Weight loss FQA
In addition to a customized diet and exercise plan, medical weight loss includes prescribed medications that encourage weight loss and occurs under the close supervision of a medical provider.
- As everyone’s body is unique, it’s impossible to predict the exact weight change one may experience with Semaglutide. Some individuals may see minimal changes initially as the medication is gradually introduced, while others may experience immediate shifts. Opting for Revived Wellness’ Complete Weight Loss Protocols, which includes a comprehensive whole-body approach along with the powerful Semaglutide protocol, may result in a faster release of fat and toxins and reduced symptoms. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that there are no guarantees when it comes to weight loss and that the best plan for your particular situation would need to be determined.
- Your Nurse Practitioner introductory call will determine if you are a fit for our semaglutide protocol, but people who are definitely not great candidates would be:
- Individuals under 18 years old
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Those with type 1 diabetes mellitus
- People who have had an allergic reaction to semaglutide or any of its components
- Individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
- Those with a history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome
- People who have had pancreatitis in the past
- Individuals with end-stage renal disease who are on dialysis
- Type 2 diabetic patients who are currently taking insulin or a sulfonylurea
- Patients with diabetic retinopathy
- · People who are taking multiple antihypertensive medications
Given that Semaglutide affects multiple processes in the body, it wouldn’t be surprising to experience some side effects. The nature and severity of these may differ between individuals and generally decrease over time as the body becomes accustomed to the medication. Common side effects include nausea, digestive issues (such as constipation or diarrhea), abdominal discomfort (gas, bloating), fatigue, changes in blood sugar levels, emotional and mood changes, and hormonal changes.
There are many advantages to losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight. Some of the benefits of weight loss include:
- Better sleep
- Improved hormonal balance
- Improved mood
- Enhanced sex drive
Reduction of discomfort and pain
Increased energy
Reduced risk of chronic medical conditions
Weight loss is essential to keeping health problems at bay. Some of the chronic medical conditions you can avoid by maintaining a healthy weight include diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, hypertension, and high cholesterol. If you’re already dealing with these issues, we will address them during your physical at one of our location.
Men’s FQA
No studies have shown that TRT shortens lifespan, and many have shown that it benefits men’s health. In fact, low testosterone actually increases men’s risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and osteoporosis. The few studies that have shown a correlation between TRT and increased risk of cardiovascular disease were poorly designed. For example, in one study, all of the participants were in their 70s and already had health problems. Multiple medical societies called for the retraction of these studies. That said, there are always potential risks with any medical treatment, and it’s important to be aware of those before starting.
Taking testosterone on its own will reduce the body’s production of sperm, which leads to infertility. If fertility is desired, you can take Clomid to maintain sperm production.
No. If you stop testosterone, your body will start producing it on its own again, but your levels may not be as high as they were while on TRT. Many men simply feel better when their testosterone is at a higher level than what their body produces naturally.
The so-called “normal” range of testosterone, for men, is considered to be between 300-1100 ng/dL. However, this range actually has little-to-no evidence behind it. It also doesn’t take into consideration the man’s age or body size. A 35-year-old man should have a higher testosterone level than a 65-year-old man. A guy who is 6’3”, 250 lbs needs more testosterone than a man who is 5’8”, 165 lbs. Makes sense, right?
Most men feel better when their level is at the higher end of the range. If your natural total testosterone level is above 550 ng/dL, you likely do not need testosterone replacement therapy. That said, every man is different, and it’s worthwhile to look into TRT if you have symptoms of hypogonadism.
The reality is, men’s average testosterone levels were much higher 1-2 generations ago than they are now, because men were healthier then. A 2007 study showed that American men’s testosterone levels had been declining by about 1% per year since 1987, even when adjusted for age. Assuming this trend has continued, that means a 45-year-old man today would have a testosterone level 20% lower than that of a 45-year-old man 20 years ago. A Danish study from 2010 had similar findings, showing that men who were born in the 1960s had testosterone levels 14% lower, on average, than men born in the 1920s.
Men today are not as strong as their fathers and grandfathers were, which is likely related to the fact that their testosterone levels are lower. Average grip strength among men in the U.S. decreased from 117 pounds of force in 1985 to just 98 pounds of force in 2016. This has major health implications. In fact, weak grip strength has been found to be a greater predictor of mortality than high blood pressure.
No significant side effects are generally seen. Occasionally, our clients might report cooling their arms or a warm sensation as certain nutrients enter their bloodstream. These are normal occurrences.

It varies. Depending on your specific treatment, most of our drips take anywhere between 30-45 minutes. Our boosters and shots are conveniently added to the drips or administered directly to the patient. This process adds little to no time to the total drip.
Many of the helpful effects from the IV come from rapidly replacing fluids, electrolytes, medications, and vitamins to help you recover. This is more rapid than ingesting the ingredients because you bypass the gastrointestinal tract and have a faster rate of absorption and faster effect of the medications. It’s amazing how you will feel after your therapy.
All our IVs are started by licensed medical professionals including Nurses, EMTs, Nurse Practitoners and Physicians. You will have an experienced professional.
