Get Informed about Changing Tides Weight Loss
While GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® and Weygovy® are widely advertised, what sets Changing Tides Weight Loss apart is our commitment to long-lasting results. A quick consultation and prescription aren't enough. You deserve thoughtful recommendations, personalized guidance on dosage, nutrition, side effects mitigation, muscle preservation, contraception, and more. Our dedicated team knows you and is here to support you at every step, ensuring your success and debunking the myth of failed users.
Compounded Semaglutide and Compounded Tirzepatide offer alternatives to brand names Ozempic® and Mounjaro™, addressing the severe shortage of these medications. Our approach is cautious and selective – we choose compounded formulations with Vitamin B12 for Semaglutide and Vitamin B3 for Tirzepatide. This ensures superior quality while being more readily available and cost-effective. At Changing Tides Weight Loss, you have the choice to select the brand name or compounded medication that best suits your needs.
GLP-1 medications, potent tools for achieving significant weight loss, come with risks and side effects. Thyroid cancer, gastroparesis, gall bladder disease, and pancreatitis are major concerns, while nausea, constipation, and diarrhea are common side effects. These medications require close supervision by knowledgeable healthcare providers. At Changing Tides Weight Loss, we prioritize your safety, ensuring you have a dedicated healthcare provider readily available throughout your journey.
While GLP-1 medications boast a high success rate, lasting weight loss requires more than medication alone. Our Holistic approach emphasizes your commitment to optimal diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits, offering you the best chance to achieve and maintain your desired results.
Concerned about regaining weight after stopping medication? At Changing Tides Weight Loss, we offer the Celebrate Life, Quick Start Program followed by a maintenance program. We believe in lifelong ventures toward a healthy weight and lifestyle, providing unwavering support throughout your entire journey and beyond. Your success is our commitment.
