New Weight Loss Program Featuring Semaglutide Peptide Therapy
Dragonfly 360 would like to introduce a new weight loss program that uses semaglutide peptide therapy, along with expert nutritional guidance, to help those who are struggling to achieve their weight loss goals.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1) agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion. The key is that GLP-1 helps to lower blood sugar and decrease your appetite.
To explain further, semaglutide helps your pancreas release insulin by activating a blood-sugar regulating protein found within the beta cells of your pancreas. As a result, blood sugar levels decrease which in turn decreases hunger and cravings leading to an increase in weight loss . In addition to targeting areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake, it also slows gastric emptying to make you feel more full.
In clinical trials semaglutide peptide therapy proved it can be effective for both overweight and obese individuals. As with any weight loss program, semaglutide works best with a healthy holistic diet and exercise program, so you must be willing to make changes with our guidance.
Being obese or overweight is associated with some leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes, and is linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer.
If you’re overweight or obese, let us help you succeed in achieving your weight loss goals and optimal health.
Holistic Offerings for Digestive Issues Affecting Weight Loss
Personalized Diet & Supplementation
Digestive Health
In order to lose weight, your digestive system must be functioning optimally. When intestinal membranes are overloaded with mucous and toxic material, they are no longer able to process and absorb nutrients correctly. To ensure healthy bowels:
- Have more than two bowel movements per day without straining
- Eat 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies daily
- Consume at least 25 g of fiber daily
- Exercise 3-5 times a week
Once the digestive system is fully functioning — through a proper diet or supplements such as herbal remedies or fiber — the next step may be to detoxify your system.
Detoxification
Following the detoxification, a food reintroduction plan should be followed. This will illustrate if the individual has any food sensitivities or allergies. Eliminating or limiting problematic foods from our diet can help our bodies work more efficiently.
Allergy testing can also be ordered via a blood test or using NAET. The results can be used to help with the food sensitivities.
Stress Relief
Using relaxation techniques, aromatherapy, and calming herbs can help balance these reactions. Dr. Melanie teaches techniques that can be used anywhere to help manage stress.
A study at the Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan found, “Lavender aromatherapy reduced serum cortisol.” Inhaling a few drops of lavender can soothe your mind and relax your body. Rubbing several drops of lavender on your feet can also promote relaxation.
