InBody Composition Analysis

InBody composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage.

Most diet and fitness goals focus on weight loss or gain, overlooking that two people of the same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have different body compositions. Measuring your body composition will tell you your own body’s unique makeup and help you identify areas to work on to improve your overall health and wellness.

Getting a better insight into your overall wellness starts with measuring your body composition and going beyond the number on the scale. You will know whether you need to gain more lean mass or lower body fat percentage to achieve a healthy body composition and a better level of health. Learn more about Inbody.

Lipotropic Fat Injections

Lipotropic fat-burning injections are supplements used to expedite fat loss. These injections are meant to complement other aspects of your medically supervised weight loss regimen. Lipotropic injections include vitamin B12. It Is Important to understand that lipotropic injections used without a weight loss program may not be safe. Additional vitamins and minerals work to metabolize fats in the body. Intramuscular lipotropic injections are more effective since it is delivered directly into the body, bypassing the digestive tract. Versus oral suspension which must go through the digestive process, many oral supplements have additional additives and lose much of their potency and effectiveness.

Medications

GLP-1s for Weight Loss
Research has shown that patients using GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide 1s) can lose between 15% and 20% of their body weight. This medication works on key underlying metabolic pathways which makes it different from other weight loss medications (like phentermine). The medication mimics natural hormones in the human body and helps suppress appetite, in addition to stabilizing blood glucose levels.

Phentermine
Phentermine is the most commonly used appetite suppressant. It is a medication that increases metabolism and reduces hunger. The Phentermine diet pill stimulates the hypothalamus gland and affects certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite.

Phentermine/Topiramate for Weight Loss
Phentermine/Topiramate combines the FDA appetite suppressant phentermine with topiramate to offer patients long-term appetite control. Phentermine reduces hunger by stimulating the hypothalamus to release neurotransmitters. Topiramate is generic for Topamax. Topiramate has a variety of uses including migraine management and as an anticonvulsant. When topiramate is combined with phentermine, appetite control can be extended throughout the day and offer patients better satiety to decrease their calorie intake.
