“Medical weight loss” is a physician-supervised approach to weight management that uses prescription medications, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle support to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Unlike over-the-counter supplements or trendy diets, medical weight loss programs use FDA-approved medications that have been clinically proven to support significant weight loss.

At Spruce Medispa, we offer:

• Prescription Weight Loss Medications: These injectable medications work by mimicking natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. They help you feel fuller longer, reduce cravings, and support healthy eating habits.
• Lipotropic Injections: These nutrient-rich injections contain vitamins and compounds that support your body's fat metabolism and energy production, complementing your weight loss efforts.

The key to medical weight loss success is combining effective medications with healthy lifestyle changes. The medications help control hunger and cravings, making it easier to stick to a nutritious diet and exercise routine. Together, these elements create the foundation for significant, sustainable weight loss.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are prescription injectable medications that have revolutionized medical weight loss.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a natural hormone your body produces. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar levels, slows digestion, and sends fullness signals to your brain. By enhancing these natural processes, Semaglutide helps you:

• Feel fuller after eating smaller portions
• Experience reduced hunger between meals
• Have fewer cravings for unhealthy foods
• Improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control
• Achieve significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a newer medication that works on two hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP), offering even more powerful appetite control and weight loss results. It provides similar benefits to Semaglutide but may be even more effective for some people.

How They're Administered

Both medications are given as simple self-administered injections once weekly, typically in your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. At Spruce Medispa, we include B12 with both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to support energy levels and overall wellness during your weight loss journey.

These medications are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive program that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise. They're not magic; they're powerful tools that make it easier to adopt and maintain the lifestyle changes necessary for lasting weight loss.

Lipotropic injections are nutrient-rich formulations that support your body's natural fat metabolism and energy production. At Spruce Medispa, we combine vitamin B12 with MIC (Methionine, Inositol, and Choline) to create a powerful injection that helps accelerate fat loss and boost energy.

• Vitamin B12: B12 is essential for energy production, metabolism, and overall health. Many people are deficient in B12, which can lead to fatigue and sluggish metabolism. Supplementing with B12 injections can increase energy levels, support healthy metabolism, improve mood and mental clarity, and enhance overall wellness
• Methionine: An essential amino acid that supports the digestive system, methionine helps remove heavy metals from the body, and breaks down fat deposits to prevent buildup in arteries. Methionine also converts to cysteine, a precursor of glutathione, which is essential for liver detoxification.
• Inositol: Inositol supports nutrient transfer at the cellular level and helps maintain proper electrical energy across cell membranes. Inositol converts fats into other useful forms of energy and assists in establishing healthy cell membranes, facilitating nerve impulses.
• Choline: Choline helps control cholesterol levels and weight gain by maintaining healthy cell membranes. It’s linked to nervous system maintenance, it assists memory, and it’s critical for normal cell membrane structure and function. Choline is also the precursor of betaine, which helps liver function.

Lipotropic B12 and MIC injections are administered weekly to maintain consistent support for your metabolism and energy levels throughout your weight loss journey.

These injections work best when combined with a healthy diet and exercise program. They can be used alone or alongside Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for enhanced results.

Results vary based on which treatment you choose, your starting weight, and your commitment to lifestyle changes, but medical weight loss programs consistently deliver significant results.

With Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

Clinical studies show that patients lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight over 6-12 months when combining these medications with diet and exercise. For example, someone weighing 200 pounds might lose 30-40 pounds during treatment.

Many patients notice:

• Reduced appetite within the first few weeks
• Steady weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week
• Improved blood sugar control
• Better energy levels
• Reduced cravings
• More sustainable healthy eating habits

With Lipotropic B12 and MIC Injections

While not as dramatic as prescription medications, many people experience:

• Increased energy and motivation for exercise
• Enhanced fat metabolism
• Improved mood and mental clarity
• Better overall wellness
