More than weight loss.
It’s more than just a number on the scale. Obesity significantly increases the risk of serious health conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. If left untreated, obesity can also lead to reduced life expectancy, decreased quality of life, and complications such as joint pain, sleep apnea, and mental health challenges like depression and anxiety. Addressing obesity through medical weight loss, lifestyle changes, and professional support can help you prevent these long-term health risks.
What Are The Treatments?
Lifestyle Modifications
This is indicated for individuals with BMI of 25 to 29.9 without comorbidities. Examples of comorbidities includes diabetes, hypertension, liver disease, heart disease, and kidney disease.
Treatment could include restrictive or non-restrictive diets like intermittent fasting or prescriptive nutritional interventions as well as planned exercises. Individuals can expect 2% to 10% weight loss depending on the type of intervention.
Medications
- Semaglutide (Ozempic, wegovy, Rybelsus)
- Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, zepbound)
These medications, work by activating GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone receptors and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor only, while Tirzepatide activates both the GIP and GP-1. These medications interact with the appetite centers of the brain. This leads to appetite suppression, decreased gastric emptying, and increased satiety or fullness. These medications have also been found to decrease the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular deaths.
The choice of medication depends on your weight loss goals and how well you tolerate the medication. Finances also plays a major role as tirzepatide is more expensive given that it targets two receptors leading to greater weight loss.
