Having the support of caring medical specialists armed with safe treatment options can go a long way to helping you reach your weight loss goals. Knowledge is power, and with our initial evaluation, we can evaluate the underlying biological, medical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors preventing you from losing weight and determine which options might work best for you. Some of the holistic weight loss solutions we offer at Balanced Medical Solutions include:
GLP-1s
GLP-1 medications work by mimicking certain hormones in the body to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying and regulate blood sugar levels to help you lose weight. Unlike other weight loss medications, it can be used for long-term weight management.
Prescription Appetite Suppressants
Prescription medications such as phentermine and oxytocin can help reduce hunger, making it easier to resist food cravings and lower your calorie intake. Phentermine is a stimulant that is safe for short-term weight loss with doctor supervision. Oxytocin is a hormone (often called the “love hormone”) that has been found to be an effective appetite suppressant in both men and women. Oxytocin is administered as an injection or intranasal spray.
B12 Lipotropic Injections
B12 lipotropic shots, also known as lipo-B or MIC shots, are weekly injections that contain essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids to speed up metabolic processes, promoting safe and effective weight loss. The specific amino acids — methionine, inositol and choline — help break down fat and boost energy levels to assist in your weight loss efforts.
Hormonal Imbalance Treatments
Balancing your hormones with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can address some of the factors that contribute to weight gain. As we get older, hormone levels drop with menopause and andropause, which can make it difficult to lose weight, especially around the midsection. If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to lose weight in the past with diet and exercise alone, hormone replacement therapy can help you reach your goals by increasing your energy, jumpstarting your metabolism, reducing sugar cravings, and changing the way your body stores fat.
Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help the body build muscle, burn fat, and perform other essential functions. When incorporated into your weight loss plan, peptides can boost your metabolism, reduce food cravings, and break down stubborn fat to support your efforts.
Body Sculpting with HI-EMT
Body sculpting with HI-EMT is a nonsurgical treatment for building muscle and targeting unwanted fat in common problem areas such as the hips, thighs, waist, abdomen, buttocks and triceps. It can also be used to treat incontinence by strengthening the pelvic and bladder muscles. Nonsurgical body sculpting is a great option for putting the “final touch” on your weight loss journey by eliminating stubborn fat and improving muscle contour and definition.
