Healthy Weight Loss Strategies While on Medication
The following guidelines will help ensure healthy weight loss while on the program:
- Limit processed foods (especially those with added sugars), avoid drinking your calories (like soda) unless you’re supplementing with smoothies, and eat smaller portioned meals which can also help with reducing nausea from this medication as well.
- Artificial sweeteners have been shown to be associated with excessive body weight despite being labeled as ‘zero calories.’ It’s best to avoid these as well.
- It’s important to exercise most days out of the week for a minimum of 150 minutes of exercise split between these days. Weight loss regimens not only cause you to lose fat mass but also lean mass (muscle and bone). It is important to develop a routine of both cardio and resistance training to help build lean muscle mass.
- Ensure that you’re staying well hydrated as dehydration can be a complication with weight loss medications.
- Maintain adequate sleep which is very important for your overall mental and physical health.
Important Guidelines for Using Semaglutide / Tirzepatide Safely and Effectively
- Establish a relationship with a primary care doctor and make sure they have all your healthcare information including this visit. If you do not have insurance you can find a low cost doctor at findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov
- Semaglutide is to be used together with behavioral and dietary changes for the treatment of obesity. Most common side effects are nausea and dizziness. For more information about managing obesity please speak with your primary care doctor. Please remember to tell your main doctor about all the medicines and supplements you’re taking.
- Inject Semaglutide under the skin (not into a muscle) of your tummy, thigh, or the upper part of your arm. This can be done at any time of the day, before or after eating, but the same day of the week is best. If you need to change the day you inject the medicine, make sure you leave at least 72 hours (3 days) between your last injection and the next one. Each time you inject, choose a different spot.
- Please don’t mix this medicine with any other injectable medicines like insulin. If you need to take another injectable medicine, give each one as a separate injection.
- Try to avoid giving another injection close to the spot where you gave the last one.

HOW DO IV DRIPS WORK?
A catheter and a saline-based electrolyte solution are used in an IV fluid drip to deliver selected vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract. This process allows for instant availability of the nutrition to address the body’s health needs. Compared to consuming vitamins or medications in liquid or pill form, administering them through an IV is more effective. Ingested nutrients must first pass through the digestive system and get broken down before reaching the cells that require them.
Our certified nurses administer our therapies to clients in their desired locations, such as their homes, offices, or hotels. We have a network of licensed and insured nurse practitioners and registered nurses who possess extensive medical backgrounds in emergency rooms, operating rooms, and ICUs, and are highly skilled in IV therapy.
Our IV infusions are made up of essential fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants that help quickly address a variety of conditions and promote overall body health. They are designed to assist with hangovers, dehydration, jet lag, exhaustion, athletic fatigue, and more.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR IV THERAPY?
IV hydration provides healing benefits that can help boost the immune system, replenish lost nutrients, and improve overall wellbeing. While the body requires a certain amount of vitamins and minerals to function properly, most people don’t consume an optimal level of nutrients through their diet. Physicians have used IV therapy for many years to bridge this gap safely and improve the health of patients with few risks or side effects. In addition to feeling better after an IV infusion, some cocktails can also provide relief from symptoms of ailments like fibromyalgia, migraines, or asthma.
IV hydration can be a valuable addition to a personal wellness plan, regardless of whether you have specific concerns or simply want to feel healthier and more energized. Our team can develop customized treatments tailored to your unique needs, incorporating precise combinations of nutrients to help you feel your best self. IV therapy is effective for patients with varied wellness goals and can be used either as a single treatment or integrated into a regular routine.
It’s worth noting that IV hydration isn’t solely for those who are unwell; it can be beneficial to anyone seeking to improve their overall wellbeing.
WHAT GOES INTO AN IV?
Each concoction differs depending on the health and wellness needs of each patient. The most common ingredients that go into IV’s include:
Saline. This a solution of salt in water and is the most common type of fluid for IV’s. A Saline solution is great for dehydration and hangovers since sodium is a type of electrolyte.
Vitamins. The benefits of vitamins and antioxidants are essential, as they can give us a boost of energy, strengthen our immune system, plus so much more.
Electrolytes. These essential elements and compounds hydrate our bodies, regulate nerve and muscle function, regulate blood pressure, and more. Besides sodium, your body needs potassium, calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium, chloride and phosphate — all of which are electrolytes.
IS IV HYDRATION SAFE?
IV hydration is a safe procedure that involves the administration of FDA-approved vitamins that have undergone rigorous testing before being offered to clients. A registered nurse administers all IV drips under the guidance of a medical director, and a client’s health history is evaluated before the procedure. While side effects from IV hydration are typically mild or nonexistent, some discomfort, itching, bruising, redness, or inflammation at the injection site may occur and could last from a few minutes to several days. True allergic reactions to IV hydration are very rare.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET AN IV?
Our recommendation for clients seeking IV hydration is to receive the treatment at least 1-2 times per month. However, we understand that each person has unique needs, and our approach is tailored accordingly. For those focused on maintaining their overall health and well-being, we suggest two IV drips per month, as this can help address any potential vitamin deficiencies and promote balance.
