What Causes Weight Gain?

In recent decades, research has emphasized the causes of obesity, and how it can be treated or prevented. These causes include:

Genetics
Aging
Stress and tiredness
Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression
Lack of sleep/Insomnia
Engineered junk foods or heavily processed foods
Addiction to food
Consumption of high-fat and sugar-sweetened foods
Lack of protein
Insulin and leptin resistance
An interactive thyroid
Cushing’s disease
Certain medication side effects
Misinformation about nutrition and health

Fortunately, these contributing causes of weight gain can simply be controlled by using the right lifestyle choices. A medical weight loss program can be used to fight obesity and maintain a healthy weight no matter what your age is, and no matter what the circumstances are.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Trying to lose weight can be a frustrating venture, especially when results are slow and motivation to continue is hard to come by. If you are looking for support and direction to lose pounds and maintain a healthy weight, a medical weight loss program might be what is critically needed.

A medical weight loss is a non-surgical program that is designed, presented, and supervised by medical professionals. Basically, your medical and weight loss team consists of a licensed nurse, physician, fitness trainer, dietician, or other professionals. It is a case-by-case approach that advises patients on:

How to exercise properly
How to eat right
How to reduce the behaviors or actions that have caused them to gain weight in the first place
How to integrate lifestyle changes into their daily routines

In addition to advice and counseling, the program also includes weight loss medications and dietary supplements that are FDA approved. The goal here is not solely about losing extra pounds, but also learning better ways to be a healthier individual and maintain your weight.

What Is Included?

The medical weight loss program covers components tailored to everyone’s specific needs.

Nutritional counseling
Weight loss medications

Dietary supplements or meal replacement shakes

Customized fitness advice
Cornerstone meal replacement products
Continuing behavioral therapy

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide an incretin mimetic; specifically, semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with 94% sequence homology to human GLP-1. Semaglutide binds and activates the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 is an important, gut-derived, glucose homeostasis regulator that is released after the oral ingestion of carbohydrates or fats. In patients with Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 concentrations are decreased in response to an oral glucose load. GLP-1 enhances insulin secretion; it increases glucose-dependent insulin synthesis and in vivo secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells in the presence of elevated glucose. In addition to increases in insulin secretion and synthesis, GLP-1 suppresses Glc secretion, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, and promotes beta-cell proliferation. The principal mechanism of protraction resulting in the long half-life of semaglutide is albumin binding, which results in decreased renal clearance and protection from metabolic degradation; semaglutide is stabilized against degradation by the DPP-4 enzyme. Semaglutide reduces blood glucose through a mechanism where it stimulates insulin secretion and lowers Glc secretion, both in a glucose-dependent manner. Therefore, when blood glucose is high, insulin secretion is stimulated and Glc secretion is inhibited. The mechanism of blood glucose lowering also involves a minor delay in gastric emptying in the early postprandial phase.
