Taking Weight Loss by Storm

Innovative Vein on the Leading Edge

Written by Julie Underwood Burton

Innovative Vein has found the perfect combination for those struggling to lose weight by combining their IDLife nutritional products with a new popular injection called semaglutide.

Semaglutide is one of the newest anti-obesity medications on the market, and is still making waves more than two years after approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2021. It’s been heralded as a new breakthrough in medical weight loss. According to UCLA, an early study of 2,000 obese adults compared people who used semaglutide and incorporated a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without semaglutide. The difference in results was impressive. After 68 weeks, half of the participants who incorporated semaglutide plus lifestyle changes lost 15 percent of their body weight and nearly a third lost 20 percent. Participants who only incorporated lifestyle changes lost about 2.4 percent of their weight.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide acts like a gut hormone called GLP-1, and works to:

• Increase insulin production and decrease glucagon synthesis

• Delay gastric emptying

• Suppress hunger while it signals the brain to feel full

Under the clinical supervision of Dr. Paul Cheatum, SpaMD at Innovative Vein now offers semaglutide injections, and their resident IDLife expert, Stephanie Johnson, is excited about the successes they’ve seen — especially when clients combine the injections with the IDLife nutritional products.

“We are now offering this remarkable weight loss injection to complement our current IDLife system,” says Johnson. “Since the weight loss injections can possibly suppress your appetite, why not try the NurishID meal replacement for maximum weight loss results? You can lose weight without feeling like you are depriving yourself.” Also popular at Innovative Vein’s SpaMD are Vitamin B12 injections to help individuals feel energized and boost metabolism, also promoting weight loss. A DNA test is available that offers a genetic health report as well.

At SpaMD, clients will provide a thorough health history, a list of medications, and body weight information to be reviewed by Dr. Cheatum to determine the candidate’s eligibility. Weekly check-ins are required of participants, plus there are periodic weigh-ins. Clients are also closely monitored to track progress and any side effects. The regimen is typically prescribed based on individual results. And the results are worth reporting!

SpaMD hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m to 5 p.m. Call 316.425.7980 today to set up an initial consultation with Stephanie Johnson and start your new weight loss journey.
