Become A Healthier You
Is extra weight holding you back from living each day to the fullest? You deserve a beautiful quality of life – to feel confident, healthy and empowered without fear of weight-related complications such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, or high blood pressure.
To support your health and weight loss journey, Healing House now offers two medical solutions called semaglutide and tirzepatide. These weight-loss medications work by improving insulin and glucose regulation and lowering fasting glucose/peak glucose levels after a meal.
Essentially, semaglutide/tirzepatide will help you control your hunger and the amount of food you intake while maintaining steady blood sugar – a key combination for healthy weight loss!
Semaglutide + Tirzepatide Benefits
NOTE: Although slightly more expensive, tirzepatide often works faster than semaglutide with less side effects. You’ll be given the option of either one.
- Weight management: Along with proper nutrition and exercise, Semagultide/Tirzepatide may help individuals shed desired excess fat and maintain a healthy weight.
- Blood sugar control: Semaglutide works to lower circulating blood glucose (sugar) by stimulating the production of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are once weekly injectable medications that you do from the comfort of your own home. We start you off with a 30 min appt in person or over video telemedicine, which includes labs, to understand your health history and goals. This also allows for us to educate on how to do your injections and answer any questions you may have prior to starting.
These weight-loss medications help with weight management by suppressing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, and reducing food intake. While they are primarily used to treat people with type 2 diabetes, in recent years, studies have shown they may also be beneficial for individuals who do not have diabetes, but are struggling with obesity.
In a clinical trial called the STEP program, researchers found that semaglutide, when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, helped people without diabetes lose more weight compared to those who received a placebo. Participants who took semaglutide lost a significant amount of weight and experienced improvements in other health markers such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Boost your Weight Loss
Enhance your weight loss experience with these optional add-ons:
MIC B12 (Fat Burner)
Studies have shown that "MIC B12" (a combination of methionine, inositol, choline) injections can be an effective addition to weight-loss plans. When used in conjunction with semaglutide/tirzepatide, proper diet and exercise, MIC B12 often helps individuals burn more fat, boost metabolism, increase energy and suppress appetite. We offer injections that can be administered in-clinic or at home.
MIC B12 + L-Carnitine
(Fat Burner Boost)
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a crucial role in the production of energy in the body. Because L-carnitine helps move more fatty acids into your cells to be burned for energy, it boosts your metabolism, immune system, energy levels and muscle recovery after a workout. It can be an effective addition to weight loss plans while also supporting healthy brain function! These injections can also be administered in-clinic or at home.
IV Therapy
IV therapy is a delivery method for fluid containing vitamins and minerals, or medication. We offer a variety of IV therapies to help you achieve your health and weight loss goals. From our Weight Loss Enhancer to NAD+, you can experience the benefits of IV therapy in our clinic or at home with our mobile IV service.
Dexa Scan
Although traditionally used to measure bone density, Dexa Scans (dual x-ray absorptiometry) are an effective way to measure body fat % vs muscle mass % in individuals. Tracking these measurements is important to ensure you are maintaining muscle mass while losing fat on your weight loss journey.
RMR Calculation
You will have the option to determine your RMR (resting metabolic rate), which is the amount of energy (calories) your body burns daily at rest. Taking this number into account on your weight loss journey helps ensure you are eating the proper amount of calories for your body to shed fat while maintaining muscle mass!
L-Carnitine Benefits
- L-Carnitine Burns Fat
With higher levels of L-carnitine, your body becomes more efficient at burning fat. Not only does this decrease the amount of fat that your body stores, but it also helps reduce visceral belly fat, the kind that surrounds your vital organs and potentially leads to fatty liver disease and other serious health conditions. - Get More Energy During and After Workouts
As your body’s capacity for fat-burning rises, so does your energy level. L-carnitine not only helps you increase the amount of fat burned with every workout, but you also get more energy for better workouts and an active lifestyle. - L-Carnitine Boosts Your Metabolism to Help You Loose Weight
Taking that energy increase into your exercise routine will allow you to perform with more intensity, providing a boost to your metabolism. A more efficient metabolism significantly aids your weight loss program because you’ll increase the amount of calories you’re able to burn—even at rest. - L-Carnitine Injections Enhance Recovery
L-carnitine helps reduce the buildup of lactic acid in your muscles. Muscle lactate buildup is responsible for pain and muscle fatigue after an intense workout. L-carnitine helps clear out the lactate so you recover more quickly and can get back to that fat-melting exercise that’s so central to your weight loss program.
- L-Carnitine Aids Your Immune System
In addition to the fat-burning and weight loss benefits of L-carnitine, it also aids the body’s immune system and functions as an effective antioxidant as well. How does this connect to your weight loss program? Easy: The better you feel, the more likely you are to put on your gym clothes on and get your body moving.
