Discover the Benefits of the Skinny Shot

The FDA estimates that approximately 70% of Americans struggle with being overweight or obese. This growing health crisis not only impacts confidence and self-esteem but also significantly affects overall health. Excess weight increases the risk of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Additionally, obesity has been linked to at least 13 different cancers. However, losing as little as 5% of body weight through lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce these risks.

For those seeking support on their weight loss journey, there are countless diet plans, exercise programs, and products claiming to make the process easier. One innovative approach is the use of GLP-1 medications, also known as “the Skinny Shot,” which work by regulating insulin response, curbing hunger, and helping individuals feel satisfied with smaller portions. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, GLP-1 treatments can significantly enhance weight loss results.

The Big Question…

What Is the Skinny Shot?

GLP-1 medications were originally developed to manage Type 2 diabetes. More recently, the FDA has approved two of these treatments for long-term weight loss.

you might be wondering…

Who is eligible for the skinny shot?

Eligibility for the Skinny Shot typically depends on a person’s BMI and health conditions. Candidates with a BMI over 30, or over 27 with related health concerns, are generally eligible.

We also understand each person is different, and that some people at a normal BMI gain weight as they age or as hormones change and need help with weight reduction.

However, individuals with a history of conditions like anorexia nervosa or body dysmorphia should work closely with their medical provider to determine if this treatment is appropriate.

The treatment begins with a low dosage administered under the skin to minimize side effects. Dosages are adjusted every four weeks or as needed.

Some individuals experience significant weight loss at the initial dose and do not require increases. It’s crucial to work closely with our medical professionals to determine the safest and most effective dose for your needs.

Calculate Your BMI

Are you wondering what your BMI is, and whether you’re eligible for the Skinny Shot? Use this handy BMI Calculator (courtesy of the CDC) to find out.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate body fat and assess whether you’re within a healthy weight range. It serves as a general guideline to identify if someone may be underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese.

You Have Questions – We Have Answers!

Yes. The first weekly GLP-1 medication for weight loss was FDA-approved in June 2021, with a second medication, combining GLP-1 and GIP, approved in 2023. These approvals underscore their safety and effectiveness in aiding weight loss. This class of medication has been used in other conditions for more than 12 years.

GLP-1 medications mimic the effects of natural proteins that regulate insulin production and metabolism. By improving the body’s ability to process sugar, they help control appetite and reduce food intake. Administered once weekly, these injections are a convenient and effective tool for managing weight.

Extensive research has shown that GLP-1 medications are safe when used as directed. However, because these treatments slow gastric emptying, they may affect how other medications or supplements are absorbed. It’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider before starting GLP-1 therapy, especially if you take other medications or have pre-existing conditions.

As with any medication, GLP-1 treatments can have side effects, especially when first starting. Commonly reported symptoms include:
-Nausea
-Constipation (though some experience diarrhea)
-Headaches or migraines
-Abdominal discomfort or bloating
-Gastric reflux or gas
-Fatigue
-Vomiting
-Vertigo

To minimize side effects, treatment typically starts with a low dose, which is gradually increased as the body adjusts.

Clinical trials have shown that patients using GLP-1 medications can lose between 15% and 21% of their body weight within 68 weeks, compared to just 2.4% for those on a placebo. However, success depends heavily on combining the treatment with a healthy diet and exercise routine. GLP-1s are not a “magic fix” but a supportive tool for sustainable weight loss.

GLP-1s are designed for gradual, long-term weight loss. Noticeable results often begin as the medication levels build up in the body. Unlike crash diets, which often lead to temporary results, GLP-1s promote sustainable progress when combined with lifestyle changes.

Maintaining healthy habits is key to sustaining weight loss after stopping GLP-1 therapy. While some weight regain is possible, establishing a balanced diet and exercise routine can help you keep the weight off. With proper support and realistic goals, long-term success is achievable.

Our providers can prescribe those medications; however, these medications have been in short supply for an extended time. We utilize compounded medications from vetted, FDA-approved compounding pharmacies. This ensures a customized dose for each patient.
