Medical Weight Loss
The goal of Upstate Ketamine and Wellness Center is to empower individuals to effectively manage their weight and/or type 2 diabetes using semaglutide.
How does Medical Weight Loss work?
Upstate Ketamine and Wellness Center provides a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of each patient’s medical history, current health status, weight management goals, and diabetes management needs. Based on this information, a personalized treatment plan is developed, incorporating semaglutide as a key component.
Upstate Ketamine and Wellness Center offers ongoing medical supervision and support to patients. Our staff closely monitor patients’ progress, adjust dosages as needed, and provide guidance on proper medication administration and potential side effects. They may also conduct regular check-ups, perform blood tests, and provide counseling on diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.
In addition to medical support, we offer educational resources and tools to assist patients in optimizing their treatment outcomes. This includes nutritional guidance, exercise recommendations, behavioral counseling, and access to support groups or educational workshops focused on weight management and diabetes management.
Who is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide?
Medical weight loss with Semaglutide is an effective and safe approach to managing obesity and excess weight. It is especially beneficial for individuals who have been unsuccessful in losing weight through traditional methods like dieting and exercising. Here are some characteristics of people who may be good candidates for medical weight loss with Semaglutide:
- Individuals with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or higher: A BMI of 30 or above is considered obese, and these individuals can greatly benefit from medical weight loss with Semaglutide.
- People with comorbidities related to obesity: Obesity increases the risk of developing various health conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. Individuals who have these conditions along with excess weight may be good candidates for medical weight loss.
- Those who have tried other weight loss methods without success: If dieting and exercising have not produced significant results in an individual's weight loss journey, they may benefit from the use of Semaglutide.
- People with a strong commitment to lifestyle changes: Medical weight loss involves not just taking medication but also making lifestyle changes to improve overall health. Candidates should be willing to commit to these changes for long-term success.
