Wellness Doctors vs. Sick-Care Doctors

The providers in the field of wellness aren’t seeing sick patients every day. They aren’t trying to turn and burn patients, and they’re consistently in this field for the same reason: To offer their patients a higher quality of life through holistic care. Specifically, providers working in hormone replacement therapy have proven to be truly wellness driven.

Is Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy Safe

Do patients at New Leaf Wellness ever wonder if their PCP takes hormones, or if they have ever considered it? At New Leaf, our providers trust Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy completely. Our hormones (pellets, creams, orals) come from New Leaf Specialty Compounding Pharmacy, which they are committed to providing safe, effective compounding treatments.

In fact, many of our providers are also a patient of New Leaf Wellness. To us, that just seems right. New Leaf’s founding Medical Director, Dr. Robert Sieman (https://newleafcenters.com/women/our-providers/dr/), saw just how powerful hormone replacement therapy can be, and decided to bring that power to his community.

Our Natural Hormone Therapy is incredibly powerful in combating the tell-tale symptoms of aging. The reason so many of us begin to feel old as we age is a decline in hormone production. Hormones control our bodily functions and mental well-being. Hormone replacement therapy gives us back our youth, literally.

“New Leaf should be renamed the fountain of youth! My wife and I started testosterone treatments at 71 and that sent us on our second honeymoon that was better than our first, 50 years ago!”

Weight Loss In 2023

Tirzepatide and Semaglutide can offer weight loss in 2023, through weekly injections. However, as many scramble to obtain these medications, the supply chain has made this difficult. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have three main mechanisms of action.

  1. They enhance the growth of beta cells in the pancreas, which are sites of insulin production. This means your body has improved control over blood sugar or decreased insulin resistance.
  2. Compounded Tirzepatide and Semaglutide markedly delay gastric emptying. The delay in gastric emptying can reduce appetite.
  3. Finally, both medications improve control of eating and reduce food cravings. The last mechanism is what many people appreciate the most, feeling less compulsion to eat or not eating as much.

What is the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide–GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means this medication works on two different receptors, GIP and GLP-1. The GIP receptors are activated to improve insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, satiety (feeling full), and fat burn (lipolysis). Simultaneously, the GLP-1 receptors are stimulated to decrease glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, and decrease appetite. Concurrent action on both GIP and GLP-1 produces weight loss, lowered cholesterol, and reduced cardiovascular risk for patients.

The dosing for compounded Tirzepatide starts at 2.5mg per week and increases based on the patient’s response. Thus dose increases with Tirzepatide are less frequent, once every 4-6 weeks on average. Semaglutide dosing starts at 0.25mg per week and increases weekly, based on the patients’ response. Both medications aim not to achieve the maximum dose but to have controlled, monitored, and safe weight loss with minimal side effects.

Based on clinical trials, patients using Tirzepatide or Semaglutide may experience:

  • Substantial A1C reductions
  • Increased weight loss
  • Improvements in cardiometabolic measures
  • Improved triglycerides levels
  • Reduced appetite
  • Decreased blood pressure
  • Improved insulin sensitivity

Semaglutide Weight Loss Program

Well, here we are again. Brand new year which means a new chapter in our book. And yet again, another New Year’s resolution to lose weight. It’s exhausting! You have tried all the diets, pills, and weight loss programs costing you hundreds of dollars to see little to no results. You see the posts on social media, the lectures from your doctor about the health risks associated with your weight, and even family and friends nagging you. As if you really want to have this extra weight to carry around. But what if this is the last time you write the weight loss chapter in your book of life? Semaglutide Weight Loss Program is a new program that is FDA-approved for weight loss and could be your answer to sustainable weight loss. It is a prescribed medication, and the results are based on biology.

Semaglutide Weight Loss Program

With the Semaglutide Weight Loss program, you can lose weight at home or with the help of our licensed medical professionals. After your initial consultation, you can talk to your medical professional virtually or go into the clinic for injections, weight checks, and advice. This program is designed to help you lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.

The prescriber and medical team titrate the dose as needed to maximize patient weight loss. In a trial that measured outcomes at 20 weeks, most participants reached the full dose and saw weight loss as dosages increased.

It is important to note that weight loss takes time. You will see the best results when using Semaglutide with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Semaglutide is one of the FDA-approved medications to help with blood sugar control and lower the risks of cardiovascular problems in people with type 2 diabetes and heart issues.

Semaglutide is safe and effective when used as prescribed. You may not qualify for the medication if you have a family history of certain thyroid cancers.

You start the dosage at the lowest dose, and the medication is injected subcutaneously into the belly every week. Your dose will be increased every 4 weeks until you reach a safe and effective maximum.

While You Are In The Semaglutide Program, You Will Want To:

  • Limit your sugar intake
  • Increase your water consumption
  • Inform your doctor of any new medications while taking Semaglutide
