Weight Loss Medications

Are you tired of countless hours at the gym, running the streets, restricting what you eat, counting calories, spending thousands on supplements, and constantly being disappointed in the results? Let’s have some moments of honesty. Food is fantastic, relaxing watching Netflix and chilling can make for a great night in, happy hour with friends fills the soul, and interacting with technology can make time move fast. But as our body ages, we can’t keep doing what we loved to do the year before and expect the same result. And we can’t keep doing what works for someone else. At some point, our body needs help at the cellular level. This is where Lush Mobile can help with two products Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.

These products are modified molecules our bodies make, called a GLP-1 analog. It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well as targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which lasts minutes. Originally used for diabetes and sold under the name Ozempic® or Mounjaro®. In June 2021 and May 2022, FDA approved for weight loss.

How does Semaglutide or Tirzepatide work?

  • Delays how quickly our stomachs digest food. Leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
  • Slows intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.
  • Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
  • Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.
  • Tirzepatide works on an additional receptor called GIP.

Benefits of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

  • Decreased appetite and cravings
  • Weight loss
  • Improved blood glucose control

Side Effects/Contraindications

The most common side effects include nausea and constipation. * Patients also report acid reflux, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. The risk of serious side effects increases in patients with hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and the risk of allergic reactions.

Risk of thyroid c−cell tumors. If you or any family members have been diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 or Medullary thyroid cancer you should not take Semaglutide. If you have ever had pancreatitis consult with your medical provider as using Semaglutide can increase the risk of developing pancreatitis.

NAD+

NAD and NAD+ occur naturally in the body and levels fall as we age. NAD plays a major role in the chemical process of generating energy. NAD+ is probably the most important co-factor for improving your energy powerhouse. Boosting NAD+ may help manage a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from diabetes to cancer. When NAD is given IV, some research has shown it can improve mental clarity, alertness, concentration, memory, promote antiviral defense, suppress inflammation, and prolong both health and life span “anti-aging.”

How does NAD+ work?

  • NAD+ can, directly and indirectly, influence many key cellular functions, including metabolic pathways, DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, cellular senescence, and immune cell function. These cellular processes and functions are critical for maintaining tissue and metabolic homeostasis and for healthy aging (doi: 10.1038/s41580-020-00313-x).

Benefits of NAD+

  • Improve Athletic Performance
  • Improve Cognition
  • Improve Kidney and Liver Function
  • Reduce Chronic Fatigue
  • Reduce Inflammation

  • Support Pain Management

Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone is a hormone that influences the function and development of certain target organs. The primary role of testosterone is to help facilitate growth and repair within the body, as your cells are constantly replacing and repairing themselves.  Testosterone is therefore considered to be an anabolic hormone, its role within the body has far more significance than simply muscle growth. Testosterone has an important role in many aspects of your health.

According to the Mayo Clinic publication in July of 2016 © “TD (testosterone deficiency or hypogonadism) is a well-established, significant medical condition that negatively affects male sexuality, reproduction, general health, and quality of life”.
