Living Your Best Life

There are many different approaches to weight loss programs, but generally speaking, the most effective programs are those that combine healthy eating habits with regular exercise.  

Medication-assisted weight loss can be an effective option for some people who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. However, it's important to note that medication should not be the sole solution for weight loss and should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program. 

Medication-assisted weight loss involves the use of prescription medications to aid in weight loss efforts. These medications are typically used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program and are only recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions. 

This is not a complete list, but here are some of the medication options

• Orlistat: This medication blocks the absorption of some of the fat you eat, helping you to lose weight.
• Phentermine: This medication works by suppressing appetite, helping you to eat less and lose weight.
• Liraglutide: This medication is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps to control blood sugar levels and reduce appetite.
• Bupropion and naltrexone: This combination of medications helps to reduce appetite and cravings.
• Semaglutide: This is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that can help reduce feelings of hunger, control blood sugars, and increase feelings of fullness.
• Tirzepatide: works by activating two different receptors in the body, GLP-1 and GIP, which help to regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.
• Bella: Bella has 7 different versions, each is a mix of 4-6 of these medications: Bupropion HCl/ Phentermine HCl/ Topiramate/Naltrexone HCl/Metformin/ Oxytocin/ Methylcobalamin. Though the primary advantage of using Bella is weight loss, you may also experience improved mood, increased energy, and improved cognition.

It's important to note that these medications may have side effects, and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. They are not suitable for everyone, and should not be used as a quick fix for weight loss. We can help determine if medication-assisted weight loss is appropriate for you and which medication may be best for your individual needs.
