About Our Weight Loss Treatment
Why choose medical weight loss in Virginia Beach? As we get older, life (and our metabolism) seems to slow down, with the body functioning less efficiently than it did in earlier years. This slowdown often results in unwanted weight gain. A healthy weight is an important element of good health. The truth is there is no “one size fits all” solution to permanent healthy weight loss. We believe weight loss is not about willpower or personal choice.

Sustainable weight loss for men and women
At Fountain of You MD, we understand the frustration of trying traditional dieting programs. We understand that weight loss is not just about seeing the pounds reduced. It is also about seeing the lean body mass changes, controlling appetite, increasing energy, improving physical ability and stamina, and keeping the weight off in a healthy way. Implementing these lifestyle plans can also greatly reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome – a specific group of risk factors that are known to enhance the likelihood of Coronary Artery Disease, stroke, and Type II Diabetes.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Shots
GLP-1 weight loss shots, like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide, are revolutionizing weight management by directly targeting hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism. These medications help reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and improve insulin sensitivity, leading to significant and sustainable weight loss. Administered as weekly injections, Tirzepatide and Semaglutide offer effective solutions for individuals struggling to lose weight and keep it off. With consistent use and personalized lifestyle changes, these weight loss shots can help you achieve long-term results, improve overall health, and enhance your quality of life.
How To Self-Inject Weight Loss Shots
What is weight loss shot treatment?
Weight loss shot treatment involves using medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which are administered via injections to help individuals lose weight. These weight loss shots target hormones in the body that regulate hunger and metabolism, leading to a reduction in appetite and increased feelings of fullness. By helping to control cravings and improve insulin sensitivity, weight loss shots offer a powerful solution for those struggling with weight loss.
How do Semaglutide or Tirzepatide weight loss shots work?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide weight loss shots mimic the effects of natural hormones in the body, specifically GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play a crucial role in regulating appetite, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. When administered as weekly injections, these weight loss shots bind to receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal system, slowing gastric emptying and increasing feelings of fullness. This helps reduce hunger, making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide promote not only weight loss but also improve insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes. These injections help you achieve sustainable weight loss by altering the body’s natural hunger and energy regulation.
What is the GLP-1 treatment process?
The GLP-1 treatment process involves weekly weight loss shots like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Upon consultation, your healthcare provider will discuss the most suitable medication and dosing plan, which can vary based on your weight loss goals and health conditions.
For Semaglutide, doses range from 0.25 to 2.4 mg, while Tirzepatide starts with a low dose that gradually increases to minimize side effects. Regular follow-up visits will ensure your progress is on track and adjustments are made as necessary to optimize your results.
