What Are the Benefits of Losing Weight?
Cardiovascular Health
Carrying excess weight can put added strain on the heart and make it work harder to pump blood throughout the body. Losing weight can support cardiovascular health by helping maintain normal blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and circulation. Even a small reduction in weight can ease stress on the arteries and lower your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Inflammation Reduction
Shedding weight may help lower inflammation markers, reducing strain on joints and organs. This can be particularly beneficial for patients dealing with conditions like arthritis or metabolic disorders. Weight loss can also support a healthier immune system and make it easier for the body to recover from everyday stressors.
Increased Energy Levels
Carrying extra weight requires more energy for simple movements, which can leave you feeling fatigued throughout the day. As weight decreases, the body works more efficiently, leading to better stamina and reduced strain on muscles and joints. Daily activities can start to feel easier, and you may no longer experience midday energy crashes. Better mobility and endurance can also encourage a more active lifestyle, further supporting weight loss efforts.
Improved Sleep Quality
Excess weight can contribute to disrupted sleep by affecting breathing patterns and increasing the risk of conditions like sleep apnea. Losing weight may help open airways and allow for deeper, more restful sleep. You may experience fewer nighttime awakenings and improved sleep duration after weight loss.
An Overview of Our Weight Loss Medications
We offer different types of weight loss injections. These medications provide a safe and effective way to accelerate weight loss, helping you achieve your goal weight and improve your body composition more quickly. They work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. Using the medication stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin and reduce glucose production by the liver. This process helps you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and lowers food intake. Consequently, your body starts burning fat reserves for energy, significantly aiding in your weight loss efforts.
These medications offer several benefits:
- Reduced appetite
- Improved overall health markers, such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Support in developing sustainable healthy habits, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and long-term weight loss
What Is Semaglutide?
At Balle Bliss Luxury Medical Spa, we offer a compounded semaglutide.
This medication is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates appetite and blood sugar, leading to steady weight loss. Originally developed for diabetes, it slows gastric emptying and signals the brain to feel full with smaller portions. This reduces overeating and frequent snacking by making it physically easier to say “no”. Compounded semaglutide improves insulin sensitivity, preventing blood sugar spikes that trigger cravings. Patients often experience gradual fat loss without drastic diet changes, which allows for a more sustainable option for long-term weight management.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Weight Loss Injections?
Individuals With Stubborn Weight
Some patients struggle with weight loss despite following a structured diet and exercise plan. Weight loss injections can help by addressing metabolic factors that make shedding excess weight difficult.
Patients Within the Recommended BMI Parameters
These medications are most effective for individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have weight-related health concerns, or those with a BMI of 30 or more seeking weight loss support. While not meant for minor weight adjustments, they can be a useful tool for patients with moderate to significant weight loss goals. It may be ideal for those who are experiencing health problems because of their excess weight and want to improve their overall health.
Patients Who Are Committed to Lifestyle Changes
While weight loss injections help reduce appetite and improve metabolism, long-term success still depends heavily on healthy habits. Patients who incorporate balanced nutrition and regular movement see the best results. If you are ready to improve your health and focus on your overall well-being, weight loss injections like compounded semaglutide can be helpful tools to get you there.
Patients Desiring Professional Oversight
Weight loss is complex, and professional guidance allows you to enjoy safer and more effective progress. Patients who want structured support, regular monitoring, and adjustments based on their needs benefit most from these treatments. When you come to us for weight loss injections, we can monitor your overall health, your rate of weight loss, and more to make sure you are proceeding in a way that is safe for your body and that will give you a better chance of keeping the weight off later.
Our Weight Loss Program
Pre-Treatment Testing and Labs
Our weight loss program, overseen by board-certified family physician Dr. Sohal, starts with baseline labs and an EKG to ensure you are a good candidate for these medications. This initial testing helps us assess your metabolic health, screen for underlying conditions, and personalize your treatment plan. When we understand your body’s baseline, we can optimize your weight loss injection regimen for safer and more effective results. These tests also give us something to compare to as you begin to lose weight.
