Medical Weight Loss
We know! It's hard!
At Restore Integrative Health and Weight Loss, we understand the challenges behind losing weight. It's not as simple as what your healthcare provider may have told you: just eat less and move more. It often takes getting to the ROOT cause of why the weight is there in the first place.
It wasn't a quick journey to get here, and it's not a quick journey to get to the place you want to be.
This is not your typical weight loss practice-just handing you medication each month and sending you on your way. We dive deep into what your labs and symptoms are telling us, discover the underlying cause, and then we equip you with the tools and lifestyle changes to get rid of the weight for good!
That being said, sometimes medications can be a helpful tool depending on what we discover in your journey, and can be added to the functional medicine program.
These are charged separately and can be sent through your insurance and retail pharmacy.
The medications we may add are featured below:
Medical Weight Loss: Medications
Liraglutide
Liraglutide is a daily injectable medication used for diabetes, but also used for weight loss. It is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist, meaning it acts like a hormone made in your intestines that stimulates the pancreas to make insulin and stops the liver from releasing stored glucose. It also slows down stomach emptying, decreasing the rate that glucose gets into your bloodstream, and also causing you to feel fuller longer. All of these mechanisms can help lead to weight loss.
Common side effects are nausea, vomiting, constipation, GERD, and abdominal pain.
More serious side effects include pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and intestinal blockage.
It should not be used in anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
Naltrexone/Bupropion
Daily oral therapy helpful for craving control and appetite suppression
Common side effects are headache, dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, palpitations
Phentermine
Daily oral therapy helpful for increased energy and appetite suppression
Common side effects are increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, insomnia, dry mouth, and anxiety. It should be used cautiously, especially in people with heart problems or certain other health conditions.
