Weight Loss with GLP1
At Belcara Health, we understand that weight loss can feel like a long and overwhelming journey. Our team of experienced medical professionals offers personalized weight management programs, including GLP-1 therapy, to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively. We prioritize your overall health and well-being, providing compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.
GLP-1 therapy involves the use of medications that mimic the effects of this hormone. These medications help to suppress appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and slow down the rate at which food is digested, allowing you to achieve your healthiest weight while incorporating lifestyle changes for long-term weight management.
For those seeking a more comprehensive approach to weight loss, our BH Fit program incorporates GLP-1 with multi-modal support, including body composition analysis, nutrition counseling, and supplementation. Learn more about BH Fit here.
GLP-1 therapy typically involves weekly injections. Through careful assessment and comprehensive training, our team will provide you with everything you need to administer your injections from the comfort of your own home, work, vacation, or anywhere. GLP-1 injections offer a streamlined, stress-free path to better health and confidence.
GLP-1 therapy may be a suitable option for you if:
There is no specific "recovery" associated with GLP-1 therapy. However, being aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, and headache, is important. These side effects are usually mild and tend to subside within a few days. Inform your wellness specialist of any side effects so they can adjust your treatment if necessary.
The results of GLP-1 treatments for weight loss can be truly transformative, empowering you to achieve your health and wellness goals. By regulating appetite and improving the body’s natural response to insulin, GLP-1 helps reduce cravings, promote satiety, and encourage sustainable, healthy eating habits. Many patients experience significant and steady weight loss, enhanced energy levels, and improvements in overall health markers, such as blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Beyond the physical benefits, the confidence and vitality gained from reaching your weight loss goals can have a profound impact on your quality of life. With expert guidance and support, GLP-1 can be a game-changer in your journey toward a healthier, happier you.
GLP-1 medications are generally safe and well-tolerated when used as directed. Our experienced specialists will carefully assess your medical history to ensure that GLP-1 injections are a safe option for you.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and constipation. These side effects typically tend to subside as your body adjusts to the medication.
GLP-1 therapy is typically an ongoing treatment to achieve weight loss. With continued healthy living, many patients are able to maintain a healthy weight following GLP-1 treatment.
It is important to discuss any changes to your treatment plan with your physician.
GLP-1 therapy is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. As you lose weight with GLP-1, it is important to incorporate healthy lifestyle changes to promote long-term weight management.
