If you feel you can’t lose weight no matter how many healthy choices you make or how much time you spend at the gym, you’re not alone. Losing weight and keeping it off can be challenging for anyone, but reaching and maintaining your health goals is possible with the help of medically supervised weight loss at AVIE! We offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide, two weight management medications that prompt the body to produce more insulin, lowering blood sugar, curbing hunger and enhancing fullness after eating with a series of injections.
If you meet the BMI (body mass index) and health requirements for our medically supervised program, we will carefully adjust your semaglutide or tirzepatide treatment plan to optimize your results while prioritizing your overall health and wellness.
Medically supervised weight loss with semaglutide or tirzepatide can help:
- Regulate blood sugar levels
- Enhance feelings of fullness
- Reduce cravings and overeating
- Aid in long-term weight loss and weight management
- Reduce risk of long-term health problems associated with obesity
FAQs: Medically Supervised Weight Loss
in Loudoun County at AVIE!
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), meaning it mimics the GLP-1 hormone. When you eat, the GLP-1 hormone is released by the gastrointestinal tract, signaling to the body to produce more insulin which lowers blood glucose (sugar). GLP-1 can also reduce food cravings and signal a feeling of fullness.
Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it mimics the GLP-1 hormone and the GIP hormone. In addition to the GLP-1 hormone, the GIP hormone can also prompt insulin production and feelings of fullness.
To be successful within this program, it’s important to stay committed and consistent with your injections. At AVIE!, your injections will be provided weekly in the office at your weekly checkup. Another way to achieve long-term results is by pairing healthy dietary choices, regular exercise, good sleep habits and stress management with your weight loss treatments.
Your provider will assess your BMI, medical history and other health factors to determine whether you qualify for treatment and which medication is right for you.
