Your weight loss doctor will make a dosage plan based on your medical history and overall health after your teleWellness consultation. Typically, patients are started on a lower dosage and as your doctor receives feedback on your progress they may increase your dosage.
Medical weight loss injections offer a range of health benefits that can improve your overall well-being and longevity. By specifically targeting excess fat, these injections can significantly reduce the risk of serious health conditions like heart disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Each injection is formulated with a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other beneficial compounds to assist you in reaching your weight loss goals. This potent formula boosts your metabolism, decreases appetite, and enhances fat loss. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, these injections can lead to substantial weight reduction.
Besides aiding in weight loss, these injections can also boost your energy levels, sharpen mental focus, and reduce stress—all of which are vital for maintaining a healthy weight in the long term.
The Sanctuary Wellness Institute’s weight loss program includes a doctor’s consultation, medication delivered straight to your home, and continuous support from our care team.
The cost of the program varies depending on the medication and dosage you and your doctor select. Typically, the program starts at $75 per week. Our doctors currently prescribe either semaglutide or tirzepatide, starting with a low dosage that gradually increases over time until reaching a maintenance level.
We work to make our program as cost-effective as possible. While we do not accept insurance, we offer payment plans to help you manage the expenses over time.
The medical weight loss programs at the Sanctuary Wellness Institute adopt a comprehensive approach to weight management. After evaluating your initial weight and setting goals, your doctor will work with you to establish a target weight. They will prescribe weight loss medication and guide you on how to optimize your health and the effectiveness of your medication through a proper diet and exercise regimen.
Your doctor will monitor your progress, assess how you respond to the medication, and ensure that your weight loss progresses healthily. It is essential to discuss any potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, with your doctor. Depending on the severity and type of side effects, your dosage may need adjustment, or you might require a different treatment plan. Additionally, managing your weight under medical supervision helps protect against the loss of skeletal muscle, which is critical for your overall health.
Body weight and composition are shaped by three key factors: genetics, environment, and development. Individuals enrolled in medical weight loss programs often debunk the myth that achieving a healthy weight relies solely on willpower and diet.
Losing weight can be a difficult and sometimes discouraging journey. Being part of a medical weight loss program provides the structure needed to track your progress and maintain motivation.
These programs are also valuable because they educate patients that, while diet and exercise are important, they are not the only elements in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Medical weight loss programs consider the neurological and metabolic factors that influence body weight.
Moreover, having a healthcare professional monitor the effectiveness of your medication is a significant benefit. Doctors can also provide guidance on heart-healthy diets and suitable exercise routines.
Your starting weight, medication, and dosage will all affect how quickly you lose weight. It's critical to adhere to your doctor's instructions so that the drugs can begin slowing digestion and suppressing cravings as soon as possible.
When you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight. You will burn fat and lose weight as you increase your exercise and decrease your consumption. Once they reach the right dosage levels, many patients begin to lose weight quickly.
You can be sure to lose weight at a healthy pace by working with a doctor. If your weight loss is excessively rapid, they can lower your dosage, or increase it if your weight loss is slow or stagnant.
Yes. Medical weight loss programs encourage adherence to each medication's recommended practices and provide the support required to implement additional lifestyle changes. Treatment outcomes can differ, but most patients achieve their target weights and achieve healthy BMIs while lowering their odds of developing long-term illnesses like diabetes and heart disease.
Due to the medication’s effects on digestion and metabolism, the most frequent side effects are gastric symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Depending on their biochemistry and the kind of medication taken, each person experiences side effects at different frequencies and intensities.
Notifying your physician of any changes in your health, including gastric side effects, is crucial. If you have these symptoms, they will reevaluate your condition and adjust your dosage or recommend a different medication.
The amount of weight you can lose on semaglutide depends on the calorie deficit the drug brings on. Due to the fact that doctors must gradually increase the dosage, the majority of patients do not lose weight during the first month. But once patients reach their ideal dosage, their weight loss tends to be rapid.
Different medications are effective for different people, but semaglutide and tirzepatide are arguably the most popular weight loss medications. The FDA has approved several different drugs for weight loss, but some are only approved for individuals with diabetes.
