Social media is full of fad diets and weight loss supplements that promise to help people lose weight quickly. They offer miracle-esque weight loss solutions, and while some of them are effective in the short term, they seldom offer long-term results.
However, there are some weight loss programs that focus on a natural portion of our body that affects weight loss: hormones. These magical molecules may just be the key to helping people meet their weight loss goals.
How hormones affect your weight
The connection between hormones and weight loss has long been known. Hormones play an essential role in our metabolism, and the hormone insulin, in particular, has a pivotal role in our body’s ability to regulate its glucose levels.
There are also hormones that regulate the body’s feelings of hunger: leptin and ghrelin. Although levels of leptin and ghrelin are proportionate to the level of body fat an individual has, those who are obese can start to build up resistance to these hunger-regulating hormones.
As such, people who are obese tend to have greater feelings of hunger, even when their nutritional needs are fully met. Thankfully, the medical industry has found some solutions to this phenomenon that allow people to curb their appetite. The class of drugs known as GLP1 agonists was initially used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes because they stimulate the body to produce more insulin.
“Although the exact cause of GLP1s helping with weight loss is still unknown, doctors have found time and time again that they appear to curb hunger and cause food to move more slowly into the small intestine from the stomach,” explains Sergio Padron, founder and CEO of MD Exam.
How MD Exam uses hormones to promote weight loss
MD Exam is a revolutionary new telemedicine weight loss program that combines these powerful weight loss drugs with the assistance of trained and experienced coaches and modern technology. With the combination of lifestyle changes and appetite suppression caused by weight loss drugs, patients can be well on their weight loss and wellness goals.
Unfortunately, many weight loss fads tend to focus on unsustainable methods that could wreck the individual’s metabolism. However, the programs offered by MD Exam lean into the patient’s metabolism and help take advantage of it, enabling it to help people lose weight.
“The primary goal of the drugs used in MD Exam’s weight loss programs is to allow individuals to feel full faster,” Padron explains. “The result, ideally, is that those people will eat less food. When combined with lifestyle changes, such as an increase in exercise and dieting habits that inspire them to choose healthier foods, patients in MD Exam’s weight loss program can lose weight at a healthy rate.”
The main program offered by MD Exam is called the “Game Changer” program, which is based around Semaglutide, a highly-effective GLP1 drug. Available as a weekly injection or an oral dissolvable tablet, this medicine interacts with the hormones that make you feel hungry, thus making you feel full faster. This medication has been approved by the FDA as a weight loss management drug for adults who are overweight or obese since 2021.
For those for whom the Game Changer program is not enough, MD Exam also offers what they call the “Ultimate” program. This program uses Tirzepatide — the strongest weight loss drug currently available on the market — and combines the appetite-suppressing effects of GLP1s with GIPs, which creates a radically different relationship with food.
“Because of the drastic effects of this particular regiment of weight loss drugs, the doctors at MD Exam suggest patients try the Game Changer program first,” says Padron. “But patients who need more substantial assistance to reach their weight loss goals have access to it via the Ultimate program. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide affect patients differently — each one works in different ways — but so long as patients take the time and effort to change their lifestyle along with these drugs, they both provide similar results at the end of the day.”
MD Exam’s programs are backed by science
Since MD Exam’s programs are based around FDA-approved drugs, there are ample trials and research available proving their effectiveness. Unlike many weight loss fads and programs based on products whose efficacy is often based on self-performed tests, all medicines involved in MD Exam’s programs have gone through the rigorous clinical trial process required to receive approval from the FDA.
MD Exam’s website contains client testimonials that praise the company’s programs for their ability to help them lose weight much faster than diet or exercise could alone. MD Exam patients have reported losing 10 to 20 pounds in weeks — not months — and thanks to the tools, resources, and coaching support provided by the MD Exam team, patients have the help they need to successfully navigate their weight loss journey.
The reason why MD Exam’s programs are so successful is that they use medicines that tap into the body’s hormones — its natural means of regulating weight gain and loss. All the drugs prescribed by MD Exam’s doctors are FDA-approved and tested, meaning patients can rest assured knowing that their weight loss solutions are scientifically-proven.
“For those looking to lose weight and feel great this summer, there’s hardly a better program than MD Exam,” Padron concludes.
