Are you someone who cannot lose weight even after changing your nutritional intake and exercise? It’s possible that your weight loss plateau isn’t something you can fix on your own – it may be a medical problem. Many people are looking for an option that is not offered elsewhere or may not be covered by their insurance.
At Neighborhood Naturopathic, we are introducing a new medical weight loss program that is ideal for people who:
- Have type 2 diabetes
- Have a metabolic disorder
- Are struggling with stubborn peri- or menopausal weight gain
- Are experiencing hormonal weight gain
- Are pre-diabetic or have insulin resistance
- Have been unsuccessful with other weight loss programs
Our weight loss program is not just for anyone, though. It may not be worth considering if you are merely looking for a quick fix without transforming your lifestyle. Our naturopathic approach is a long-term integrative medical program designed to help people lose weight and improve their overall health in a sustainable way.
In addition to lifestyle changes, our program is unique in that we employ medications comparable to Ozempic and Wegovy. These medications are glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and act on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), and glucagon receptors, respectively.
GLP-1 RAs have been shown to be very effective for weight loss. They have also been shown to have a number of other health benefits, such as improving mood and cognitive function, protecting against vascular aging, protecting against fatty liver, protecting bones, protecting and regenerating joints, protecting and regenerating cardiovascular tissue, combating muscle loss, and being neuroprotective and reducing neuroinflammation.
Here are a few examples of people who have benefited from the Neighborhood Naturopathic weight loss program:
- A woman in her late 30’s was experiencing peri-menopausal hormone imbalance and noticed that her weight gain over the years had become increasingly difficult to lose. The Neighborhood Naturopathic weight loss program helped her to lose and keep off the weight. Both cause and effect – she began to feel like adding more movement and exercise to her daily routine, resulting in an improved mood and energy level.
- A pre-diabetic middle-aged man utilized the Neighborhood Naturopathic weight loss program and improved his diet and increased his physical activity. From there, he was able to improve his blood sugar levels and also lose weight.
If you are struggling to lose weight and have tried other approaches without success, the Neighborhood Naturopathic weight loss program is a great option.
