“Our phones have been ringing off the hook with people calling us and inquiring if we offer the injections,” says Cheryl Dietrich, supervisor of the Grosse Pointe Woods Medical Weight Loss Clinic location. “A lot of callers complain how difficult it is to fill the script their doctor had written because pharmacies are out of stock.
“Luckily, MWLC is now offering both GLP-1 medications – Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections for those following our weight loss program. Our patients are having great success! And we use a compound pharmacy so we have no supply problems.”
Oprah’s openness about her own private weight loss journey and success with GLP-1 agonist medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, resonates with many who wrestle with related challenges.
“People know the struggles Oprah has had relating to her weight,” Cheryl says. “She has never been quiet about it. Seeing how successful Oprah has been since using a GLP-1, should inspire and give hope to those who have struggled with trying to lose weight.”
GLP-1 agonists, like Ozempic and Wegovy, are prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity. These semaglutide medications are meant for patients who struggle to control hunger and food cravings. They work by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1, which is naturally produced in the body. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.
By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, these medications help reduce appetite, leading to decreased food intake and weight loss. They can also slow down the emptying of the stomach which decreases blood sugar spikes and increases feelings of fullness after meals.
While these promising injections for weight loss are the buzz of the moment, Cheryl stresses that a holistic approach to weight management and wellness is still key.
“Semaglutide medications are just a tool,” Cheryl says. “Following a program like Medical Weight Loss Clinic will ensure that your body gets the proper nutrition to lose weight, and it is also important that patients incorporate weight training into their week to avoid losing any muscle mass.”
Cheryl made a level to share that “obesity does not happen because someone is lazy but rather it is a disease.”
