Semaglutide (Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) can be amazing medications for weight loss. But what happens when they don’t work for you (i.e. don’t cause weight loss, side effects are too much, etc.) or they stop working and plateau?
At Biohackr Health, we have a lot of experience with these medications. We know you can get these medications through many avenues now, but there is a true benefit to doing this through a program that monitors your progress and offers familiarity with how to tweak things. We are partnered with a company looking at adding herbals, participating in scientific research to help understand how to lose weight more effectively, and supports weaning off these medications.
If you are stuck — no weight loss — and want to jumpstart things again, what are your options?
- Increase your dose: This option presents a negative — more likely side effects, harder to wean off, and costs more.
- Change medications: We offer semaglutide and tirzepatide. Every person is different, so changing medications could help.
- Muscle mass: We monitor your body muscle/fat ratios every month. It is important to maintain your muscle density on these medications. Weight training is good to do while losing weight to prevent muscle loss.
- NAD: We offer a deep understanding of NAD. We test levels to assess your baseline. We have IV NAD in our clinics. We have an at home program with IM injections. We also have oral NMN, a precursor to NAD. We have found that raising NAD levels can help people all the way around — with weight loss, sleep, muscle mass, etc. See our page here and blogs over the topic. Dieting and Exercise: You need to be aware of your diet. Try to eat more protein and vegetables, and less carbohydrates. Maintain calorie counts. Walking after eating has been shown to be beneficial for glucose control.
- Probiotics good for glucose control: There are known strains of gut bacteria which help glucose control. One of the major actions of semaglutide and tirzepatide is to fight insulin resistance. Add other things like our probiotic to your regimen which help. We sell a glucose control probiotic containing these at Biohackr Health shop.
- Berberine: This is a known herbal supplement that helps with glucose control and insulin resistance. Our berberine is NSF certified. (NSF evaluates the composition of dietary supplements and assesses and tests for the purity and levels.) Again, this is available in our clinic’s SHOP.
Our clinic is here to help you and tailor your treatment. We have extensive experience and a wide variety of treatments, testing so you can see what is working and what is not.
