What is Medically Assisted Weight Loss with GLP-1 Medications?

At Rewind Advanced Aesthetics, Dermatology, Concierge Medicine, and Trichology by Formula Health in Lexington, Kentucky, our program emphasizes continuing support, with regular check-ins and adjustments to your GLP-1 weight loss medication based on progress and emerging needs. This holistic and patient-centric approach not only aims to achieve weight loss but also seeks to instill sustainable, healthy habits, enhancing overall well-being.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

Typically, people that are of a BMI of 30 and above are candidates for medically assisted weight loss, but individuals with lower BMI may also benefit from it. Your provider and our certified nutritionist will assess whether or not the program is a good fit for you.

Physician-Assisted Weight Loss

Medically assisted weight loss programs at Rewind Advanced Aesthetics, Dermatology, Concierge Medicine, and Trichology by Formula Health with GLP-1 medications offer several advantages over traditional self-directed methods, which can enhance both the effectiveness and safety of the weight loss journey:

• Individualized Treatment Plans:  These programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual. Health care professionals can assess one’s medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals to develop an effective program uniquely suited to the individual. This personalization can improve outcomes by focusing on what works best for the patient.
• Clinical Expertise and Guidance:  Participants have access to a team of healthcare providers, including doctors, nutritionists, and sometimes psychologists, who offer expert advice and support. Their supervision ensures that weight loss methods are safe and based on scientific evidence, reducing the risk of adverse health effects.
• Medical Monitoring:  Various health parameters are monitored regularly, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar. This continuous monitoring helps in immediate adjustments in the treatment plan as required, ensuring the individual remains in good health throughout the weight loss process.
• Addressing Underlying Health Conditions:  Medically assisted weight loss can help address underlying health issues that may be contributing to weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, or psychological factors. By tackling these underlying problems, the programs can provide long-term solutions rather than just short-term weight loss.
• Psychological Support and Motivation:  Many programs incorporate psychological counseling or support groups to help individuals deal with emotional eating and other psychological barriers to weight loss. This support can be crucial in maintaining motivation and making lasting lifestyle changes.
• Increased Success Rates:  People following medically supervised programs often have higher success rates compared to those trying to lose weight on their own. The structured nature, combined with professional support and accountability, makes patients more likely to adhere to their plans and achieve their weight loss goals.
• Nutritional Education and Lifestyle Changes:  Individuals learn about proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle habits that contribute to sustainable weight loss and overall well-being. This education empowers them with knowledge that can prevent future weight gain.
• Access to Medical Treatments:  For those who need it, medically assisted programs can offer pharmacological treatments or even surgical options that are not available in non-medical settings. These treatments can be critical for individuals who have found little success with traditional weight loss methods.

By integrating these advantages, medically assisted weight loss programs that utilize GLP-1 medications offer a comprehensive approach, ensuring not only weight loss but also improvements in overall health and quality of life.

You may choose to use a medication to assist you during the program. Whatever option you choose, the doctor will closely monitor you to ensure your safety and success during the program.
