Medical Weight Loss at NuVida Medical and Aesthetics
At NuVida Medical and Aesthetics, we provide medical weight loss options for individuals who struggle to lose weight despite consistent diet and exercise. Treatments such as semaglutide and tirzepatide injections are designed to support weight loss by regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.
These medical interventions can help you achieve results that may feel out of reach through conventional methods. We also offer affordable, injection-free weight loss solutions to meet different preferences and lifestyles. Our personalized approach allows you to choose the method that best suits your goals and needs.
What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that helps regulate appetite by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which is naturally produced in your body. It signals your brain to feel fuller after eating, helping reduce calorie intake without feeling deprived.
We use semaglutide as part of a medical weight loss plan for patients who struggle to manage weight through diet and exercise alone. It helps reduce cravings and makes it easier to maintain healthy habits.
What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a newer medication that works as a dual agonist by activating both GLP-1 and GIP hormone receptors. By targeting both pathways, it offers enhanced regulation of blood sugar and appetite, leading to more effective weight management.
This option is often recommended for patients who have significant difficulty controlling their weight or for those who also manage conditions such as diabetes.
A Closer Look at the Challenges of Weight Loss
Weight gain is a complex issue that goes far beyond diet and exercise alone. Many individuals with healthy habits still struggle to lose weight due to factors such as genetics, hormones, stress, and metabolism.
Some people experience hormonal imbalances that make it difficult to regulate hunger or energy use, while others may have genetic tendencies that affect fat storage and metabolic efficiency. These internal factors can make long-term weight management more challenging without medical support.
Benefits of Weight Loss Injections
Sustainable Long Term Weight Loss
Weight loss injections such as semaglutide and tirzepatide support sustainable weight loss by targeting the biological processes that influence appetite and fat storage. By regulating hunger and improving feelings of fullness, these medications help patients lose weight gradually and maintain results more effectively.
Enhanced Metabolism
These medications help improve insulin efficiency and glucose processing, leading to better metabolic function. A stronger metabolism allows the body to burn calories more efficiently and reduces the likelihood of weight regain.
Improved Blood Sugar Control
By mimicking hormones such as GLP-1 and GIP, weight loss injections help stabilize blood sugar levels and improve the body’s response to insulin. This supports both weight management and type 2 diabetes prevention.
Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Losing excess weight lowers the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammation. Medical weight loss improves cholesterol balance and supports overall cardiovascular health.
Works Well With Lifestyle Changes
Weight loss injections are most effective when combined with exercise, healthy nutrition, and behavior changes. While medication supports hormone and metabolic balance, lifestyle improvements enhance long-term success.
What to Expect From Our Weight Loss Programs
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are typically injected once weekly. Dosages begin low and gradually increase to allow your body to adjust comfortably. Because weight loss is never one-size-fits-all, we personalize every program based on your needs and progress.
For patients who prefer non-injectable options, we also offer additional cost-effective programs that include:
- Prescription Medications: Oral medications that help suppress appetite or modify nutrient absorption.
- Behavioral Therapy: Focuses on improving habits, mindset, and food relationships for lasting change.
- Nutritional Counseling: Personalized guidance to help you identify foods that best support your metabolism and overall health.
- Hormone Optimization Therapy: Corrects hormone imbalances that contribute to weight gain, fatigue, and fat storage.
