A New Generation of Weight Loss Treatments;

Don't let your weight goals pass you by!

A New Generation of Meds with Health Benefits Beyond Weight Loss

Previous generations of weight loss meds often offered long term negative consequences with few results; but now, a new medication called the "GLP-1" can offer significant health benefits that extend far beyond weight loss with excellent results. Studies have shown remarkable improvements for many patients in blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar control, heart disease & stroke reduction risk, as well as reduction of fatty liver disease & type 2 diabetes. This makes GLP-1s a superior choice for weight loss compared to traditional weight loss medications.

Who Qualifies for These Medications?

Most patients who are overweight with a BMI of greater then 30 or a BMI of >28 if there are other health conditions.

But wait, Aren't these super expensive?

 Yes! (and no)....these branded name medications (Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, Zepbound,) average $1000-$1600 per month, and almost all insurances have stopped coverage for weight loss purposes. At Healing Roots Medicine, we have worked hard to dramatically increase affordably and are currently offering this for only $185 per month for the 1st two months! What was unaffordable for most people is now within reach for many. We specialize in an integrative approach combining lifestyle & nutrition with the most advanced medical therapy to achieve superior results. 

The Power of GLP-1 Medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications have revolutionized weight management by targeting hunger and satiety. Originally developed for diabetes management, GLP-1’s have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in promoting weight loss in individuals with and without diabetes. Clinical trials have shown average weight reductions of 15-20% among participants, underscoring its potential as a potent tool in combating obesity.

Integrating Root Cause Approach with Medically Supported Weight Loss

Achieving sustainable weight loss requires a multifaceted approach that goes beyond medication alone. Integrating advanced nutritional, cardiovascular, and cholesterol evaluations ensures a personalized strategy tailored to individual needs. By utilizing advanced testing techniques, Healing Roots providers Jeremy & Havilah Brodhead can identify specific metabolic profiles and dietary requirements, optimizing the effectiveness of weight loss interventions. Working on root causes of weight gain while offering medically-supported weight loss ensures better success in keeping the weight off for good. Your visits are billed the same as any other medical visits and are in addition to the cost of any medications.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Interventions Utilizing Functional Medicine

In conjunction with medications, a balanced nutritional plan plays a pivotal role in supporting weight loss and overall well-being. Healing Roots Medicine uses a Functional Medicine approach providing tailored dietary guidance. This enhances the medication's effects while promoting healthy eating habits that are sustainable in the long term. Lifestyle modifications such as increased physical activity and stress management further complement these efforts, fostering a holistic approach to weight management.

Advanced Pharmacological Management

For individuals requiring additional support, advanced pharmacological management can be integrated to address specific metabolic challenges. This personalized approach ensures that treatment plans are not only effective but also safe and well-tolerated, under the guidance of healthcare professionals experienced in managing obesity and related conditions.

Considerations for GLP-1s such a Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

As with any medication, it's essential to discuss potential side effects and benefits with a healthcare provider. Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as mild nausea & constipation, which typically subside over time and vary from person to person. Regular monitoring and adjustments ensure optimal results while minimizing any adverse effects.  We also specialize in a holistic approach utilizing dietary modifications and supplements to reduce side effects.
