Medical Assisted Weight Management Program
A new generation of medical weight management treatments available at Youthful Solutions.
Here at Youthful Solutions, we provide innovative solutions to help individuals struggling with weight management achieve their goals using two powerful medications:
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. These medications have shown remarkable success in clinical studies, offering effective tools for sustainable weight loss.
Dr. Laurette Smith and her medical team will work with you one on one to create the best medical weight management solution designed for you depending on why you may be struggling.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the hormone GLP-1, playing a crucial role in regulating hunger and food intake. By stimulating GLP-1 receptors, Semaglutide helps reduce appetite and enhances feelings of fullness, while also slowing gastric emptying to prolong the sensation of satiety after eating.
Benefits of Semaglutide:
- Significant weight reduction program.
- Combine with diet and exercise.
- Consistent and safe weight loss over an extended period.
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and other health issues.
- Improved overall health and well-being.
Semaglutide
Clinical Success
In a major study, individuals with a BMI over 30 (without diabetes) treated with Semaglutide and lifestyle modifications experienced an average weight loss of 14.9% over 68 weeks, compared to a 2.4% reduction in the placebo group. Another study found that adding behavioral therapy and a low-calorie diet to Semaglutide treatment led to even greater weight loss.
Candidate Criteria:
- BMI of 30 or higher
- BMI of 27-29.9 with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
Potential Side Effects:
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, and fatigue. More severe side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, and kidney problems.
We will discuss these potential side effects with you before starting treatment.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, suppress appetite, and enhance satiety by slowing down digestion.
Benefits of Tirzepatide:
- Significant weight reduction.
- Improved blood sugar control.
- Enhanced satiety and reduced appetite.
- Potential improvement in cardiovascular health metrics.
Tirzepatide
Clinical Success
Patients using doses of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg experienced average weight reductions of 15%, 19.5%, and 20.9%, respectively. The weight loss is gradual, often noticeable within the first 1-3 months.
Candidate Criteria:
- BMI of 30 or higher
- BMI of 27-29.9 with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
Potential Side Effects:
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, and fatigue. More severe side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, and kidney problems.
We will discuss these potential side effects with you before starting treatment.
