Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss may seem like a simple equation of “calories in vs. calories out” but if you’ve hit a plateau or experienced the ups and downs of yo-yo dieting, you know that advice doesn’t work for everyone.
That’s where weight loss injections can make a difference. Originally developed for people with diabetes, semaglutide and tirzepatide injections help curb cravings and support weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Before recommending this treatment, our team at InVita Health & Wellness will assess your overall health to determine if weight loss injections are right for you.
What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Research shows that weight loss and management is about more than willpower and counting calories. It’s also influenced by how your body handles food, hormones and metabolism. Factors like insulin resistance and hypothyroidism can make losing weight more challenging.
While fad diets or extreme exercise routines might give you temporary results, they often leave you feeling hungry and exhausted, which is not sustainable or healthy in the long run.
Medications that contain compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide have become popular, non-invasive options for weight management. These injections work by slowing digestion, helping you feel full longer, and naturally reducing calorie intake – leading to more consistent, long-term weight loss results.
Metabolic & Hormonal Testing
To create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, we start your consultation with a few key laboratory tests. These may include fasting cholesterol (lipid panel), thyroid function tests, metabolic markers (hemoglobin A1C, insulin, blood glucose), as well as kidney and liver function tests, and electrolyte levels. We offer a range of laboratory testing, from a basic assessment to a comprehensive work-up that evaluates thyroid imbalances, vitamin deficiencies and hormone levels.
