What Causes Weight Gain?
Gaining weight is a well-known symptom of aging that many men experience. In fact, more than 1 in 3 men are overweight. Men are often told to simply hit the gym or change their diet to combat the increasing pounds, but those suggestions may not work because it’s not always that simple. Due to many factors, it can be harder to lose weight with age. Unfortunately, this can lead to increased frustration, embarrassment, or giving up on weight loss altogether.
Age, lifestyle changes, and potentially slowing metabolism could be the culprit of the ever increasing pounds. As we age, our metabolism slows, making it increasingly difficult to convert food into energy, and turning that potential energy into fat. We understand this can be incredibly frustrating, and at Baton Rouge Men’s Clinic, we are committed to providing treatment options to men who seem to have “tried it all.”
What is GLP-1? And how can it help me lose 15% of my body weight?*
Glucagon-like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) is an agonist medication used to aid weight loss. Originally a treatment for Adult-Onset Diabetes (or Type 2 Diabetes), GHP-1 has changed the game when it comes to losing weight. In many cases, patients have experienced an average loss of 15% of their body weight after about 1 year.* This treatment stimulates the natural hormones produced in the intestines that tell your brain that you are full. This will help curb cravings, reduce midnight snacking, and overall help you feel satisfied all while losing weight. With a healthy regimen of diet and exercise, GLP-1 will help burn those stubborn few pounds that never seem to go away.
Why Seek Treatment?
Men with these symptoms could benefit from an evaluation:
- Weight gain
- Trouble losing weight
- Muscle loss
- Loss of energy
Our licensed and trained medical staff can determine whether GLP-1 is the right option for you to regain the body and virility you once had. You can make great strides towards your weight-loss goals and increase your energy and confidence… GLP-1 can likely help.
How is it Treated?
Our trained medical staff will first determine if you are a good fit for GLP-1 by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI). Once it is determined you are a good fit for GLP-1, the medical professionals at Baton Rouge Men’s Clinic will develop a customized treatment plan that will help you not only lose weight but regain the vigor you once had.
What are the potential side effects?
At Baton Rouge Men’s Clinic, we will monitor your progress to help detect and correct any potential side effects early on. Some men may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, and burping, which should subside after the first month. We do not recommend taking GLP-1 if you or any of your family have ever had Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) or Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2 (MEN2).
Weight Loss
A solution that can truly help you lose 15% or more of your body weight.*
Glucagon-like Peptide (GLP-1) is a once-weekly medication that can help you effectively reduce weight long-term. In many cases, patients have experienced an average loss of 15% of their body weight in a little over a year. The medication works by making you feel fuller, reducing cravings, and assisting your body with processing sugars more efficiently. GLP-1, along with a healthy regimen of diet and exercise, can aid in your weight loss goals, provide an increase in energy, and boost your confidence.
*Based on the average weight loss in three 68-week clinical trials of patients without diabetes who reached and maintained a dose of 2.4 mg/week of GLP-1 treatment, along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
I was skeptical when I first arrived but after just a test dose I saw results that I haven’t seen in 10 years. This is a life changing product thank you fellas at the Men’s Clinic.
