Weight Loss Without GLP-1

Medical Weight Loss Without GLP-1 Medications

Non-Surgical • No GLP-1 • Physician-Supervised

Medical weight loss for people who cannot use, or prefer not to use, GLP-1 medication.

GLP-1 medications are not right for everyone. Some people do not qualify, some have side effects, and some simply prefer not to use them. Others have already used them and want help keeping the weight off. This program gives you medical support to lose weight without GLP-1 medication.

It is planned and supervised by a board-certified physician at Valoura Med Spa in Savoy, a few minutes from Champaign and Urbana.

WHO IT SUITS

Often a good fit for:

• ✓ People who do not qualify for GLP-1 medication
• ✓ People who had side effects on GLP-1 medication
• ✓ People who prefer not to use GLP-1 medication
• ✓ People who have stopped GLP-1 medication and want to keep their result
• ✓ Anyone who wants a medically guided plan with realistic goals

WHAT THE PROGRAM CAN INCLUDE

Depending on your needs:

• ✓ Physician evaluation and lab work
• ✓ Metabolic testing and body composition
• ✓ Nutrition counseling from your physician, with referral to a nutritionist when appropriate
• ✓ An activity plan that fits your life
• ✓ Hormone evaluation where there is a medical reason

MEDICATION AND INJECTIONS FOR SELECTED PATIENTS

For selected patients, your physician may recommend MICC injections – a blend of methionine, inositol, choline and vitamin B12 – or a non-GLP-1 prescription medication such as phentermine-topiramate or naltrexone-bupropion. These are chosen by your physician based on your health history, other medications and goals. They are not suitable for everyone – for example, during pregnancy or with certain heart, seizure or eye conditions – and not every plan includes them.

KEEPING WEIGHT OFF AFTER GLP-1

When GLP-1 medication stops, appetite often returns and weight can come back. A maintenance plan – built before you stop – helps. We look at eating patterns, protein intake, strength training and regular follow-up to help protect the progress you have made.
