sensitivity for effective, medically supervised weight loss.

Comprehensive Lab Work for Effective Weight Loss

Understanding the root cause of weight gain is essential for achieving sustainable results. Weight gain often stems from hormonal imbalances, inflammation, poor gut health, or metabolic dysfunction. That’s why lab work plays a critical role in our approach. By evaluating key markers such as thyroid function, sex hormones, lipids, glucose levels, inflammation, cortisol, and cardiovascular health, we gain a complete picture of your metabolic and hormonal state. Based on these insights, we curate a personalized weight loss plan tailored to address your unique needs, ensuring you achieve and maintain your health goals.

Duration

The program spans 90 days, after which you can choose to conclude your journey or continue with us through a monthly membership. As a member, you’ll receive ongoing treatment support, a 10% discount on additional services, 5% off products, and priority booking for appointments. Membership also grants you access to our private Facebook community, where you can exchange ideas, recipes, and experiences with others. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in monthly challenges to win exciting prizes and join our quarterly live meet-and-greet events and exercise bootcamps. Your wellness journey doesn’t end—it evolves!

Non-GLP-1's

These medications work through several pathways, some of which include regulating insulin, decreasing appetite, or causing early fullness.

Non-GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss

At LeanLife Wellness Center, we offer a variety of non-GLP-1 medications as part of our comprehensive weight loss program. These medications are carefully selected to support your weight loss journey, improve metabolic health, and address specific needs. Here's how they work:

1. Naltrexone/Bupropion (Contrave)
This combination medication works by targeting the brain's reward system to reduce cravings and control hunger. It also helps regulate appetite and may improve emotional eating behaviors, making it an effective tool for long-term weight management.

2. MIC Injections (Methionine, Inositol, Choline)
MIC injections support fat metabolism and liver health. These essential nutrients help the body break down and eliminate fat while boosting energy levels, making them a valuable addition to your weight loss journey.

3. Acarbose
Acarbose slows the digestion of carbohydrates, helping to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce post-meal glucose spikes. This process can improve insulin sensitivity and assist in weight loss by controlling cravings for sugary or high-carb foods.

4. Glycyrrhetinic Acid & Aminophylline (Transdermal)
This topical treatment targets stubborn fat by enhancing fat breakdown (lipolysis) in specific areas. It works by stimulating the metabolism in fat cells, making it particularly effective for body contouring.

5. Phentermine/Topiramate (Qsymia)
This combination medication suppresses appetite and enhances satiety, helping you eat less and lose weight. Phentermine stimulates the release of neurotransmitters that control hunger, while Topiramate improves feelings of fullness and may also aid in emotional eating control.

6. Our Power Stack combines four powerful treatments to maximize weight loss and improve your overall metabolic health:

Sermorelin with Glycine: Promotes the breakdown of abdominal fat by stimulating growth hormone production, supporting fat loss and muscle preservation.

Phentermine: Suppresses appetite and offsets potential transient hunger that may result from sermorelin, helping you stay on track with your weight loss goals.

Liraglutide: Slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, and improves your metabolic profile, ensuring a comprehensive approach to sustainable weight management.

MIC Injections (Methionine, Inositol, Choline): Enhances fat metabolism, boosts energy levels, and supports overall metabolic processes.

The Power Stack is designed to target multiple aspects of weight loss, making it a powerful tool for achieving your goals quickly and effectively.

These non-GLP-1 medications are designed to complement your personalized weight loss program, offering a range of solutions to help you achieve sustainable results. Together with lifestyle modifications and expert support, they address the multiple factors influencing weight loss for a healthier, more vibrant you.
