Weight Loss Services

At Good Life Family Medicine, we understand that managing weight can be a challenging journey. That’s why we offer two comprehensive solutions using the breakthrough medication, Semaglutide, as well as Lipotropic Injections. Whether you’re looking to achieve your weight loss goals or address type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide may be the answer. If you are looking to boost your metabolism and increase energy, Lipotropic Injections, could be for you.

Lipotropic or Lipo injections are intramuscular injections that contain amino acids and vitamins that help stimulate the breakdown of fat in the body. These ingredients also help boost metabolism and increase energy.  When combined with regular exercise and a low calorie diet, lipo injections can help you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Our lipotropic injections are completely safe and can be given once per week in our clinic.

Semaglutide is a medication initially used to treat type 2 diabetes, and it has now been approved for weight loss as well. Classified as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Semaglutide mimics the actions of a natural hormone called GLP-1. This hormone is released by the intestines in response to food intake. Semaglutide works in several ways to aid in weight loss.

Stimulation of Insulin Release: When you eat, GLP-1 is released, causing the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy or storage.

Inhibition of Glucagon Release: GLP-1 also reduces the secretion of glucagon from the pancreas. Glucagon is responsible for increasing blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver into the bloodstream. By inhibiting glucagon, semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels.

Slowing Gastric Emptying: Semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, resulting in a more gradual digestion and absorption of food. This helps prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar after meals and limits the amount you can eat at one time.

Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide is also used for obesity treatment due to its effect on appetite. By acting on the brain’s appetite center, it reduces hunger and increases satisfaction with smaller meals. This leads to a decrease in calorie intake and subsequent weight loss.

Semaglutide offers a multifaceted approach to weight loss by regulating blood sugar levels and reducing appetite. Its ability to increase insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion, and slow down glucose absorption in the digestive system can help you reach your weight loss goals effectively.

Our experienced healthcare professionals will guide you through the process and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. With Semaglutide, you have the support you need to achieve sustainable weight loss and improve your overall health.

Semaglutide is typically administered as an injectable medication. The frequency of administration depends on the specific formulation and purpose of treatment. Our healthcare professionals will determine the most suitable dosage and schedule for your weight loss journey.

As with any medication, Semaglutide should be prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare professional. Our team at Good Life Family Medicine ensures that you receive the necessary guidance and support throughout your treatment.
