Why this medically supervised weight loss plan works
Successful weight loss depends on four pillars of management:
- Diet
- Physical Activity
- Emotional Wellness
- Medical Management
The online Rewire curriculum guides participants through proper dietary changes, advice on physical activity, and behavior modification. Each week, participants will learn a new lesson that focuses on one or more of these pillars. The goal of medical management is to help individuals achieve weight loss of 5% at 12 weeks. While prescription weight loss can be very effective, the other factors must be addressed to allow for goal achievement and maintenance of weight loss.
Lose weight and keep it off with Semaglutide
We also prescribe Semaglutide as part of our program for weight loss in Palm Coast, FL. Semaglutide is a medication originally used to treat type 2 diabetes, but recent studies have shown its effectiveness in promoting weight loss. It works by mimicking the effects of a hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. When combined with lifestyle changes, Semaglutide can help you lose weight and maintain your progress long-term. Its ability to reduce hunger and improve satiety makes it a valuable tool in achieving sustainable weight loss goals.
The unique benefits of Semaglutide medications:
- Decreases appetite and food intake
- Slows gastric emptying, leading to increased feelings of fullness
- Improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control
- Promotes loss of fat mass while preserving lean body mass
- Increases energy expenditure
- Helps achieve sustainable weight loss

- Administered as a convenient once-weekly injectable
Weight loss add-on options:
Bioidentical Hormone Optimization
Hormone optimization with bioidentical testosterone can assist in weight reduction by increasing energy and lean muscle, which in turn increases metabolism. Thyroid hormone optimization also has a direct impact on metabolism.
Lipo (MIC) and B12 Injections
Lipo shots contain vitamin B12, B-complex, and the amino acids methionine, inositol, and choline. This combination of ingredients is fat-burning in nature and increases energy. B12 shots may be administered separately and may improve metabolism and energy to aid in your weight loss in Palm Coast, FL.
Weight loss FAQs
What causes unhealthy weight gain?
Several factors contribute to unhealthy weight gain, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While you can’t control or change your genetic makeup, you can take steps to prevent, manage, or even cure chronic diseases through a healthy lifestyle.
How does Semaglutide induce weight loss?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that aids weight loss through multiple mechanisms. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates hunger, glucose metabolism, and appetite. When Semaglutide is administered, it activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain, leading to decreased appetite and food intake. Additionally, GLP-1 receptor activation slows down gastric emptying, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing the urge to eat. As such, Semaglutide allows you to stick to low-calorie diets without persistent hunger pangs therefore aiding in weight loss in Palm Coast, FL.
How much weight can I lose with Semaglutide?
You can expect to lose weight steadily with Semaglutide, typically averaging around 5-10% of your initial body weight within the first few months of treatment. However, individual results may vary. It’s essential to remember that sustainable weight loss is gradual and varies depending on factors such as adherence to the treatment plan, lifestyle changes, and metabolic differences. Beyond the initial weight loss, Semaglutide can also help you maintain your desired weight by curbing appetite and persistent hunger pangs.
How can I lose excess weight?
Shifting to a healthier diet and more active lifestyle go a long way toward promoting weight control. Helpful dietary strategies may include:
- Swapping out refined starches, such as white bread, with whole-grain alternatives
- Eating more fruits and vegetables
- Choosing lean protein sources, such as fish and tofu, over fatty meats
- Eating mindfully
- Staying well-hydrated
- Learning to healthfully control food portions
- Managing stress
- Aiming for sufficient nightly sleep
- Maintaining an active lifestyle (to have fun in the process, make the activity enjoyable by adding music, walking with a friend, or trying a variety of classes)
How can a food journal help?
Tracking your daily diet in a journal, app, or document on your computer can enhance weight control by increasing awareness. The more aware you are of your behaviors, the more likely you’ll be to address those that need improvement. A food journal also provides a useful tool for nutrition consultations, allowing Amy Coopersmith to assess your habits accurately and provide effective shifts. For best results, aim for honesty and track your food and drink intake throughout the day rather than trying to remember later.
Thinking about weight loss surgery?
Bariatric surgery, also referred to as weight loss surgery, is an effective treatment for obesity that can reverse some obesity-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea, among others.
