During digestion, incretin hormones are dispersed throughout the body and send signals to the brain to trigger insulin production, which helps lower blood sugar. As that occurs, incretin hormones slow down the body’s gastric emptying, so food takes longer to leave your stomach. In doing so, the hormones help to keep your appetite satisfied as they work to decrease your blood sugar intake. Medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are typically produced in certain dosages and work to mimic the effects of the GLP-1 hormone over a prescribed amount of time. These medical weight loss options have been tested and found to be very effective for adults with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e3) Do You Still Have To Diet and Exercise?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eIt is essential to stick to an exercise routine while using weight loss injectables. Even though the medications are proven to help with weight management, they are not a miracle cure for weight loss. Combining these weight loss treatments with a balanced diet, consistent sleep schedule and exercise regimen can significantly improve your results. You will need to eat a “clean” diet of nutrient-dense foods and proteins. As you start to eat healthier foods, you will feel more energetic and uplifted. We highly recommend drinking at least 80 ounces of water per day to avoid dehydration, and adding consistent exercise to your lifestyle. As you lose weight, and depending on how much you lose, you may lose muscle mass along with fat. Ensuring you get regular exercise  will help you lose weight while maintaining healthy levels of strong muscle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e4) Who Is the Best Candidate To Receive Weight L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eoss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e Injectables?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eA typical dose can be used by anyone suffering from obesity, regardless of ethnicity, age, or BMI.

Patients will need to commit to at least 6 weeks of treatment to begin our program, returning weekly for continued evaluation and injections. Pricing as shown reflects the regular increase in dosage as patients progress through their treatment. Continued treatment beyond patients' selected program will be charged based on dosage and number of weeks of additional commitment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"free-virtual-consultation-for-weight-loss","title":"FREE Virtual Consultation for Weight Loss","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"comp-lk5vy27k\" class=\"Z_l5lU ku3DBC zQ9jDz qvSjx3 Vq6kJx comp-lk5vy27k wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font_2 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eFree Virtual Consultation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-lk5vzzza\" class=\"Z_l5lU ku3DBC zQ9jDz qvSjx3 Vq6kJx comp-lk5vzzza wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font_3 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e**Injections May Not Be Purchased Until Consultation Is Completed To Ensure Patient Suitability Prior to Purchase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAfter the suitability consultation and appointment for weekly Semiglutide OR Tirzapeptide injections can be scheduled\/purchased.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hidration IV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51069514907959,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/2131\/7943\/files\/female-doctor-in-her-office-talking-on-the-phone-infront-of-a-computer.png?v=1756482580"},{"product_id":"semaglutide-injection","title":"Semaglutide Injection","description":"\u003cp\u003e30 Minute Appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/press-announcements\/fda-approves-new-drug-treatment-chronic-weight-management-first-2014\" title=\"Visit the FDA's Approval of Semaglutide for Weight Loss  here\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/press-announcements\/fda-approves-new-drug-treatment-chronic-weight-management-first-2014\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hidration IV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51069552853303,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/2131\/7943\/files\/Best_Botox.avif?v=1756421400"},{"product_id":"tirzepatide-injection","title":"Tirzepatide Injection","description":"\u003cp\u003e30 Minute Session\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hidration IV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51069557080375,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/2131\/7943\/files\/Best_Botox.avif?v=1756421400"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/2131\/7943\/collections\/wepik-export-20230626022848sGpM.png?v=1756427974","url":"https:\/\/hidrationiv.com\/collections\/medical-weight-loss.oembed","provider":"vibewellnessvb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
