Weight Loss Hormone Balance Program

These include two new treatments for sustained weight loss:

• OZEMPIC (known as Wegovy or Semaglutide)
• MOUNJARO (trade name for tirzepatide)
  
  

Clinical studies have shown a weight loss of up to 20% of body weight, resulting in the loss of about 27 pounds in 6 months. They slow down the emptying of food from your stomach and suppress appetite. You will feel “full” for a longer period of time. They can eliminate the cravings that limit your ability to diet and lose weight. 

The widespread adoption of these meds attests to their effectiveness. They mimic a natural hormone GLP-1, which is released after eating. As a result, they are remarkably effective for weight loss, cravings, and appetite suppression.

The body’s chemical messengers are the hormones that circulate in our system. They control metabolism, sex drive, hunger, and weight loss. Dr. Brody has studied the effects of hormonal weight challenges. He is Board-certified in the specialty of Endocrinology & Metabolism, and Fellowship trained in Reproductive Endocrinology.

With an array of effective weight-management medications, Dr. Brody can customize a weight-loss hormone program that targets your specific hormonal needs. Call 858-216-2096, or schedule an appointment online today to learn more.

What is a weight-loss hormone program?

A weight-loss hormone program is a specialized approach to weight management that focuses on regulating and optimizing the body's hormonal balance to promote sustainable weight loss. Dr. Brody will determine your hormone status and optimize a regimen that is unique to your own metabolism. 

Hormones play a crucial role in weight management. Many hormones help regulate weight, including leptin, insulin, estrogen, and androgens. These hormones control appetite, fat storage, and metabolism. When hormones become imbalanced, losing weight can become more challenging.  

Who is a candidate for a weight-loss hormone program?

Candidates for a weight-loss hormone program typically include individuals who:

• Struggle with excess weight
• Have tried traditional weight-loss methods without significant success
• Exhibit signs of hormonal imbalances, such as insulin resistance or thyroid issues
