What you need to know…
I’ve thought long and hard about introducing ‘weight loss injections’ into my clinical practice. I trained in this area, 3 years ago, long before the media craze took hold. But I won’t offer any treatment that I don’t thoroughly understand, the short and long-term effects. There is finally strong evidence that demonstrates that obesity/ excessive weight is not always related to unhealthy diet and lifestyle choices.
In this blog, we explore how weight loss injections work, what to expect, and whether they could be the right choice for you.
What are weight loss injections?
Semiglutide is a medication that helps control your appetite, making it easier to reduce your food intake and lose weight.
These prescription medications mimic a hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite. By helping you feel full for longer, reducing your food intake, leading to weight loss over time. Research evidence has also shown that health risk factors (heart attack, stroke, some cancers) associated with excessive weight are dramatically reduced.
The injection isn’t a magic bullet! You must also be committed to:
Healthy Eating: Focus on balanced, nutrient-rich meals.
Regular Exercise: Incorporate physical activity into your routine to boost your weight loss and overall health.
Mindful Habits: Practice mindful eating and make conscious choices about your health and well-being.
Is the weight loss injection for you?
Is your BMI 30 +?
Is your BMI 27 + with high blood pressure and or cholesterol or are you pre-diabetic?
If so the injections are licensed for prescription to you.
