WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION

Weight loss medications, are prescribe to reduce your appetite and food cravings. Over the last few years, the FDA has approved a number of anti-obesity medications that help control appetite and food cravings.

Because weight loss medications make you less hungry, they also reduce how many calories your body takes in each day. Over time, eating fewer calories will cause you to lose weight.

Some anti-obesity medications also help decrease cravings and control compulsive eating, especially for sweets and fatty, salty, high-calorie foods.

Dr.Onwuka’s main focus is on diet, exercise and medication, to help you achieve your goals!

FDA-approved weight loss medications

VITAMIN B-12

Vitamin B12 delivers many benefits to your health, including:

  • Increased energy

  • Increased metabolism

  • Enhanced weight loss

  • Improved memory

  • Improved immune function

  • Anti-aging benefits

Stress and unhealthy lifestyle habits like poor diet can interfere with natural vitamin B12 levels in the blood and lead to a deficiency. Vitamin B12 supplements restore deficient levels of the nutrient and provide an added energy boost so you can focus on improving your health. Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin, meaning it is not easily stored by the body and so must be replenished daily to prevent deficiency. Oral supplements deliver increased levels of vitamin B12 to the body, but a large portion of the nutrient is discarded during digestion. Energy and wellness injections featuring vitamin B12 introduce the nutrient directly into the bloodstream, providing patients with an immediate boost of energy and eliminating the risk of the nutrient’s properties being discarded during the digestion process. By injecting vitamin B12 intravenously, Dr. O is able to provide you with a greater dosage of the nutrient than would be safe to consume orally. Vitamin B12 injections can improve your energy levels, increase your weight loss efforts and enhance your health.
