There are a lot of popular theories and fads out there about the best, fastest and most effective methods of losing weight. You've probably tried some of them and have maybe even seen some results. But if you're like most people, the weight probably keeps coming back.
In an article for Scientific American, Daniel Engber writes, "Research suggests that roughly 80% of people who shed a significant portion of their body fat will not maintain that degree of weight loss for 12 months; and, according to one meta-analysis of intervention studies, dieters regain, on average, more than half of what they lose within two years."
The problem is that long-term weight loss is a process and healthy habits require work — and sometimes extra help — to maintain. Some studies, including one published by the National Institutes of Health, have found that medically supervised weight management programs are more effective if you're looking for long-lasting results.
If you struggle with weight loss, Trilogy Medical Center offers medically-supported weight loss methods to help you achieve — and maintain — a healthier you.
Weight loss options and side effects
When it comes to medical weight loss options, Trilogy Medical Center offers multiple cutting-edge solutions to help you get safe, effective results. Two of these are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections.
Semaglutide medical weight loss injections work by making you feel fuller and less hungry. This makes it easier to control your cravings and urges to overeat. Scientifically speaking, Semaglutide is similar to a hormone produced inside the small intestine and it lowers blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon secretion.
"Doctors have described this peptide's effectiveness as two times greater than any prescription weight loss product currently offered on the market, compared with gastric bypass surgery," Trilogy Medical Center's website states.
"Obese or overweight adults taking semaglutide weekly lost an average of 14.9% of their weight. According to results from the semaglutide trial, 32% of the participants lost at least 20% of their initial weight."
You may not have heard about tirzeptitide as it's newer than semaglutide. It's not something to sleep on, though! According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, these injections "provided substantial and sustained reductions in body weight."
According to Lauren Muir, NP with Trilogy Medical Center, it's often times more effective than semaglutide.
As with any medical trial or procedure, it may not be right for everyone. But if you're curious to see if it could work for you, call 801-747-2273 and schedule a consultation with one of Trilogy Medical's providers.
Tighten skin without surgery
Another way Trilogy Medical Center is helping people achieve their weight loss goals and get comfortable in their own skin is with their Sylfirm X and Morpheus8 machines.
Sylfirm X is the world's first Food and Drug Administration-approved pulsed wave and continuous wave radio frequency microneedling system. This minimally invasive machine helps rejuvenate skin and tighten it after weight loss. Through 25 different clinical studies, it's been proven effective and safe. Morpheus8 operates in a similar way to help tighten and rejuvenate skin without surgery.
Whether you're just starting your weight loss journey or you're struggling with loose skin after weight loss, the highly-trained professionals at Trilogy Medical Center are focused on helping you get the results you want as safely as possible.
Maintain your healthier lifestyle
If you wonder why many people struggle to keep excess weight off, it's because they're not equipped with adequate tools to help them succeed in the long run. One study published on PubMed Central says, "Treatment of obesity requires ongoing clinical attention and weight maintenance-specific counseling to support sustainable healthful behaviors and positive weight regulation."
Trilogy Medical Center treats weight loss as a journey and not a one-time event. Instead of merely administering your treatment and sending you on your way, you'll have regular checkups and follow-ups with their nurse practitioner — Lauren Muir.
You may be considering seeking medical weight loss because the excess fat on your body is the symptom you see when you look in the mirror. But what you don't see are the underlying issues that are causing your body to hold on to excess fat," Muir states.
You may also be experiencing brain fog, difficulty sleeping, low energy, etc. Muir says you'll discuss all of your symptoms in treatment — not just weight problems. She'll help you ensure that you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle while still achieving weight loss goals.
"Let me help you get back to looking and feeling your best and maintaining those results long-term," Muir says.
