Weight Loss Treatments
For a weight loss plan to be effective it must include lifestyle changes to ensure that gains made are lasting. It is essential to include real and progressive exercise into your weight loss plan. Make it a part of your weekly routine so excuses are hard to make.
We offer compassionate but real nurse coaching at Nomad. If you want to be told only what you want to hear, Nomad isn’t going to be your jam. We believe that being honest is paramount, especially when it comes to health and wellness. Nomad Wellness will always strive to firmly advocate in your best interests, especially where exercise and an active lifestyle are concerned.
Sermorelin:
Sermorelin is synthetic growth hormone releasing hormone(GHRH) that, when injected, induces the release of human growth hormone from the pituitary gland. The release of growth hormone results in several physiological responses that include:
decreased body fat
increased muscle development and repair
increased healing and decreased recovery time
improved libido and mood
improved sleep and cognition
improved insulin sensitivity
Who should take Sermorelin?:
Consider sermorelin if you are active and you want to maximize your training while losing 5-20lbs. For BMI<27
Who shouldn’t take Sermorelin?:
History of or active cancer
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Professional athletes
What you have to do:
Book through app.
The sermorelin regimen requires a nurse assessment and an HCP consultation. You will be educated on giving yourself subcutaneous injections and you will be required to give yourself injections 5 nights a week. These are the same kinds of injections that many diabetics give themselves. After 3 months you will again visit with the provider for a wellness check-in. Depending on how you are doing, you will usually then be prescribed the second 3 month course. After 6 months a 30 day break is required.
You will have monthly visits with your nurse to confirm wellness and ensure safety and efficacy. With this visit you get 20% off any recovery or energy infusion to maximize your workout. Promo code pep1
How much?:
$274.00/month at standard dosing. If you are prescribed the high dose medication an additional $20.00 will be charged. This price includes all medication, consult, and nurse visits.
Carnitine:
This amino acid is responsible for fatty acid transport into the mitochondria, which makes it a key component of energy production. Much of our dietary carnitine is via meat and dairy. Increased levels of carnitine can have a profound impact on your health, to include:
weight loss through increased fat mobilization and metabolism
decreased serum cholesterol levels
decreased inflammation
increased exercise efficiency
improved male fertility
may help with depression
may help with neuropathy and have neuroprotective features
What’s this about decreased risk of coronary artery disease(CAD)?:
Interestingly, oral ingestion of carnitine is associated with increased TMAO levels. This is the compound that is suspected of being responsible for hypercholesterolemia and the resultant atherosclerosis.
As infusions bypass the gut, this means IV supplementation of carnitine doesn’t have the increased TMAO levels and can give you the benefits with far less long term risk!
Pricing:
IV: 4 infusions for $429
IM: 4 injections for $349
$25 provider visit required every 3 months. This is patient specific so you will be sent the medication. That vial will be administered over 4 sessions: price includes all fluid and supplies.
Keep in mind that this price reflects the initial dose, and price will increase with dose changes.
Semaglutide(GLP-1 agonist ):
Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 activates glucagon receptors in the pancreas which leads to increased circulating insulin and slowed gastric motility: this means you have more energy available, you feel less hungry, and you feel full for longer. When used in conjunction with regular and progressive exercise, this treatment will help you decrease caloric intake.
A concern with appetite suppressing medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide is that appetite will return when discontinued, especially if lifestyle changes were never made. Use these to enhance your weight loss plan that includes a progressive exercise regimen.
With this kind of treatment it is important to consider nutritional intake: as you are taking in less it is important to ensure you are taking in the right food. The best approach to diet analysis is to see a nutritionist; barring that, eat more protein.
Tirzepatide(GLP-1/GIP agonist)
This combines the action of GLP-1 with Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide(GIP). These work together to help you feel less hungry and lose weight. Studies have shown this combination to be more effective than GLP-1 alone.
Who should take GLP/GIP?:
Both of these compounds are for chronic weight management in healthy people with BMI over 25 kg/m2, or in people with stable chronic conditions and a BMI over 30 kg/m2. Chronic diseases, especially type 2 diabetes, must be stable prior to starting therapy with Nomad Wellness.
Who shouldn’t take GLP/GIP
History of adverse or allergic response to a GLP-1 or GIP, or any of its ingredients
Uncontrolled hyperglycemia
Uncontrolled chronic disease
History of pancreatitis
Gallbladder disease
Medullary thyroid carcinoma(MTC)
Kidney disease or insufficiency
What you have to do:
Book through app.
An initial RN assessment will take place, and you will then be scheduled for your provider visit.
On approval, these drugs will be sent directly to you. You will be educated on self-administration.
