Weight Management at Total Health Dental Care

Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved medications originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes but have also been found to be highly effective for weight loss. They work by targeting specific pathways in the body that regulate appetite and metabolism, helping to reduce hunger and support sustained weight loss. Both medications are part of a comprehensive weight management program at Total Health Dental Care, designed to help you achieve your health goals.

While both Ozempic and Mounjaro are effective for weight loss, they work slightly differently in the body. Ozempic primarily focuses on enhancing the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates blood sugar and appetite. Mounjaro, on the other hand, targets additional pathways, offering potentially enhanced efficacy for certain individuals. During your consultation at Total Health Dental Care, Dr. Connors will assess your specific needs and medical history to determine which medication is best suited for your weight loss journey.

At Total Health Dental Care, your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we evaluate your health, discuss your goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Once you start on Ozempic or Mounjaro, our dedicated healthcare team will provide ongoing support, monitoring your progress and adjusting your plan as needed to ensure you achieve safe and effective results. Our holistic approach ensures that your weight loss journey is part of a broader focus on total body wellness.

As with any medication, there can be side effects when using Ozempic or Mounjaro. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects are generally mild and tend to diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. During your consultation, Dr. Connors will discuss potential side effects and ensure that you are well-informed before starting treatment. We’re committed to your safety and will closely monitor your progress throughout the program.

The timeline for weight loss results can vary depending on individual factors, including your starting weight, lifestyle, and adherence to the program. Many patients begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks of starting treatment with Ozempic or Mounjaro. However, achieving significant and sustainable weight loss is a gradual process. Our team at Total Health Dental Care will work with you to track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure you achieve your goals.

Getting started is easy! Simply schedule a consultation with Dr. Connors at Total Health Dental Care. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your weight loss goals, evaluate your health, and determine the best approach for you. Whether you’re considering Ozempic, Mounjaro, or both, our team is here to support you every step of the way on your journey to a healthier, happier you.
