"Lose weight, gain health"
A holistic approach to weight loss prioritizes overall well-being while addressing the underlying causes of weight gain. Nutritional counseling forms a crucial part of this approach, helping individuals develop healthier eating habits and make informed choices. Optimization of vitamin and hormone levels ensures that the body functions optimally and minimizes factors that contribute to weight gain. Additionally, for some individuals, medication may be necessary to manage underlying health conditions or aid in weight loss efforts. By combining these elements, a holistic approach provides a comprehensive and personalized strategy for individuals to achieve their weight loss goals while promoting long-term health and wellness.
GLP-1
GLP-1s, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are medications that can aid in weight loss. These drugs work by increasing feelings of fullness, reducing appetite, and slowing down digestion. By incorporating GLP-1s into a weight loss plan, individuals may experience improved weight management and achieve their goals more effectively.​​

Contrave
