Vitality Renewal Clinic is a leading provider of semaglutide injections and other cutting-edge hormone therapies in Navarre. We specialize in using bioidentical hormones and targeted medications like semaglutide to help patients overcome hormone deficiencies and improve health.
Semaglutide is an exciting new medication used for treating obesity and controlling blood sugar in diabetes. It is changing lives by helping patients achieve substantial, sustained weight loss with relatively few side effects.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the appetite-reducing hormone GLP-1. It sends signals to the brain to reduce hunger while increasing feelings of fullness after eating. By dampening appetite and calorie intake, it enables easier weight loss.
The branded version of semaglutide, Ozempic, is administered as a weekly injection. The effects build up over many weeks, helping patients form new, healthier eating habits.
Compounded semaglutide from specialty pharmacies like Vitality Renewal Clinic provides access to semaglutide at more affordable prices. Our experienced clinicians optimize dosing and treatment plans for each patient’s unique needs.
Imbalances in hormones like insulin, cortisol and hormones that regulate hunger can make losing weight extremely difficult. People with hormone disorders like diabetes or Cushing’s syndrome tend to carry excess fat in the abdomen and have voracious appetites.
Semaglutide helps overcome hormone-driven obesity by directly reducing appetite and food intake. This effect is enhanced by correcting deficiencies in hormones like testosterone, thyroid hormone and growth hormone through replacement therapy.
In multiple large clinical trials, semaglutide has helped patients achieve 15-20% body weight reduction along with major improvements in cardiovascular risk factors.
Beyond dramatic fat loss, benefits of semaglutide include:
With counseling on lifestyle choices, these benefits continue well beyond the treatment period. Through reduced calorie intake and forming new habits, semaglutide empowers weight loss and better health.
Since hormone imbalance is a key driver of obesity, we screen patients for deficiencies before creating customized treatment plans.
Common hormones that become deficient, especially with aging, include:
Plummeting testosterone levels in men correlates strongly with accumulation of abdominal fat. Even for men whose total testosterone remains normal, deficiencies in free testosterone – the active form not bound to proteins – is strongly linked to obesity.
Symptoms of low testosterone (low T) extend far beyond weight gain and include low energy, reduced muscle mass, depression, irritability and low libido.
At Vitality Renewal Clinic we test total and free testosterone, estrogen levels and other key hormones in men starting at age 35. Catching and correcting low T is crucial for supporting weight loss.
One of the most common and overlooked causes of weight gain is low thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). Over 10% of women and 2% of men suffer from an underactive thyroid. The percentage grows higher with age.
Symptoms include fatigue, sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, depression, muscle cramps and weight gain. Even subtle reductions in thyroid activity (subclinical hypothyroidism) make losing weight nearly impossible.
We screen thyroid hormone levels and antibodies and provide thyroid replacement if merited. Along with proper thyroid treatment, semaglutide helps patients finally shed excess pounds that accumulated due to low thyroid.
Growth hormone levels plummet even in middle age, with the average 60 year old having 75% less growth hormone than younger adults. The enormous drop in this crucial hormone leads to increased belly fat, muscle loss, thinner skin and reduced collagen production.
At Vitality Renewal Clinic we test insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels to screen for growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Our specialized hormone restoration regimens incorporating semaglutide help patients lose fat while building muscle for better body composition.
Skyrocketing rates of prediabetes and diabetes correlate with excessive weight gain, especially in the abdomen. Insulin resistance, where the body fails to respond properly to insulin, packs fat into muscle tissue and organs. This fat causes inflammation driving numerous diseases.
We provide advanced testing of insulin, blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c and inflammation. For patients with elevated blood sugar and A1c levels, addressing insulin resistance is crucial before progress can be made losing weight. Semaglutide excels at lowering insulin resistance.
While semaglutide itself can produce impressive results, optimizing the benefits requires a thorough understanding of the complex web regulating metabolism, hunger signaling pathways and body composition.
We dig deeper through advanced hormone testing and analyzing factors including genetics, diet, lifestyle stresses, sleep quality and exercise patterns in developing customized interventions.
After assessing the causes of hormone dysfunction, we create tailored regimens of bioidentical hormones and targeted medications like semaglutide. Follow-ups and medication adjustments ensure maximum benefits. We also provide counseling on optimal nutrition, movement, sleep and stress reduction for long-term success.
Below summarizes key elements of our step-by-step process:
- Monitoring symptoms and side effects - Body composition testing - Lab testing to ensure optimal hormone levels - Adjust medications based on response
We partner with patients through every phase of treatment to provide fully individualized therapy for life-changing results.
Adequately addressing deficiencies in fat-regulating hormones provides enormous benefits extending far beyond supporting easier weight loss.
Balancing key hormones to optimal levels reduces inflammation which drives higher risk for virtually every major disease killing Americans today. These include:
Correcting deficiencies not only helps you live longer – it helps you live better by:
Hormone optimization restores vibrancy you thought was gone forever. It enables building lean muscle which burns more calories 24/7. With treatments like semaglutide facilitating fat loss, rebalancing hormones enhances keeping weight off long-term.
Semaglutide is structurally very similar to the human hormone GLP-1. When injected, it helps lower blood sugar levels and body weight by mimicking how natural GLP-1 works after a meal to stimulate insulin secretion and suppress appetite. Yet it was originally discovered in the venom of a species of Gila monster lizard rather than in humans directly.
We provide comprehensive counseling on nutrition, exercise, stress management and sleep hygiene to help patients achieve maximal, sustained benefits from treatment.
Below summarizes key lifestyle factors influencing hormone levels and treatment success:
Adopting sustainable healthy lifestyle upgrades enhances the benefits of hormone optimization therapy leading to substantial improvements in body composition, energy levels, physical and mental health that continue well beyond active treatment.
