Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a journey that requires more than willpower—it often involves advanced medical support to achieve lasting results. At Genuine Care Physician in Forest Hills, NY, we’re proud to offer innovative weight loss solutions, including the powerful combination of GLP-1 medications and TruBody, a body contouring treatment. Let’s explore how this dynamic duo can transform your weight loss journey and support your overall health goals.
Understanding GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications—such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)—are part of a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. These medications work by mimicking the natural GLP-1 hormone in your body, helping to regulate blood sugar, reduce appetite, and slow stomach emptying. Together, these actions help curb cravings, promote a sense of fullness, and support steady weight loss.
How GLP-1 Works:
✅ Slows gastric emptying, reducing hunger
✅ Increases insulin secretion after meals
✅ Lowers glucagon production (which reduces blood sugar spikes)
✅ Promotes feelings of fullness and satiety
Clinical studies have shown that GLP-1 medications can help patients lose significant amounts of weight—up to 15% of their starting body weight in some cases—when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
Introducing TruBody: Targeted Body Contouring
TruBody is a non-invasive body contouring technology that combines two powerful treatments: TruSculpt and TruFlex. While GLP-1 medications help you lose weight throughout your body, TruBody allows you to target specific areas of concern for more sculpted, toned results.
Key Benefits of TruBody:
- TruSculpt iD: Uses radiofrequency energy to permanently destroy fat cells in stubborn areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms.
- TruFlex: Uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to tone and strengthen muscles, creating a leaner and firmer appearance.
These treatments are quick, safe, and require no downtime—perfect for patients who want noticeable results without surgery.
The Synergy: Why Combine GLP-1 with TruBody?
While GLP-1 medications work internally to reduce appetite and promote weight loss, TruBody treatments externally sculpt and refine body shape. This powerful combination addresses both overall weight loss and targeted body contouring, delivering comprehensive results.
Key Advantages of the Combination Approach:
- Enhanced fat reduction: GLP-1 helps reduce overall body fat, while TruSculpt targets persistent fat pockets.
- Improved muscle tone: TruFlex builds and strengthens muscles to complement your leaner shape.
- Better health outcomes: Weight loss supported by medical therapy can improve metabolic health, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
Who is a Good Candidate?
This combination approach may be ideal for you if:
- You’re struggling with weight loss despite diet and exercise efforts
- You’re interested in non-surgical, targeted body sculpting
- You’re looking for a medically supervised weight loss program
- You want to improve your overall health and well-being
At Genuine Care Physician, we tailor each weight loss plan to your unique health profile and goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly will I see results with GLP-1 and TruBody?
A: Many patients begin to notice changes within the first few weeks of starting GLP-1 medications, with steady weight loss over several months. TruBody treatments can deliver visible improvements in body shape and muscle tone in as little as 4–6 weeks.
Q: Are GLP-1 medications safe?
A: Yes. GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for weight loss and have been used safely for years. They’re generally well-tolerated, but they can cause mild side effects such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea, which typically improve over time.
Q: Is TruBody painful?
A: Most patients find TruBody treatments comfortable. You may feel a warming sensation during TruSculpt and a mild tingling or muscle contractions during TruFlex, but there’s no need for anesthesia or downtime.
Q: How many TruBody sessions will I need?
A: This varies by individual and your specific goals. Typically, a series of 4–6 TruBody sessions is recommended to achieve optimal results.
Q: Do I need to make lifestyle changes for this program to work?
