Maintaining a healthy weight is so challenging for so many people. At Optimal Wellness in Southwest Florida, we know that weight loss is more than just eating less and moving more. We’ve done the research to know that we have to look at all the health issues that may be causing the weight gain to begin with.
At Optimal Wellness Cape Coral we start with bloodwork to discover what underlying health issues you may be having. Then we create a customized program for you that will work, because weight loss is not a one size fits all kind of thing. We offer medically assisted weight loss, fat burning injections, hormone therapy, peptide therapy, and even lipodissolve (mesotherapy).
Unlike those unrealistic weight loss options offered to you on television, our programs really work, and they work from the inside out, allowing your body to not just lose the weight, but also getting healthier in the process.
Medically Assisted Weight Loss
For many people diet and exercise alone are not enough to provide the amount of weight loss they really want. And if you are over the age of 40, that’s even more true since hormone loss, loss of collagen and other important physiological changes all work against weight loss. Owner of the Cape Coral Optimal Wellness center, Michelle Hamm, wanted to be able to offer people a holistic approach to the issues people face as they age. As such she looks at a plethora of issues that may be causing your weight gain or plateau. We will test your blood for:
- High blood sugar
- Thyroid issues
- Imbalanced hormone levels
- Gut health and digestive issues
- Proper Nutrition, getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals
Once we know what state your body is currently in, we can customize a weight loss program that is multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary to address the issues you may have. Your program may include regular visits for vitamin and mineral rich IV hydration treatments, or fat burner shots. You may need hormone pellets to balance out the hormones your aging body no longer produces. We will find out what’s stopping you from reaching your weight goals and we will set you up to achieve long term weight loss that is healthy to provide the kind of vitality you haven’t experienced since your 20s1
Peptide Therapy
Composed of the amino acids that are protein building blocks, there are 7,000 naturally occurring peptides in human’s body. Peptides are signaling molecules that instruct the cells and molecules in your body in which functions they should be performing. Unfortunately, as with hormones, peptide production declines as we get older. We’ve been using peptides to treat all kinds of issues in the body because they are so important to health and vitality. We look to restore the peptides your body has lost to stimulate cellular growth for specific conditions. Peptide therapy can be customized to target your specific needs. They can be used to increase metabolism, aid in digestion, increase sexual desire, reduce neuropathy and inflammation and help with weight loss. We offer peptides in many different forms from injections to nasal sprays to oral applications and even topical creams.
Here’s just a short list of what peptide therapy can provide:
- Stimulate weight loss and lean muscle gain
- Repair soft tissue like ligaments
- Provide pain relief and accelerate healing
- Boost hormone function and increase hormone levels
- End sexual dysfunction symptoms
- Increase cognitive functions
- Promote hair growth
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduce signs of aging
A specific peptide, Semaglutide, has become very popular in Hollywood for its weight loss, and medical benefits. A peptide that’s produced naturally in the small intestine, semaglutide stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, which is why it is commonly used for those who have Type 2 Diabetes, as it lowers blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels and helps your body to better process food. This peptide also slows food digestion to reduce appetite, regulate glucose levels and reduce food cravings. This is a peptide that not only helps you lose weight, it also optimizes your digestive functions for a healthier you overall.
