Medical Weight Loss: Which Program is Best for Me?

Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach that quickly works for everyone regarding weight loss. Each woman’s body, metabolism, and lifestyle are unique, so finding a program that works for you is important.
At Luxe Women’s Health, Jennifer Wright-Bennion, CNM, APRN, and our entire team in Queen Creek, Arizona, understand that weight loss can be a real challenge. Therefore, we offer various medically supervised programs tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Let’s explore three popular options: semaglutide, hCG, and phentermine. We’ll also touch on how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can play a role in weight management, especially if you’re nearing or already in menopause.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is all the rage right now, and for good reason. It’s a newer, injectable medication developed to help manage type 2 diabetes and also provides great weight loss results.
It works by mimicking a hormone your body makes to regulate blood sugar called GLP-1. Lowering your insulin spikes and blood sugar reduces your hunger and cravings, so you eat less. Semaglutide is a game changer if you’re struggling with sugar cravings or insulin resistance.
We work with you to pair your semaglutide injections with diet and exercise guidance and support to optimize your results.
hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)
hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a pregnancy hormone that also helps with weight loss. hCG is time-tested and helps burn fat fast, especially from stubborn areas like your stomach, hips, flanks, and thighs.
We structure your hCG weight loss program in phases, which include a strict, calorie-restricted diet and daily hCG injections. Jennifer works closely with you during the process to ensure your nutritional needs are being met while you’re losing weight rapidly.
Phentermine
Jennifer prescribes Phentermine, a weight loss medication to help suppress your appetite. It works by stimulating the release of chemicals in your brain that minimize hunger signals, so it’s a lot easier to stick to the recommended calorie-controlled diet.
Jennifer recommends phentermine for short-term use only, making it the perfect solution for those who need help jumpstarting their weight loss journey.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and weight loss
The fluctuating hormones you’re experiencing during perimenopause or menopause can cause you to gain weight - and it feels almost impossible to lose it. That’s where hormone replacement therapy can really help. Jennifer works with you to get your dosage just right to balance your hormones, alleviating hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. HRT also supports weight loss by boosting your metabolism and reducing the accumulation of your belly fat.
HRT isn’t a weight loss treatment on its own, but when used in conjunction with lifestyle changes, it can be a helpful tool in achieving your weight loss goals.
Personalized consultations
Choosing the right weight loss program depends on your unique health needs, current habits, and goals. Jennifer is passionate about helping you achieve vibrant health and offers personalized consultations to help you choose a long-term weight loss plan.
