WHAT IS MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS?
All too often when a person embarks on a weight loss journey, immediate success is often followed up by a frustrating plateau. No matter how much a diet is adhered to or hard work is invested in the gym, the numbers on the scale don't ever seem to move. This may be due to a number of factors including the recomposition of the body (loss of body fat combined with the addition of muscle mass). This is also where the assistance of medical weight loss comes into play. When diet and exercise are no longer enough, we can provide physician-guided assistance to help you continue striving for and reaching your goals.
WHAT DOES MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS CONSIST OF?
When it comes to medically assisted weight loss, we offer a number of different treatments. The following are some of our most commonly prescribed:
-
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) - belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose
-
Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) - unique because it’s the first combination of two classes of medications: a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. Therefore, tirzepatide is known as a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. It promotes weight loss by decreasing your appetite and prolonging feelings of fullness.
-
AOD-9604 - originally developed as an anti-obesity drug, helps to burn fat and support weight loss
-
Tesamorelin - increases HGH production, increases IGF-1 levels, promotes fat loss, reduces triglycerides
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Below you can find pricing for our Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Protocols. The amount of time the vial will last is dose dependent. The number of weeks is estimated based on standard dosing protocol and could vary.
IS MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS SAFE?
As with any prescription medication, there are risks involved and possible side effects that can occur. However, the medical team at Pinnacle Performance Health & Wellness works hand-in-hand with each and every one of our patients to insure that we mitigate the risks and side effects that are experienced. This is accomplished through a comprehensive onboarding process that includes bloodwork and getting a full report on each patient's medical history and lifestyle. Additionally, we stay in constant communication with patients through our online patient portal. We want your experience with Pinnacle to be nothing short of extraordinary.
