HOW THE GLP-1 & WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM WORKS

1. Have an in office/telemed weight loss appointment with one of our nurse practitioners to discuss goals, past failures and take a comprehensive look at your health. At that time you and the provider will discuss if and when medication is a benefit keeping in mind the best and safest option.

2. After discussing the specific treatment plan we will prescribe your medication.

3. Start your regimen by picking up your prescription completed your pharmacy or by our partners at Ivy Specialty Compound Pharmacy and receive an in-clinic instruction. If you are on a GLP-1, you will also leave with a take home information/supply packet containing a video by Ivy Compound Pharmacy on how to draw up and injection your prescription.

4. Check in monthly with staff for a weight check, discuss progress/side effects and restock on any needed supplies.

5. At the end of 3 months, have a follow up visit with a provider to discuss progress, refills and a maintenance plan that is optimizing your health and wellness.

Exercise

30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week….Are you doing it? We all have our favorite routine but please just get moving! Cardio is always a plus for heart health but to improve muscle strength, stimulate your metabolism, and build bone you need weight bearing activities like weight lifting. Find the balance and what is right for you. Mix it up. Have a friend keep you motivated. And most of all, see it as a must in your life! Exercise makes happy hormones, helps detox, clears your mind and keeps you feeling good in your clothes.

Diet

We live in West Texas and South Eastern New Mexico where the food is heavy and the portions are served big! Fad diet systems will always be there to help you get on track but focus on lifestyle modifications and your relationship with food first! There are no cheat days. Own what you eat daily. If you have planned and portioned yourself appropriately, feel proud of your choices. If you have just done what in the past you would call a “cheat day,” own it and go do the things to burn it off and adjust the following meals! Its all about balance! Understand portion sizes, calorie intake, good and bad fats and limit carbohydrates in a healthy way. Have a good relationship with food. Most days you should be eating to live, not living to eat. When the relationship with food is healthy, family gatherings and food splurges can be enjoyable without the horrible remorse following!
