Weight Loss Management
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 3 adults, 2 in 5 young adults, and 1 in 5 children suffer from obesity. Obesity is significantly associated with the leading causes of death, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. It increases the risk for breathing issues, such as asthma and obstructive sleep apnea; joint problems, such as osteoarthritis, muscle and bone pain and discomfort; and gastrointestinal issues, such as gallstones and gallbladder disease. Obesity leads to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and lower quality of life.
When addressing obesity, it is important to acknowledge that obesity is not only caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, such as poor eating habits, low physical activity, and insufficient sleep. It is also caused by genetic and familial factors, as well as psychosocial factors.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide belongs to the drug class, glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating. It tells the body to make more insulin, which reduces blood glucose. It aids in weight loss because it targets parts of the brain that reduce appetite and signal a feeling of fullness. It has shown unparalleled success in weight loss. It is important to note that just like any other medication, it is not without any side effects or adverse effects. Monitoring during treatment is important.
At Reboot Health, your appropriateness for semaglutide prior to treatment is assessed. You are also monitored during treatment, and advised to stop, whether due to side effects or adverse effects, or because you are ready for a medication-free maintenance strategy.
The pricing for semaglutide treatment is $200 for the first 3 months, then $240-350 per month depending on which maintenance dose works for you. However, if you sign up for 3 months, then the price is reduced to $175 per month. A $100 consultation fee is required before starting treatment. This includes an overall health screening. Monitoring during treatment is included in the monthly price, except for periodic blood work and thorough assessments.
Naltrexone/Sermorelin/Lipo-Trim SL
There are studies that show that sugar is 8-10x more addictive than cocaine. Withdrawal symptoms, such as depression and behavioral issues, are seen when people try to stop consuming sugar completely. Excessive sugar consumption is linked to type 2 diabetes and obesity. Sugar attacks the vascular system, putting one at risk for stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
For sugar lovers, Reboot Health offers a sugar addict weight loss therapy (SAWLT). It is composed of 3 drug combinations: namely; (1) low-dose naltrexone, sermorelin, and lipo-trim SL. SAWLT does not diminish or alter your sense of taste for sugar, so you can still enjoy your favorite in food, just in moderation.
Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) helps suppress carbs and sugar cravings. It may also decrease insulin levels, which can improve growth hormone levels. Growth hormone helps the body burn fat and maintain lean muscle mass. LDN reduces insulin resistance. In some studies, LDN has been shown to reduce overall inflammation throughout the body. LDN also improves mood and improves sleep.
Sermorelin is a subcutaneous nightly injection. It stimulates the pituitary to produce more of your own body’s growth hormone. Growth hormone production drops naturally as we age. As mentioned before, growth hormone can increase the development of lean body mass through the development of new muscle cells. The last drug in the SAWLT is the lipo-trim SL, which is a daily sublingual oral spray, which includes a combination of amino acids and B vitamins.
Lipo-trim SL is known to help the body convert fat into energy, also helps reduce cravings, and can help support the immune system.
The price for SAWLT is $175 per month. However, the price is reduced to $160 per month if you sign up for 6 months. Monitoring during treatment is included in the monthly price, except for periodic blood work and thorough assessments.
Oral medications
Reboot Health also offers other traditional oral medication options for weight loss, such as phentermine, phentermine-topiramate combo, orlistat, and metformin. Monthly monitoring is required. Monthly follow-up appointment is charged out-of-pocket at $100. Medications will be prescribed, and insurance usually covers them.
