Lose weight to feel great again

Fad diets and weight loss supplements promising dramatic fat loss are usually oversold and cause people frustration nationwide. But coaches also say calories in, calories out and deficits to lose weight, right? Well, many patients have told us where they've become frustrated because they've restricted calories only to find the weight not dropping. So what do they do?

Men and women may not be losing weight due to various underlying causes such as hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, diet, or overall lifestyle habits. The last two are usually where most people start and then they give up if fat loss isn't seen. Medical weight loss helps patients take it one step further where Tonik uses that latest advances in medicine to achieve optimal fat loss.

Insulin resistance is when the body can no longer process sugars and insulin isn't as effective in the body. This causes more sugars to stay within the blood leading to accumulation of fat or even eventually diabetes. It is extremely important to address insulin resistance in an effective manner. Medical weight loss can help bring back some of that insulin sensitivity to better process sugars.

Medications used for treatment of obesity or even general fat loss can include Semaglutide, Metformin, Lipo-C, Ipamorelin / Sermorelin, and more. Semaglutide has become extremely popular as a GLP-1 agonist where it tells the body it is full. It is extremely effective at appetite suppression where meal portions become much smaller and the urge to eat is lessened considerably. This causes a rebalancing in the body of nutrients and in trials, patients on Semaglutide saw a drop of up to 15% of their body weight.

There are many options for you to consider when taking your medical weight loss journey into your own hands. Diet, integration of habits like intermittent fasting, and rebalancing your body's hormones all play a role in weigh loss. Lose fat, feel better, and increase lifespan by bringing the body back into homeostasis.
