Obesity Is the Starting Point for More Trouble
Regaining Control of Your Weight
Obesity poses numerous health risks for sufferers, including heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems. Our medical weight loss program addresses obesity by providing personalized plans combining dietary guidance, physical activity, and semaglutide or tirzepatide medication therapy.
This comprehensive approach can help you achieve sustainable weight loss while mitigating health risks associated with the extra weight. As you lose the pounds, you gain overall well-being, reducing the burden of obesity-related complications both physically and emotionally.
The Original Target of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Regaining Control of Type 2 Diabetes
Medical weight loss started as a proven strategy for managing type 2 diabetes. With the program's tailored interventions combining dietary changes, exercise, and medications, it also proved excellent at targeting weight reduction for improved insulin sensitivity.
Shedding this excess weight often leads to better glycemic control, reduced reliance on diabetes medications, and a lowered risk of complications. At Lexington Prime, our medical weight loss program provides a proactive, effective approach to managing type 2 diabetes.
Consultation
Joining the medical weight loss program starts with a one-on-one consultation. This honest and open discussion about your concerns and your goals for treatment helps us get the full picture of what you want and what you need. We’ll also run blood tests to understand your current metabolic function.
Treatment
Your personalized program will include a healthy diet and exercise regimen and ongoing progress monitoring. As part of your medical weight loss, weekly injections of either semaglutide or tirzepatide—whichever is best suited for your unique needs—will support and hasten the healthy shedding of excess pounds.
Aftercare
Blood testing, body composition analysis, and health monitoring are essential requirements for medical weight loss as you continue to make progress and after you achieve your goals. As we phase out the semaglutide or tirzepatide injections, you will need to follow dietary and exercise guidelines to keep the weight from returning.
Maintenance
To stay at your target weight, you’ll need to integrate muscle-strengthening exercises into your routine and cultivate eating habits that foster satisfaction without the risk of gaining weight. Optimizing your lifestyle and retraining your brain helps you avoid gaining weight after medical weight loss, and it gives you confidence to keep up the good work!