Consultation and Medical Evaluation
You’ll also have a consultation with Dr. Sohal, who will perform a complete history and physical. This in-depth discussion allows us to understand your weight loss challenges, medical background, and lifestyle habits. We’ll discuss realistic goals, potential treatment timelines, and how these medications fit into your overall health plan.
Beginning Your Treatment
You’ll begin weekly in-office injections with specialized, one-on-one guidance throughout your transformation. Injection for weight loss is most effective when paired with expert support, and we’re here to adjust your dosage as needed, track your progress, and offer advice. During these visits, we’ll also provide strategies for optimizing your metabolism, improving dietary habits, and making sustainable changes to enhance your results.
Follow-Ups and Monitoring
We’ll monitor your progress weekly and address any questions or side effects, with Dr. Sohal available to prescribe medications if needed. If you are traveling or unable to come in for your injections, we can provide injections for self-administration at home. Regular check-ins help us fine-tune your treatment based on your body’s response. Whether in-office or at home, we provide ongoing support to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.
How to Supplement Weight Loss Injections With Lifestyle Changes
Dietary Guidance
Eating the right foods makes a big difference in how well your body responds to treatment. We encourage balanced meals with lean proteins, fiber-rich vegetables, and healthy fats to keep you full and energized. Cutting back on processed foods and excess sugar helps stabilize blood sugar levels and makes your weight loss shot even more effective. Small changes, like swapping refined carbs for whole grains and drinking more water, can support your metabolism and help you see results faster.
Exercise Recommendations
Regular movement helps your body burn fat more efficiently and improves overall well-being. You don’t need an intense workout routine. Just staying active makes a difference. We recommend a mix of strength training and cardiovascular exercise to support muscle tone and metabolic health. Even simple activities like walking, yoga, or bodyweight exercises can complement your treatment and improve endurance. Finding something you enjoy keeps you consistent and makes exercise feel like part of your routine rather than a chore.
Behavioral Support
Changing the way you approach food, stress, and daily habits are all important for long-term success. We help you recognize triggers that lead to overeating, build healthier coping strategies, and set realistic goals. Mindful eating, portion control, and structured meal planning can make it easier to sustain your progress. If emotional eating or stress management is a challenge, we can offer practical techniques to help you stay on track.
Hormone Balance
Hormones influence metabolism, appetite, and how your body stores fat. If imbalances are affecting your weight loss, we offer hormone replacement therapy to restore proper levels and optimize your results. By addressing deficiencies in hormones like testosterone, or estrogen, we help improve energy, reduce stubborn weight gain, and support overall well-being. Balancing hormones alongside your weight loss plan can make it easier to shed fat and maintain a healthy body composition.
Dealing With Weight Loss Plateaus and Other Challenges
- Adjusting Your Dosage: Sometimes, your body adapts to weight loss injections, making it necessary to adjust the dosage. We monitor your progress closely and can make changes to keep your metabolism responding effectively.
- Fine-Tuning Your Diet: Even small dietary tweaks can help break through a plateau. Increasing protein, reducing processed carbs, and paying attention to portion sizes can give your body the boost it needs to continue shedding weight.
- Incorporating More Movement: If your weight has stalled, switching up your exercise routine can help. Adding strength training, increasing daily steps, or changing cardio intensity can jump start fat loss. You may find that as you lose weight, movement becomes easier and it becomes possible to add physical activities.
- Managing Stress and Sleep: Stress and poor sleep impact metabolism and appetite regulation. Finding ways to relax and ensuring quality sleep can prevent hormone imbalances that contribute to plateaus.
- Reassessing Your Goals: Plateaus are normal, and sometimes the focus needs to shift from the scale to body composition. Measuring inches lost, tracking energy levels, and celebrating non-scale victories can help maintain motivation.
