True You Weight Management program

Introducing GLP-1
Injections

Have you ever been frustrated because you have tried to lose weight and failed? You are not alone! The CDC estimates that greater than 70% of Americans are overweight.

"Everyone should start with diet and exercise. But for people who are overweight, lifestyle changes may not be enough to move the needle on the scale."

Fad diets, and diet pills are strategies that Americans have tried to help manage their weight when exercise alone has not helped them achieve their goals. Historic weight loss medications, such as phentermine and Fen-Phen, have proven to be mildly effective with only marginal benefits and potentially serious health concerns. Because of these concerns, many medical providers were hesitant to offer any type of weight management medication to combat the national weight epidemic. But a new weight loss medication is changing all that!

 

In June 2021, the FDA approved GLP-1 for weight loss and weight management. This is the first approved weight loss medication since 2014. GLP-1 works by mimicking the body’s naturally glucagon-like peptides (GLP) that sends the body the signal “I’m full”. This action is different from historic weight loss medications, but more importantly, we now have a medication that not only helps with weight loss, but also can assist with weight management. HOW EXCITING!

 

 GLP-1 was FDA approved for patients with a BMI > 30, or a BMI greater than 27 with one other health condition. Bella Rogue Wellness recognizes the importance of weight management and fully supports the FDA’s approval. However, because we believe that optimal weight is so important for overall health, we have also expanded our eligible patient population to those who struggle with appetite control and maintaining their optimal weight.

 

Everyone should start with diet and exercise. But for people who are overweight, or struggling to maintain their optimal weight, lifestyle changes may not be enough to move the needle on the scale. When people eat less, their metabolisms slow down so they can maintain their set weight point and that may hamper weight loss. GLP-1 seems to help move that set point so that you can achieve your weight goals. As in all medications, there are some people who cannot take GLP-1.

Patients with the following conditions should NOT try GLP-1: 

  • History of Medullary Thyroid Cancer, Pancreatitis, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type II (MEN II)

  • Pregnant or Breastfeeding

  • Patients currently taking Insulin or a Sulfonylurea’s

  • Allergy to GLP-1 Medications

Patients with the following conditions can take GLP-1 with CAUTION:

  • Gallbladder issues (including gallstones)

  • History of bowel surgery, chronic diverticulitis, or severe constipation

  • Kidney disease

  • Diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina)

  • Depression, mood disturbances and suicidal ideations

Most side effects of GLP-1 medications are minor with the most common side effect of GLP-1 as mild nausea. Other mild side effects include mild fatigue, gas, vomitting bloating and constipation.  Bella Rogue uses many different techniques to help decrease any potential side effects by starting each patient at a very low dose and then customizing that patient’s dosage during their weekly visits. This individual and highly personalized type of treatment helps maximize results while minimizing potential side effects.

Other rare, but more serious side effects may include vomitting, vision changes in patients with diabetic retinopathy, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, gall bladder issues and in very rare cases, gastroparesis and an ileus. Because of these rare, but serious side effects, Bella Rogue patients will meet with a clinician at each visit to help recognize potential risks and changes in condition.

Pricing is based on dosage tiers. Our Semaglutide prices range from $65 to $115 per week, and our Tirzepatide prices range from $75 to $200 per week. Because GLP-1 dosing is very individualized, Bella Rogue personalizes your dosing to maximize your success. This strategy helps patient keep costs down while maximizing their success.
