Are you overweight? Do you need to lose at least 10 lbs?

At Advanced Image Med Spa & Wellness Center, we prioritize science-backed treatments that help our patients achieve sustainable weight loss and optimal health. These promising new revolutionary medications support weight loss, metabolic health, and overall well-being.
The rising availability of new weight loss medications is giving many people fresh hope in their weight loss journey with good reason. These drugs offer support and can be a game changer where traditional methods may have failed, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. There are multiple factors that need to be considered when choosing the right drug for you. Choosing the right path for weight loss requires careful consideration of both benefits and risks, and should always be under the guidance of a qualified doctor.
The Emotional, Financial, & Physical Toll of Being Overweight
We all know that excess weight can cause all kinds of Physical Issues including :
Type 2 Diabetes
Excess weight, particularly around the abdomen, increases insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar levels.
This can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes, which has numerous long-term health consequences.
Heart Disease
Being overweight strains the heart, raises blood pressure, and increases cholesterol levels, leading to a higher risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Extra body weight can cause higher blood pressure, putting additional strain on arteries and the heart, which can lead to various cardiovascular complications over time.
Sleep Apnea
Excess weight, particularly around the neck, can obstruct breathing during sleep, leading to sleep apnea. This condition not only disrupts sleep but also increases risks for high blood pressure and heart disease.
Osteoarthritis
Carrying excess weight puts added stress on joints, especially in the knees, hips, and lower back. This can wear down cartilage and lead to osteoarthritis, causing pain and limiting mobility.
These are just a few of the disease processes that can be exacerbated by excess weight and can also get better with weight loss.
Beyond the physical challenges, overweight people can face emotional struggles.
When you don’t feel good about yourself or you feel judged or discriminated against it can impact your job, relationships, self-esteem, and your daily well-being. The emotional toll of being overweight can cause as many issues as the physical toll.
And you cannot forget- The financial toll
The costs for doctors visits, medications, diets, health issues, and other treatments can quickly add up. Addressing your weight in a healthy way is a significant investment in your future.
Understanding the New Wave of Weight Loss Drug
What are GLP-1 drugs and how do they work
GLP-1 drugs, also called GLP-1 agonists, are shortened names for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the GLP-1 hormone that is naturally released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating.
As you eat, your digestive system breaks carbohydrates down into simple sugars that then travel through your bloodstream. GLP-1 triggers the release of insulin from your pancreas. Insulin helps usher glucose (sugar) out of the bloodstream and into your cells, where it can be used for nourishment and energy.
GLP-1 agonists stimulate the pancreas to release insulin and suppress the release of another hormone called glucagon. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low, whereas insulin, another hormone, decreases blood sugar levels. These drugs also act in the brain to reduce hunger and act on the stomach to delay emptying, so you feel full for a longer time. It is these effects along with a balanced diet that can lead to weight loss. GLP-1 agonists have been used to treat type 2 diabetes for about two decades and have a long safety record.
The FDA has approved several GLP-1 agonists for weight loss in people who are overweight but do not have diabetes. When used for the diagnosis overweight or obesity, the drugs are typically prescribed in higher doses than when prescribed for diabetes.
As with most solutions there are Pros and Cons to using these drugs:
Pros:
Increased Metabolism: These drugs often work by stimulating the body’s metabolism, helping you burn calories more efficiently.
Appetite Suppression: Many of these medications reduce hunger and help control cravings, a major hurdle for most of us.
Sustainable Weight Loss Aid: Combined with healthy habits, these drugs can support long-term weight loss and management.
Cons:
Side Effects: While effective, many drugs come with potential side effects like nausea, fatigue, and, for some, more serious reactions. (Proper dosing and administration along with B12 injections reduces this risk dramatically.)
Dependency Risks: Relying solely on medication without lifestyle changes can limit long-term success and may lead to dependency. ( This is why it is so important to be a part of a team that is monitoring and regulating your progress.) However for patients with a long history of being overweight or obese the indication is for long-term maintenance dosing.
Cost: Most weight loss medications are costly and may not be covered by insurance, making it an ongoing expense. (We provide payment options to help).
