12 Week Weight Loss Program in Murrieta and Santa Ana
If you are looking to shed an average of 10 to 30 pounds, Executive Medical Spa’s GLP-1 Weight Loss Program might be your dream solution. Sometimes we need a little push when diet + exercise alone don’t provide the results we’re looking for. This program is exclusively available at Executive Medical Spa, and includes a simple regimen of injections or dissolvable tablets to kickstart your body and turn it into a fat burning machine.
WHAT IS GLP-1 AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin sensitivity and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar. It works by:
- Delaying how quickly our stomachs digest food. Leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
- Slowing intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.
- Lowering blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
- Stimulating insulin secretion by the pancreas.
Studies have demonstrated that GLP-1 reduces appetite, improved control of eating, and reduced food cravings in addition to improved blood sugar levels. The greatest weight loss benefits were observed when GLP-1 medication was used in combination with lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and consistent exercise.
WHO CANNOT BE ON THE PROGRAM?
Patients who are insulin-dependent diabetic and those prone to diabetic ketoacidosis. It cannot be used on patients who are already on a GLP-1 medication. A medical consultation and laboratory work by one of our experienced medical providers is required before starting the program. We recommend patients have a BMI of 27 or higher before starting (30 or more is preferred).
