Jumpstart Your Weight-Loss Journey

If you’ve struggled with obesity, you already know that it can impact virtually every aspect of your health. If you’ve struggled with weight issues, you know it’s not easy. Obesity can contribute to serious, chronic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and can shorten life expectancy. Obesity can also interfere with:

pain management
healthy sleep patterns
social interactions
mental health
sexual performance.

The good news is that we’re in a new era of treatment for obesity. Combined with lifestyle changes, prescription weight-loss medication could help jumpstart a new journey to a healthier life.

Prescription Weight-loss Medication

Prescription weight-loss medications that include Semaglutide work by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. These medications have been shown to stimulate insulin production, inhibit glucagon release, and slow down stomach emptying.

Translation: Curbing hunger, by feeling full faster and longer.

With medications that treat obesity, people who have struggled with weight loss can find relief for serious, chronic conditions. The benefits of weight loss include:

increased energy
better sleep and improvement with conditions such as sleep apnea
improved mental health, such as depression related to obesity
improved cardiovascular health, including lowering blood pressure and risk of heart disease.

Your New Employee Benefit

You’ve probably heard that prescription weight-loss medications can be expensive. We are excited to announce PHMP has partnered with a health and wellness company, KORB Health Group, to provide you with a discounted weight loss program that includes:

Get the Facts

Before you take any medications or begin a new health plan, you should learn as much as you can about the benefits and or possible side effects.

Combined with lifestyle and behavior changes, including healthy eating and increased physical activity, prescription medications help some people lose weight and maintain weight loss, according to the National Institutes of Health.

On average, after 1 year, adults who take prescription medications as part of a lifestyle program lose 3% to 12% more of their starting body weight than people in a lifestyle program who do not take medication. Other studies show average weight loss to be 15 percent of total body weight.

Results vary by medication and by person, but that weight loss can help improve your health by lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels. Losing weight can improve other health problems related to being overweight or obesity, such as joint pain and sleep apnea.

Possible side effects vary by medication and how it acts on your body. Most side effects are mild— nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation are by far the most common side effects of GLP-1 drugs—and most often improve if you continue to take the medication. Rarely, serious side effects can occur.
