Frequently Asked Questions
Exercise can be a fantastic way to improve your cardiovascular health and build muscle. But when it comes to weight loss, exercise alone isn’t all that effective. Instead, we recommend you “eat the fat off your body,” which means shedding those pounds by rethinking your diet.
If you feel like you’ve tried everything but still can’t lose weight, you might be a good candidate for medical weight loss in Kansas City. Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics offers Semaglutide and Phentermine to qualifying patients looking to control their appetite, regulate their blood sugar, and lose weight without having to resort to surgery.
Carrying around too much weight on your body can lead to:
- Joint pain
- Sore ankles
- Knee pain
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
- Sleep apnea
- Osteoarthritis
- Some forms of cancer
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Fatty liver disease
- Higher risk for heart attacks and strokes
Absolutely! By approaching weight loss from a functional medicine perspective and optimizing your hormone levels, we’re able to pinpoint the root cause of your weight gain and use weight loss as a means of improving your overall health and well-being.
Medically managed weight loss, or medical weight loss, is a term for losing weight under the care and supervision of medical professionals. Medical weight loss plans often involve dietary and exercise guidelines as well as medical treatments like Semaglutide injections and Phentermine. Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics offers medical weight loss in Kansas City as an advanced option for losing weight without surgery.
Your hormones play a major role in regulating various bodily processes, including:
- Metabolism
- Body fat distribution and accumulation
- Hunger
- Satiety (sense of fullness)
- Blood sugar
- Blood pressure
As you age, your body produces smaller amounts of key hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This can lead to a hormonal imbalance and negatively affect the bodily processes listed above.
A hormonal imbalance might alter your appetite, making you feel more hungry more often and less satisfied with meals. It can also slow your metabolism, causing your body to store food as fat rather than using it for energy.
At Regain, we usually focus on balancing your hormones with hormone replacement therapy before prescribing a weight loss medication. This includes weekly injections of a customized dose of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to optimize your journey with medical weight loss in Kansas City.
HRT can also improve your mood, energy, and sleep quality, which indirectly helps you on your weight loss journey. After HRT, many patients feel more well-rested and have enough energy to fuel their workouts and burn more calories.
No, you do not have to return to our office for weekly injections. We teach you how to administer these injectables during an in-office visit.
On the same day each week, you will inject your customized and prescribed dosage in rotating injection sites, like your stomach, thighs, or upper arms. This makes it more convenient for you to choose the care you need to support your weight loss process.
Phentermine is an oral medication that we offer for medical weight loss in Kansas City. This option works as a stimulant and targets specific chemicals in your brain, like norepinephrine, to suppress hunger and increase energy.
Phentermine is not intended for long-term use or for significant weight loss. We recommend this medication for patients looking to lose between 10 to 15 pounds.
The InBody is a body composition analysis tool that gives us a more accurate understanding of your overall health and weight. Instead of simply measuring your body mass index (BMI), the InBody allows us to evaluate your weight based on the following core components:
- Muscle mass
- Body fat percentage
- Bone density
- Water distribution
- Body water
Throughout your journey for medical weight loss in Kansas City, we schedule regular InBody scans, so we can track your progress more accurately.
One side effect of losing weight, whether from weight loss injections or just diet and exercise, is the risk of losing muscle mass. When you eat in a calorie deficit, your muscles receive fewer nutrientss than usual, which causes them to shrink.
L-Glycine is an amino acid that preserves muscle mass while aiding in weight loss. Not only does this supplement help you achieve a more toned body, but it also improves other aspects of your health, like detoxification, sleep quality, and cardiovascular function.
We offer semaglutide and tirzepatide in oral forms for patients who are needle-adverse. For this option, you’ll need to remember to take your prescribed medication at the same time each day for best results.
