If you want to declare victory in your battle against the bulge, read on to learn about some exciting new weight loss tools we have in our arsenal.
In 2021, the FDA approved a new drug for chronic weight management called semaglutide and we now offer it here as part of our medically supervised weight loss programs.
Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which targets areas of your brain that regulate appetite and how much food you eat.
Semaglutide is administered through weekly injections — we start you off and show you how and then you continue the injections on your own.
To give you an idea about how effective semaglutide is, a large-scale trial found that people who took the drug lost an average of 12.4% of their starting body weight after 68 weeks.
With semaglutide, we’re not only helping our patients to lose meaningful weight, we’re helping them to improve their health by reversing serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
In addition to our exciting semaglutide injections,w e also offer weight loss support treatment that provides your body with the tools it needs to shed weight and keep it off. These treatments include:
Outside of these support tools, we offer ongoing weight loss support through nutritional counseling and exercise recommendations.
The bottom line is we’re invested in your success and we want to make sure that you have access to weight loss tools that really make a difference. Not only do we offer a wide array of resources, we tailor or combine them so that they meet your unique goals and circumstances.
If you want to get off the merry-go-round of ineffective weight loss programs and get on the road to sustainable and substantial weight loss, please contact our office in Bentonville, Arkansas, to set up an appointment.
