InShape Medical’s Metabolic Reset Program is a whole-body reset. It resets your metabolic system (your organs, hormones, cells, and molecular messengers) to have a healthier response to food, sleep, exercise, and emotional triggers. When you regain control over your metabolism it can be much easier to regain control over your weight. Although patients that strictly follow the program will begin losing weight after starting the program, rebalancing your metabolism and creating new lifestyle habits takes time. This is why our program is designed to be an affordable longer-term solution and not a “quick fix”. At the end of the program, you should not only have lost a significant amount of weight and reset your metabolism but also feel much better physically and emotionally. InShape Medical practitioners prescribe medications called GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s). Research shows that, in combination with the right support, GLP-1s are highly effective and safe for weight loss. GLP-1s are not a stimulant like other weight loss medications. GLP-1s regulate food intake and promote weight loss by suppressing appetite and boosting the feeling of fullness without the anxiousness, jitters, and sleep problems associated with traditional weight loss medications. This allows you to eat less without these side effects and without hunger. Additionally, GLP-1s are not habit forming. They work the same way as GLP-1 hormones that your body produces naturally.  GLP-1s improve your metabolic function and regulate your digestion, helping you to feel full longer while curbing cravings for sugar and other simple carbs. GLP-1s also have other benefits like reducing inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk.  The GLP-1 prescribed by InShape Medical practitioners is semaglutide. Semaglutide is known under the brand name Wegovy. Unfortunately, Wegovy is quite an expensive medication, with average retail pricing at over $1,600 per month. And most health insurances don’t cover it. However, unlike the Wegovy brand version of the medication, InShape Medical is able to supply semaglutide to our patients included in our program, at a fraction of that cost. Semaglutide acts in the following ways: • Delays stomach emptying. This leads to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes. • Slows intestinal motility (how foods move through your digestive system), allowing you to feel fuller longer. • Suppresses food cravings (particularly sweets), making it easier to control overeating. • Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.  This helps to prevent excess blood sugar being converted to body fat. • Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.  Lowering insulin resistance can make it easier for your body to lose excess body fat. This program is designed to require very few in-office visits, whether you're in the program for several months or a year.  That's why the program includes a bio impedance scale that connects to our weight loss & fitness app via a Bluetooth connection.  The scale sends your body composition data to the app, so you can easily track your progress. The app can calculate calories and supply meal plan options & recipes. It also can be loaded with exercise programs, stress management programs, and more.  If you are ready to get off of the weight loss roller coaster and take control of your metabolism with an affordable medical weight loss program, please contact us today for a free consultation with one of our Nutritional Therapists.  InShape Medical is ready to guide you on a new path to successful long-term weight loss and a healthier life!
