What does medical weight loss consist of?

Medical weight loss at Rise Carmel consists of customized programs that restore hormonal and metabolic balance to optimize your weight loss journey. 

It targets pathways used in fat burning, appetite regulation, and energy production to reset your metabolic system and support your unique needs, particularly during the transitional period to menopause (perimenopause). 

Which medical weight loss solutions are available?

Rise Carmel offers the following treatments to maximize your weight loss journey:

Semglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that boosts weight loss by slowing gastric emptying, reducing your appetite, and improving insulin sensitivity. It reduces cravings, controls hunger, and enhances sustainable weight loss. 

Semaglutide is highly effective for people struggling with obesity and metabolic imbalances.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide works as a GLP-1 and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) receptor agonist. By targeting both of these hormones, tirzepatide maximizes weight loss, regulates your appetite, improves glucose metabolism, reduces fat accumulation, and improves body composition by counteracting metabolic dysfunction.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) therapy

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in living cells. It plays a critical role in energy production, fat metabolism, and cellular repair. 

NAD+ levels tend to decline with age, which can contribute to fatigue, poor metabolism, and weight gain. Replenishing NAD+ boosts cellular energy, enhances fat burning, reduces inflammation, and better supports overall metabolic function.