Safety First: Why Doctor Supervision is Essential
Working with Dr Iannitelli ensures that your weight loss will be approached safely. She will order bloodwork before starting you on the drugs to ensure you are a good candidate .( We can draw your blood at our office, keeping you out of a crowded lab setting.) Dr Iannitelli will help you choose the right medication for your needs. She will monitor for side effects, adjust dosages, and provide a holistic approach that combines medication with lifestyle changes for optimal results. Under Dr Iannitelli’s care, potential health risks—like changes in blood sugar or GI issues—are watched closely to prevent complications. She will be able to give you the appropriate amount of medication to minimize nausea and other potential side effects from the drugs. In addition most clinics do not optimize your thyroid, when not optimized contributes to a slowed metabolism and lower energy. Dr. Iannitelli understand it is Integral to manage this along with your GLP – 1 drugs or you will never get the weight loss results you desire. Unlike most clinics we do not charge extra for this invaluable service. You can count on having an educated partner to help make sure your weight loss journey is successful.
Encouragement: Taking the Next Step Toward a Healthier Future
Navigating weight loss can feel overwhelming, but with medical guidance and new tools, it’s possible to make real progress. Everyone deserves to feel their best, both physically and emotionally.
Sagging Skin and Volume Depletion
Once you have hit your target weight you may have volume loss in your face or sagging skin on your body. Because Dr. Iannitelli also specializes in minimally invasive aesthetics she can help most people harness the maximum benefit of their new body without the downtime of traditional surgical procedures.
GLP1-Promising Benefits:
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, has shown a range of positive effects beyond blood sugar regulation, especially in chronic disease prevention and management. These some of the many benefits:
1. Cardiovascular Health
GLP1 has been shown to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in individuals with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk. This effect is linked to improved blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and overall weight reduction, which together decrease the heart’s workload.
2. Improved Liver Health
Emerging research suggests GLP1 can help reduce liver fat content, making it a promising option for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). By promoting weight loss and reducing liver inflammation, GLP1 may help prevent liver disease progression.
3. Kidney Function Protection
Studies have shown that GLP1 can help reduce markers of kidney disease progression in diabetic patients. It appears to protect kidney function by improving blood glucose control, reducing inflammation, and potentially lessening protein loss in urine, which is a key indicator of kidney stress.
4. Reduced Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
GLP1 has anti-inflammatory effects that can decrease oxidative stress in the body, which is beneficial for preventing chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, a major contributor to cardiovascular issues.
5. Improved Blood Pressure and Lipid Profiles
Weight loss and direct metabolic effects from GLP1 contribute to reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as improvements in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. This is beneficial for individuals at risk of or managing hypertension and dyslipidemia.
6. Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention Potential
Early studies are investigating GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide for neuroprotective effects, as these drugs appear to reduce amyloid plaque buildup and inflammation in the brain. Though research is ongoing, this indicates potential for delaying the onset or progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
7. Appetite Regulation and Long-Term Weight Management
By modulating appetite and reducing cravings, semaglutide helps patients achieve significant weight loss, which can positively impact diseases affected by weight, including obstructive sleep apnea, arthritis, and certain cancers.
These positive effects make semaglutide a promising option not only for diabetes management but also for improving multiple facets of health and disease prevention, especially when used under medical supervision.
GLP2- More Good News
1. Unmatched Weight Loss Results
GLP2 has been shown to help patients lose up to 20% of their body weight, making it one of the most effective weight-loss solutions available today. Unlike fad diets or extreme exercise programs, this treatment supports sustainable, long-term results.
2. Enhanced Metabolism & Fat Burning
By mimicking two key hormones (GLP-1 & GIP) that regulate blood sugar and appetite, GLP2 enhances the body’s natural ability to burn fat while preserving lean muscle mass. This is especially beneficial for patients looking to reshape their body.
3. Appetite Control & Reduced Cravings
One of the biggest weight loss challenges is hunger and cravings. GLP2 helps patients feel full longer, significantly reducing the urge to snack or overeat. This makes it easier to adopt healthy eating habits without feeling deprived.
4. Improved Heart & Liver Health
Excess weight can lead to high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular issues. GLP2 not only helps patients lose even more weight, but also has all of the advantages of GLP1:
- Lowers cholesterol
- Reduces blood pressure
- Decreases inflammation
- Supports liver function
This makes it an excellent choice for individuals seeking whole-body wellness, not just weight loss.
