Medication Options
MIC/MIC B12 Injections
MICC Injections weekly offer additional assistance in weight loss with combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine. This injection is capable of enhancing liver function, aiding in cholesterol buildup and helping to remove toxins from the liver. The combinations of Methionine, Inositol, and Choline aid in eliminating fat cell deposits.
MICC injections are used to release fat throughout the body targeting its primary fat deposits in the stomach, inner thighs, buttocks, hips, neck, and underarms. Inositol helps the liver remove the fat while Choline helps distribute cholesterol and prevents it from getting deposited into one part of the body. Methionine functions similar to Inositol, but amplifies the combination.
When B12 is used in the injection it accelerates the individuals metabolism, while creating energy and helping aid in the breakdown of fatty tissue.
MICC Injections $50 weekly / $250 for 6 injections.
Vitamin B12 Injections
B12 benefits your metabolism by converting carbohydrates into usable glucose in the body. Glucose from carbohydrate rich foods is used as a form of energy. This is the reason why individuals that are B12 deficient experience fatigue. B12 is also needed for neurotransmitter signaling ones muscles to contract while providing energy to go about the day without feeling tired and run down.
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin for addressing adrenal fatigue, multiple metabolic functions, including enzyme production, and hormone balance while also maintaining a healthy nervous system.

Vitamin D3 K2 (MK7)
Vitamin D 3 (Cholecalciferol) helps fight disease, reduces depression and boosts weight loss. Most individuals are deficient in Vitamin D. D3 also helps your body absorb calcium while Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone) helps the body transport it to the bones and teeth rather than letting it set in the arteries and other soft tissues.
D3K2 also offers a role in supporting immune function, muscle function and athletic performance. Vitamin D3 is linked to improved metabolic function and helps with fat reduction. D3 & K2 together, indirectly impact with management.
For optimal absorption, D3K2 is best taken with breakfast or lunch with water and a meal containing fat or oil.

GLP1 Agonists
GLP1 Agonists are medications that can aid in weigh loss by mimicking the effects of the natural hormone GLP-1. They work by suppressing the appetite, slowing down digestion, and improving insulin function which leads to reduced food intake and potentially weight loss.
GLP-1 agonists can lead to significant weight loss, with some studies showing on average weight loss of 10% to 15% or more.
GLP-1 medications are not a magic bullet and are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes lifestyle changes including a healthy diet and fitness routine.
Examples of common GLP-1 medications are Semaglutide (Wegovy, Rybelsus), Tirzepatide (Zepbound), Liraglutide (Saxenda), and Dulaglutide (Trulicity).
Clients interested in starting a GLP-1 for weight loss management, schedule an appointment to discuss goals and create a fitness and nutrition plan.

Retatrutide improves glucose homeostasis by targeting receptors improving insulin secretion, reduces blood sugar levels, and enhances glucose metabolism.
Helps regulate appetite, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss.
Increases energy expenditure which further contributes to weight loss.
Cardiovascular benefits improving cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic dysfunction associated with steatotic liver disease.
This medication is still being researched but showing great promise as a new class of weight loss medications. Phase 2 Clinical Trial showed substantial weight reductions in adults with obesity, demonstrating some participants losing up to 24.2% of their body weight. Phase 3 Clinical Trial is ongoing to further evaluate the efficiency, safety, and long-term effects of the medication.
