Let's Get Healthy and Stay Healthy with NP Kearney!!

Happy New Year everyone! It's always exciting to start a new year. The feelings of having another "beginning" are truly rewarding. You get another chance to set new goals and dream bigger dreams. And with the new year, we always set those wonderful resolutions!

The most familiar new year resolution is... drum roll please.........TO LOSE WEIGHT! Of course, everyone wants to lose those holiday pounds. After a couple of months of eating all that turkey, ham, chicken, corn, and yams; greens, beans, potatoes; mixed drinks, sweet tea, lemonade, and sodas; cakes, cookies and pies...LAWD...we'll start to see the results, around our waistlines settling in. Now fatigue is noticeable, you're feeling sluggish. bloated and all you want to do is sleep. (I'm really talking about myself here!)

So go ahead, get your gym memberships, apply your waist trainers, and dust off your active wear! You still have time for all the temporary discounts!! Change your eating habits back to reasonable portion sizes and no late-night eating. Develop your routine again and adhere to it.

But if you need a little bit of assistance, lipotropic injections, also known as "lipo shots," B12 shots, vitamin shots, or the "skinny shots," are wonderful options, to jump-start your metabolism and possibly decrease your appetite. Administered weekly, along with modifying your lifestyle, such as lowering your caloric intake and increasing your physical activities, lipotropic injections could also help with weight loss, approximately losing 2 to 5 pounds a week.

Today, I want to share some information, about lipotropic injections, from Olympia Pharmaceuticals, a 503A /503B sterile compounding pharmacy, and a current supplier of numerous weight management medications.

**Please see the information below and read exactly what Olympia Pharmaceuticals says about the safety of weight-loss injections:

"Are Weight-Loss Injections Safe?

For many obese individuals trying to lose weight, it can be difficult to stick to diet and exercise without someone else holding them accountable. That’s why many physicians offer weight management solutions to help keep their weight-loss goals in sight.

What Are Weight-Loss Injections?

In addition to motivation, a nutrition plan and daily exercise, one common weight-management option a physician might recommend are vitamin injectables. Unlike extreme dieting and other methods of weight loss, vitamin injections implement nutrients straight into the body’s tissues, which ensures 100% absorption of its active ingredients into the body. These injections help suppress appetite, build muscle and lay the foundation for a healthy immune system.

Who Are They Right For?

Weight-loss injections are meant for individuals who are clinically classified as obese—meaning their body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. They are not meant to be used as a “quick-fix” option or for people who are just trying to lose a couple pounds. Unsure if you suffer from obesity? Assess the following symptoms to see if you may be considered obese: extreme daily exhaustion, increased sweating, inability to handle sudden physical activity, back or joint pain, loss of breath, etc. To be completely sure, ask your physician to give you a medical assessment.

Are They Safe to Use?

Generally speaking: yes. However, it’s important to know that there are prescription injections and over-the-counter injections. Always ensure that a physician has prescribed a specific injection prior to purchasing and administering one. At Olympia, we require a doctor’s approval in order to purchase these injections.

Remember: not all medications are suited for everyone, so it’s important that a licensed physician recommends the weight-loss solution that best suits your body.

Benefits of Treatment

After a physician has prescribed weight-loss injection plan that’s right for you, you should see significant health benefits soon after. The benefits of medically supervised weight loss include:

– Decreased blood pressure

– Less joint and back pain

– Improved heart health

– More self-confidence

– Better sexual experiences"

As a weight management specialist, I believe that these injections present very low risks and minimum, if any, side effects. I hope you all "stick" to your desired weight goals and become a better, healthier you!
