Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used to improve blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, as well as assist with weight loss for overweight or obese adults. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists and works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Semaglutide helps the body produce more insulin when needed and decreases the amount of sugar released by the liver.
When used for weight loss, semaglutide curbs appetite and promotes fullness which can lead to eating less food and potentially losing weight over time. It is typically prescribed along with diet and exercise changes.
There are many potential benefits of using semaglutide injections for managing diabetes or losing weight:
Semaglutide injections may be an appropriate treatment option for:
People with certain medical conditions like diabetic retinopathy, thyroid cancer, or pancreatitis may not be suitable candidates. A doctor will determine if semaglutide is appropriate on a case-by-case basis.
Imbalances in hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, thyroid hormone cortisol and others can develop for many reasons. Some common causes include:
Symptoms depend on the specific hormone affected but may include fatigue, weight gain or loss, mood changes, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and more. Over time, hormone imbalances can negatively health and quality of life if left untreated.
Fortunately, custom hormone replacement therapy (HRT) aimed at restoring optimal hormone levels can effectively relieve deficiency symptoms. HRT is available in various forms like oral medications, pellet implants, patches, and injections.
Finding the right hormone therapy protocol is key - this means getting the necessary blood tests, choosing the most appropriate hormones and delivery methods, closely monitoring progress, and making dosage adjustments when needed.
The medical providers at Revive Hormone Clinic specialize in precision hormone therapy to get patients feeling healthy again.
Revive Hormone Clinic provides comprehensive hormone testing and replacement services to Crosby residents struggling with hormone deficiencies. Our clinic offers:
We understand the frustrations that hormonal issues can cause and seek to provide individualized care focused on restoring wellbeing from the inside out.
Some of the hormone therapies we commonly prescribed include:
Testosterone is crucial for muscle mass, bone health, mood regulation and more in both men and women. We offer testosterone replacement via injections, creams/gels and pellet implants.
Human growth hormone (HGH) promotes cell regeneration, tissue repair, bone strength, and lipid metabolism. HGH injections can be extremely beneficial for those with clinically low levels.
An underactive thyroid can cause weight gain, fatigue and sensitivity to cold. Thyroid hormone replacement using oral medications like levothyroxine may provide relief.
Cortisol helps control metabolism and the body's stress response. We prescribe hydrocortisone and other corticosteroids to treat deficiencies.
We also provide hormones like insulin, progesterone and DHEA when appropriate. Our providers work diligently to determine which hormones patients need more or less of to feel their best.
Dealing with hormone imbalance symptoms like unexplained weight gain, insomnia, and declining sex drive can be deeply frustrating. However, allowing these issues to persist long-term poses even greater health risks.
The endocrine system relies on proper hormone signals to keep the body's processes running smoothly. Imbalances can slowly impair the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and central nervous systems over months and years if not properly addressed.
Being proactive about diagnosis and treatment is key. By detecting deficiencies early and promptly initiating hormone replacement under medical supervision, patients can get their levels back on track before permanent, irreversible damage sets in.
With an individualized therapy protocol catered to one's unique needs, most deficiency symptoms resolve allowing people to regain their vitality, get healthy, and improve quality of life both now and well into the future.
Semaglutide is structurally similar to a human hormone called GLP-1. When injected weekly, it helps lower blood sugar levels and A1C in a unique way by slowing food digestion and decreasing appetite. This new class of medication provides another treatment option for managing type 2 diabetes.
Small community of Crosby provides comfortable conditions for hormone replacement therapy. There are lovely natural areas, parks, and walking trails to enjoy year-round. The peaceful, scenic environment is also ideal for reducing stress and supporting mental health - an important aspect of holistic wellness.
We recommend patients consider incorporating the following into their lifestyles during treatment:
Nutrition can impact how efficiently the body utilizes replacement hormones. Focus on getting more high quality proteins, healthy fats and micronutrient-rich vegetables in your diet. Some excellent local restaurants in Crosby area serving delicious balanced meals are The Flame Broiler, Colors Vegan Kitchen, and Organixx Juice Bar.
Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week along with twice weekly strength training sessions. This helps hormones work more effectively throughout treatment. Nearby facilities like Energy Fitness Center, F45 Training Crosby and the Crosby Hike and Bike Trails offer great workout options.
Finding healthy ways to cope with life's stresses supports overall wellness. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation or deep breathing daily. Maintain social connections and partake in enjoyable hobbies. Getting adequate sleep is also key. A few local spas like Serene Moon Wellness Spa, Hand & Stone Massage, and Crosby Salt Cave provide soothing spa services to aid relaxation.
Following these simple recommendations gives hormone therapy the best chance of success! Let our experienced staff at Revive Hormone Clinic help you rebalance your hormones.
