Where others fail, we succeed. We have several patients that have been through other programs, put on a dosing schedule, and left to figure it out on their own. Some patients benefit from this method, but many do not. Studies show that up to 80% of people in a weight loss program stop participating and never reach their goal weight. Sometimes the dose is suboptimal, and the patient discontinues treatment because of lack of success. Some patients are unable to handle the side effects because their initial dose was too high. A substantial number of these patients have placed their trust in us to resume their weight loss journey and have subsequently achieved success.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide compounds are prescribed to our clients on an individual basis from the compounding pharmacy.
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are available for purchase at Renew Aesthetics and Wellness. We currently offer Stelo by Dexcom. CGMs are not only for diabetics. There is a strong association between blood sugar levels and being overweight or obese. Therefore, we offer Stelo to anyone who wants to be able to monitor their own blood glucose levels to assist with their weight loss or to those that just want to be more in tune with their body.
There are a multitude of other peptides that are being studied to assist or stimulate visceral (abdominal) weight loss. Renew can tailor recommendations based on individual client issues and make these available.
Renew Aesthetics and Wellness understands the importance of exercise as an adjunct to weight loss. Our patient education page on exercise explains this in detail. Although we do not directly provide specific exercise prescriptions, we can recommend a personal trainer to assist clients.
We are also aware of the importance that nutrition plays in weight loss and maintenance. We provide some basic education through our patient portal. However, we can refer you to a registered dietician for specific nutritional guidance and treatment.
Weight Loss labs include CBC, CMP, Fasting Lipids, A1c, Thyroid labs, fasting insulin, and vitamin D. If you have them, bring them. If not, then we will order them. Labs are a baseline and can identify abnormalities and deficiencies.
