Can weight loss management reduce my risk of other health problems?

Yes. Studies show that being overweight increases the risk of various health problems, including:

  • Arthritis
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • High cholesterol
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Certain types of cancer
  • Stroke
  • Back pain

Struggling to maintaining a healthy weight increases your risk of behavioral conditions, including anxiety and depression.

Weight loss management provides a safe and effective way to lose weight. Instead of relying on yo-yo dieting and other fads, it emphasizes healthy lifestyle changes, allowing you to make lasting progress.

What does weight loss management include?

At Peculiar Wellness Center, the providers tailor weight loss management programs to each individual’s needs. Often, treatment includes:

Nutrition education

Losing weight requires you to change your relationship with food. You must make a concerted effort to eat healthily rather than relying on empty calories.

Peculiar Wellness Center recommends eating a balanced and nutritious diet with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains.

Exercise guidance

Eating a nutritious diet is the first step toward lasting weight loss. But to maintain your progress, you need to burn calories daily.

Peculiar Wellness Center encourages all adults to exercise for at least 150 minutes weekly (or about 30 minutes daily). Your provider can make recommendations that align with your abilities and fitness level. That might include walking, cycling, swimming, or strength training.

GLP-1 Injections for Weight Management & Metabolic Health

What Are GLP-1 Injections?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) injections are a class of medications that help regulate blood sugar levels and support weight management. These injections work by increasing insulin production, lowering glucagon secretion, and targeting areas in the brain that control appetite and food intake. A small modification in the medication allows it to stay active in the body for weeks, compared to the natural GLP-1 our bodies produce, which only lasts a few minutes.

How Do GLP-1 Injections Work?

These medications work in several ways to support weight loss and improve blood sugar control:

  • Slowing down how quickly food leaves the stomach, helping you feel fuller longer and satisfied with smaller portions.
  • Reduce intestinal motility, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness after meals.
  • Lower blood sugar levels by decreasing sugar production in the liver.
  • Stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin when needed.
  • In some GLP-1 injections, there is an additional action to increase energy expenditure, which may further support weight loss.

Benefits of GLP-1 Injections

  • Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
  • Support for weight loss goals
  • Improved blood sugar control (A1C reduction)
  • Potential improvement in cardiometabolic health markers

Common Side Effects & Precautions

The most commonly reported side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Constipation

Some patients may also experience:

  • Acid reflux
  • Stomach pain
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea

These medications are not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, a history of pancreatitis, or known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

Patients with a history of hypoglycemia, kidney problems, or allergic reactions should discuss these risks with their provider before starting treatment.

Liquid Lipo (Mesotherapy)

PCDC, or phosphatidylcholine deoxycholic acid, is a fat-dissolving procedure for localized stubborn fat areas. The solution works to break down stubborn fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. This non-surgical procedure breaks down fat cells in targeted areas, resulting in a slimmer and more toned appearance. One of the best things about PCDC is that it does not contain harmful substances, as deoxycholic acid naturally occurs in the body.
The older you get, the harder it is to lose weight, particularly in certain body areas. Peculiar Wellness Center might prescribe medication if diet and exercise aren’t enough to help you achieve your goals. The providers offer oral medication and injectable LipoDissolve™ to treat localized, stubborn body fat.

Other Weight Loss Injections

Lipotropic injections (Lipo Stat, Lipo-Mino, MICC).

A combination of lipotropic ingredients may help break down fat in your liver. Customized lipo-amino injections can help you reach your weight-loss goals by speeding up your metabolism and eliminating fat. Lipotropic injections are packed with substances that benefit your overall health and well-being and aid in weight management.

Lipotropic injections and Vitamin B12

A combination of lipotropic ingredients may help break down fat in your liver. Customized lipo-amino injections can help you reach your weight-loss goals by speeding up your metabolism and eliminating fat. Lipotropic injections are packed with substances that benefit your overall health and well-being and aid in weight management.

MICC Shot:

Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MICC). Methionine is an amino acid that helps your body process fat through your liver. MICC injections help you:

  • Burn Fat
  • Increase Energy
  • Lose Weight
  • Appetite suppression
  • Endurance and Stamina
  • Better Mood

● Inositol, which possibly supports metabolism and reduces cholesterol
● Choline is a nutrient that possibly helps redistribute cholesterol so it doesn’t build up in your system
● Vitamin B12, an essential vitamin that possibly works with metabolism, helps detoxify your body and boosts energy levels.

How long does weight loss management take?

Weight loss management time depends on several factors, including your goals and commitment to the treatment plan. Most people lose at least five pounds during the first four weeks*, but it might take longer. Follow your Peculiar Wellness Center provider’s instructions to ensure a positive outcome.

Attend each of your check-ups, take your medication as prescribed, and adhere to your nutrition plan. The more closely you follow your provider’s guidelines, the quicker you’ll see positive results.
