Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. You’ve heard the buzz. You’ve seen the results. These medications have taken the weight-loss world by storm. But before you dive in, ask yourself this—do you want to lose weight for a few months or for life?
Because here’s the truth: without a plan, the weight comes back. And sometimes, it comes back worse. That’s why at Cambiati Wellness Programs in Lafayette, CA, we take a smarter approach—one that keeps your health, muscle, and metabolism intact.
How These Drugs Actually Work
These medications belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists. That’s a fancy way of saying they mimic hormones that regulate blood sugar, appetite, and digestion.
– Ozempic (semaglutide): Originally for diabetes, it is now widely used for weight loss. It slows digestion, curbs hunger, and reduces cravings.
– Wegovy (semaglutide): The higher-dose version of Ozempic, specifically FDA-approved for weight loss.
– Mounjaro (tirzepatide): A step up. This drug activates two hormones, not just one—leading to even greater weight loss results.
Sounds great, right? But there’s a catch.
The Risks No One Talks About
These drugs can help you lose weight fast—but they also come with some serious downsides.
Muscle Loss: You’re not just losing fat—you’re losing muscle, too. That means a weaker metabolism and a greater risk of rebound weight gain.
Gut Issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea—many people can’t tolerate the side effects.
Ozempic Face: Losing weight too fast can leave you looking gaunt, saggy, and older than you should.
Lifetime Dependence: Many users regain the weight once they stop. Big Pharma’s goal? Keep you on these drugs forever.
The Cambiati Wellness Programs’ Approach: Medications as a Tool, Not a Lifelong Crutch
At Cambiati Wellness Programs in Lafayette, CA, we don’t just hand out prescriptions and hope for the best. We help clients use these medications wisely. That means:
– Microdosing for fewer side effects
– Protecting muscle mass while burning fat
– Making lifestyle changes so you can get off the meds
Because weight loss isn’t just about a number on the scale; it’s about energy. Confidence. Long-term health.
Microdosing: The Secret to Success
Most doctors prescribe the highest dose possible. That’s a mistake.
We use low, targeted doses to minimize side effects while still getting results. This means:
– Less nausea, fewer gut issues
– More sustainable fat loss
– A smooth transition off the medication
The goal? Use the meds for support—not as a crutch.
Weight Loss Without Muscle Loss
Fast weight loss sounds great—until you realize you’re also burning through muscle. Lose too much muscle, and your metabolism slows down, making future weight gain inevitable.
At Cambiati Wellness Programs, we:
– Track muscle vs. fat loss
– Prioritize protein and strength training
– Support metabolism with targeted nutrition
Because you don’t want to be thin but weak—you want to be lean and strong.
What Other Clinics Get Wrong
Too many clinics prescribe first and ask questions later. They don’t support you. They don’t monitor your muscle mass. They don’t help you transition off the drugs safely.
That’s not how we do things. At Cambiati Wellness Programs, we:
– Start with a deep dive into your health
– Personalize your plan based on your body’s needs
– Provide expert support every step of the way
Because weight loss shouldn’t wreck your body, it should make you stronger, healthier, and more in control.
