If you have overweight family members and want a personalized weight management plan developed JUST FOR YOU, iMed is here to help. With genetic testing, we can find out if you have SNPs that contribute to weight gain and what you can do about it. iMed checks dozens of SNPs that have been identified that contribute to :

 

• Leaky Gut Syndrome

• Fat malabsorption

• Energy Homeostasis

• Eating Behavior

• Defects in Carbohydrate Metabolism

• Responsiveness to Exercise

• Metabolic issues provoked by a lack of sleep or exercise, or Insulin Resistance 

        

The first step in a concise treatment plan is here. We can get to the root cause with genetic testing and offer support with short- and long-term treatment plans which can include a dietary guide, exercise regimen and oral & intravenous medications. 

 

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT 

​

Do you find yourself with a hearty appetite that is contributing to weight gain? You may benefit from Semaglutide. Semaglutide is one of 6 naturally occurring Glucagon Like Peptides (GLP-1) satiety enzymes our bodies produce that delay gastric emptying, thus causing a sense of fullness. In some people a GLP-1 deficiency causes increased appetite and weight gain. If you are overweight and/ or have additional weight related medical condition(s), you may benefit from Semaglutide therapy. 

​

Remember, no intervention is risk-free.

 

The most common side effect of Semaglutide is nausea and constipation. That's why agreeing to water intake of at least 32 oz a day is outlined in the Semaglutide Consent Form. Some other side effects include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach (abdominal) pain, headache, fatigue, dizziness, feeling bloated after a small meal, belching, gas and heartburn. If constipation occurs in spite of sufficient water intake, reducing the dose of Semaglutide may be necessary.

 

Adverse reactions include but are not limited to acute pancreatitis, gastroparesis and gallstones. As these can be diagnosed by exam and lab tests, scheduled visits with your iMed or primary care provider are important.

 

Contraindications include history of pancreatic cancer, medullary carcinoma, MEN Type II, diabetes and pregnancy. It is unknown whether Semaglutide is passed through breastmilk or safe for those under the age of 18, therefore is contraindicated. If you plan on becoming pregnant, stop Semaglutide 2 months before attempts to conceive. If you had a past allergic reaction to BPC-157, Semaglutide or any other GLP-1 agonist such as: Adlyxin®, Byeta®, Bydureon®, Ozempic®, Rybelsus®, Trulicity®, Victoza®, Wegovy®, then you are not a candidate for Semaglutide. Contact iMed for additional weight management options.
