Weight Loss Injections
Weight Loss Injections Are for BIG Weight Loss Goals
Losing Weight Can Feel Almost Impossible…
Does your dream weight seem unattainable?
Maybe you feel like your weight loss goals are out of your reach.
Or you’d like to find an easier way to lose weight.
Or the usual weight loss methods aren’t enough to achieve your goals.
That’s where weight loss injections come in…
Weight Loss Injections Are a Game Changer
If you’ve been thinking about starting your weight loss journey, you’ve probably heard that weight loss injections can make a big difference to your weight loss results. Maybe you’ve considered using them.
But first, you might have some questions like:
- How do weight loss injections work?
- Are weight loss injections right for you?
- What's the process for starting weight loss injections?
How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?
Great question! Weight loss injections like semaglutide, increase insulin sensitivity and decrease feelings of hunger. In addition to helping you lose weight, they can also reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease and heart failure.
Talk about an all-rounder!
Some additional benefits of weight loss injections include:
- Only needs to be taken once a week
- Flexible dosage for minimal side effects
- Can be administered without avoiding food or other medications!
You can discuss your specific needs with Synergy Integrative Health and Wellness’ medical weight loss expert and decide together what works best for you.
Are Weight Loss Injections Right For You?
Wondering if weight loss injections are the solution to your weight gain and health issues? Let’s start with three questions to help you figure out whether they’re a good fit for you:
- Are you struggling with weight gain?
- Do you have a weight related health condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes type-2, high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease?
- Have you tried losing weight through conventional methods without getting the results you want?
If you answered ‘YES’ to two or more questions, weight loss injections could be right for you. While results are individual, weight loss injections can help you lose 10-20% (or more!) of your body weight when used consistently and alongside lifestyle changes!
But What About…?
Side Effects
Side effects don’t need to be part of your weight loss journey. At Synergy Integrative Health and Wellness, we’ve worked out how to minimize those side effects or avoid them altogether!
We consider all aspects of your health and health history before recommending weight loss injections or medications to ensure they’re a perfect fit for you.
We also offer compounded medications in select circumstances. These are suitable for those who can’t tolerate commercially available doses. (Note: Compounded medications are not FDA approved). The lower but still effective dose means fewer side effects while still achieving the benefits.
Insurance
Weight loss injections may be covered by your medical health insurance. No coverage? No problem, there are still plenty of options!
Weight Loss Injections and Functional Health
Whether you choose to go with commercial weight loss injections or compounded weight loss injections, you can achieve real weight loss results.
Many weight loss clinics aren’t able to devote a lot of time to their clients or provide support and guidance between visits.
We want to do the opposite.
Our medical weight loss program covers all the bases including comprehensive lab testing, learning about your personal health history and an in-depth consultation with a weight loss expert.
You’ll get:
➔ To discover the root cause of your weight gain and how to reverse it
➔ Your own customized weight loss plan
➔ You’ll have more energy, sleep better at night and feel good about yourself
➔ Lifestyle and nutrition counseling
➔ Ongoing guidance and support the whole way through
➔ Regular lab monitoring so you can see the progress you’re making!

Here’s How It Worked for Our Clients
"I’ve been struggling for 24 years to lose weight or keep it off. I was always tired and down. My mental health declined, which only heightened my pre-existing PTSD symptoms. Judy shared how weight loss medication would not only help me lose the weight but had research supporting that mood likely would improve due to increased energy. I have to be honest—initially, I was skeptical, hearing that a little shot would create what I would call a miracle. But I lost weight, and I’ve been holding steady with it.”
– T.L.
"Judy, Kiam and Amy have been instrumental in helping with my journey to wellness and weight loss. Working with each of them has aided in mental, emotional and physical changes which have made it possible for me to lose weight and in a healthy manner. I am able to continue my journey armed with a new mindset, nutritional knowledge and understanding of my medication and how it all works together for me to reach my goals. I truly can’t thank you enough!"
