- GOAL injections (glutamine, ornithine, arginine, lysine)
- MIC injections (methionine-inositol-choline-cyanocobalamin)
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication commonly used in medical weight loss programs. Semaglutide was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but one of the observed side effects was appetite reduction, which led to it becoming a popular weight loss drug. Hetal will provide in-clinic weekly semaglutide injections. Alternatively, you can self-administer semaglutide injections in the comfort of your own home, offering flexibility to fit your lifestyle. At-home injections allow you to stay on track with your medical weight loss in Brandon.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs mimic the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a natural hormone in the body. When you inject semaglutide, it activates GLP-1 receptors in your pancreas, which slows down stomach emptying and promotes a sense of fullness. By reducing your appetite and inducing prolonged feelings of fullness, semaglutide lowers food intake and helps you stick to your caloric goals, thus aiding in weight loss.
It Starts With A Free Consultation With Hetal
Your medical weight loss journey starts with a free consultation with Hetal. During the consultation, Hetal will calculate your nutrition targets, ideal weight, and caloric requirements. If necessary, medication treatment plans will be discussed, along with the option for in-clinic or at-home semaglutide injections. Hetal will also order lab tests to identify potential underlying health conditions and imbalances responsible for your weight. After a thorough evaluation, Hetal will curate a personalized plan for medical weight loss in Brandon.
GOAL Injections
GOAL injections — glutamine, ornithine, arginine, and lysine — are utilized as a complementary component in our medical weight loss program. These amino acids are crucial in various metabolic processes and can support your weight loss journey. GOAL injections work with personalized nutrition, medication plans, and other elements of your weight loss strategy to help you achieve and maintain your desired weight and overall wellness.
Glutamine supports muscle preservation and immune function while reducing sugar and alcohol cravings. Ornithine contributes to the detoxification of ammonia, a metabolic waste product, which can help enhance overall metabolism. Arginine supports healthy blood flow and may aid in reducing fat accumulation. Lysine plays a role in collagen formation and the preservation of lean muscle mass. Together, these amino acids promote improved body composition, boost energy levels, and enhance the effectiveness of your weight loss program.
Peptide Therapy
Peptide therapy is a cutting-edge approach to enhancing overall wellness and supporting weight loss. This type of medical weight loss in Brandon involves using specific peptides (short chains of amino acids) to target various physiological processes, including improved body composition, increased muscle mass, better sleep quality, enhanced mental acuity, and support for bone health and density. Peptide therapy also helps regulate blood sugar, break down fat, and reduce body fat, contributing to a healthier and more balanced physique.
How Peptide Therapy works
Peptide therapy works by influencing specific receptors or signaling pathways in the body. For instance, certain peptides can activate receptors that stimulate the release of growth hormone, which plays a key role in muscle growth and fat metabolism.
Other peptides may modulate appetite-regulating hormones to reduce cravings and promote satiety. The precise mechanisms vary depending on the specific peptides used, but overall, peptide therapy offers a targeted and personalized approach to optimizing your weight loss efforts.
MIC Injections
MIC injections, which combine methionine, inositol, choline, and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), support your weight loss efforts by facilitating fat metabolism and enhancing overall liver function. Each amino acid or component of the injection targets a different element of your metabolism and weight loss, and they work synergistically to promote effective fat breakdown, improve liver health, and boost energy levels. To understand how MIC works for medical weight loss in Brandon, you must understand the role played by each element.
How MIC Injections works
Methionine is an essential amino acid that assists in breaking down fats and preventing their accumulation in the liver. Inositol and choline metabolize fats and ensure their efficient transport and utilization by the body.
Cyanocobalamin, a manufactured form of vitamin B12, aids in converting food into energy and helps maintain a healthy nervous system. Collectively, these components support overall weight loss, making MIC injections an essential part of our medical weight loss plans.
