Semaglutide and B12

At Well House Wellness, Anti-Aging, Hydration Institute, we offer semaglutide, a great option for our clients.

Semaglutide works like a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is a receptor agonist, which is a class of medications designed to mimic the GLP-1 hormone. This hormone occurs naturally in the stomach after eating. Its positive effects include:

• Insulin release
• Inhibiting glucagon
• Slowing down digestion
• Reducing appetite

Semaglutide is FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and medical weight loss.

When used for diabetes, semaglutide can lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk for heart attack, stroke, and even death. It is usually combined with other medications like metformin.

With medical weight loss, semaglutide offers the best results of any medication available. Most people lose between 15% and 20% of their body weight over a year. GLP-1 also helps your brain suppress your appetite. Essentially, it makes your body feel full.

Overall, semaglutide is safe and tolerated well. Side effects can include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain

These side effects tend to be mild and usually go away on their own. All in all, this is an exciting new weight loss treatment. It's effective and safe, and it has long-lasting results. For the best results, we recommend you use semaglutide along with diet and exercise. This can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Tirzepatide and B6

Tirzepatide can help you lose weight as a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. This includes a single molecule to activate both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. These hormones occur naturally and help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.

In general, tirzepatide is FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes. However, it is in a Phase III clinical trial for obesity treatment. So far, tirzepatide shows evidence of being more effective than other GLP-1 receptor agonists, effectively lowering blood sugar to promote medical weight loss. To do this, tirzepatide mimics the effects of GIP and GLP-1. It can:

• Stimulate insulin release
• Inhibit glucagon release
• Slow down food digestion
• Reduce appetite
• Increase fat burning

To work, tirzepatide is administered once a week via injection. Overall, it is well-tolerated and safe. Minor side effects can include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain

Most of the time, these side effects are minor and go away without treatment. If you're interested in exploring tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes or obesity, call Well House Wellness, Anti-Aging, Hydration Institute now.

Low-Dose Naltrexone

Right now, low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is being studied as a possible medical weight loss treatment. Some studies show that LDN can help you lose weight and reduce body fat. It works by:

• Reducing appetite and cravings
• Burning more calories
• Improving insulin sensitivity
• Reducing inflammation

Most studies show that LDN is safe and tolerated well, and the side effects are mild and typically go away on their own without care. Side effects can include:

• Vivid dreams
• Insomnia
• Nausea
• Headache

Currently, LDN is not approved by the FDA for medical weight loss. However, it can be prescribed off-label for this purpose. Here are the key studies to read regarding LDN:

• 2017: LDN helped overweight and obese adults lose significantly more weight than a placebo group
• 2019: LDN helped people with binge eating disorder lose weight and reduce episodes
• 2020: LDN helped people with obesity and insulin resistance lose weight and improve their insulin sensitivity

These studies were all relatively short-term and small. More research is needed, but the early results are promising. To talk about LDN, call Well House Wellness, Anti-Aging, Hydration Institute now!
