The beginning of a fresh, new year is the perfect time to prioritize your health and well-being. More than ever, patients are seeking personalized treatments to help them reach their weight loss goals. At Skin Artisans, we have an innovative approach that is gaining traction due to the incredible results our patients are achieving and feeling. This method combines BioTe® bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with GLP-1 agonists, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, for optimized weight loss. This unique approach offers a holistic solution to tackle hormonal imbalances while promoting effective weight loss, paving the way for enhanced results and overall health!
Understanding BioTe® Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
As we age, our hormone levels can significantly fluctuate, leading to a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and decreased libido. BioTe® utilizes bioidentical hormones, which are molecularly identical to the hormones produced by our bodies. This therapy involves precise hormone optimization tailored to each individual through the use of pellets, which are implanted under the skin via a tiny incision and release hormones consistently over time.
The benefits of BioTe® BHRT are numerous. Skin Artisans patients often report improved energy levels, enhanced mood stability, better sleep quality, increased libido, and a renewed sense of well-being. Furthermore, balancing hormones can also contribute to healthier weight management. By addressing and balancing hormonal issues, individuals may find it easier to shed excess pounds and maintain a healthier body composition.
The Role of GLP-1 Agonists in Weight Loss
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide represent a breakthrough in weight management therapies. Originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes, these medications have shown remarkable success in promoting weight loss by regulating appetite and improving blood sugar control. They work by mimicking the actions of the natural GLP-1 hormone found in our bodies, which helps to increase feelings of fullness, decrease hunger and cravings, and slow the rate at which food moves from our stomach.
Skin Artisans patients participating in our GLP-1 agonist medical weight loss program report significant reductions in body weight (up to 15% or more of your total body weight within one year), improved insulin sensitivity, less hunger and cravings, and better overall metabolic health. These medications, when combined with a healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits, provide a powerful tool for individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues.
The Synergistic Effects of Combining BioTe® BHRT and GLP-1 Agonists
The combination of BioTe® BHRT with GLP-1 agonists at Skin Artisans presents a wonderfully synergistic approach to health and weight loss! When hormonal balance is optimized through BHRT, patients may experience enhanced energy levels and improved metabolic function, making engaging in regular physical activity and healthy eating habits easier. Meanwhile, GLP-1 agonists help to curb cravings and reduce caloric intake, further reinforcing and supporting your weight loss efforts.
This combination creates a natural ripple or domino effect in patients’ lives. As hormone balance is restored and patients experience more restorative sleep and have more energy, they often find it easier to partake in additional healthy lifestyle habits like regular exercise. As hunger is reduced, patients find it easier to make better, more nutritious food choices that support healthy hormone function and weight loss. As stress hormones, like cortisol, are controlled, the body begins to shift how it stores fat and uses it more readily as fuel, minimizing the dreaded belly fat. The benefits of this complementary approach can seem limitless and are unique to each patient.
