What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a medically supervised program that helps you lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss is tailored to your body’s unique needs. At Fountain of You MD, a team of experts, including physicians, will assess your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals to create a customized plan. This approach often includes a combination of dietary recommendations, exercise routines, and, most importantly, prescription medications that can help accelerate your results.
How do weight loss medications work?
One key component of medical weight loss is the use of prescription medications that are proven to help regulate appetite and improve the body’s ability to process food. These are not one-size-fits-all; instead, they are carefully selected to suit your unique health needs.
At Fountain of You MD, our advanced protocol includes several proven and clinically supervised options:
GLP-1 and GLP-1 Plus GIP Therapies
Our most effective and popular medical weight loss option involves GLP-1 and GLP-1 plus GIP therapies. These medications work by regulating appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and slowing digestion to help you feel full longer. As a result, patients often experience reduced cravings, improved portion control, and steady, sustainable weight reduction over time.
Benefits may include:
-
Decreased appetite and fewer cravings
-
Improved blood sugar and metabolic balance
-
Gradual and consistent fat loss
-
Support for long-term weight management
At Fountain of You MD, all GLP-1 programs are prescribed and supervised by licensed medical professionals. Treatments are compounded by registered pharmacies and customized for each patient’s needs. Many patients use our convenient at-home injection program with regular virtual or in-office follow-ups to ensure safe progress.
Sermorelin (Peptide Therapy)
Sermorelin is a peptide that stimulates your body’s natural production of growth hormone—an essential hormone for healthy metabolism, muscle maintenance, fat loss, and overall vitality. As we age, growth hormone naturally declines, often making it harder to lose fat and keep muscle. By supporting your body’s natural hormone levels, Sermorelin helps you burn stubborn fat, preserve lean muscle, and boost energy.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Low Dose Naltrexone is an innovative therapy that works by modulating appetite, reducing cravings, and supporting balanced metabolic health. LDN may also help with inflammation and mood, further supporting your weight loss journey. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who have struggled with food cravings or have not responded to traditional weight loss approaches.
Tips to lose stubborn fat with weight loss medications
Tip #1: Maintain a balanced diet
Weight loss medications can suppress your appetite, but it’s still essential to provide your body with the nutrients it needs. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables, and avoid highly processed, high-calorie foods.
Tip #2: Prioritize regular exercise
Regular physical activity is a crucial part of successful weight loss. Aim for a combination of cardiovascular exercises and strength training to burn fat and build muscle. Exercise will help you shed pounds, boost your overall energy levels, and improve your mood.
Tip #3: Stay hydrated
Drinking enough water each day helps your body function optimally and can even aid in weight loss. Staying hydrated helps control hunger and supports your metabolism. Make it a goal to drink at least eight glasses of water daily, or even more if you lead an active lifestyle.
Tip #4: Monitor your progress
Keeping track of your weight loss can be incredibly motivating. Regularly monitor your weight, body measurements, and how your clothes fit. This will help you stay accountable and see how far you’ve come, even when the scale doesn’t always reflect your progress.
Tip #5: Consult your medical team
At Fountain of You MD, we emphasize the importance of regular consultations with your healthcare provider. Your medical team will monitor your progress, adjust your medication as needed, and provide ongoing support. Regular check-ins ensure that your weight loss plan stays on track and that you’re achieving optimal results.
