Helping You Achieve Wellness for Life

Where do I begin? Many of us ask ourselves this question before we start a variety of tasks and it’s usually because we are simply not truly up for tackling the daunting task at hand. This goes for weight loss, which isn’t just a Saturday afternoon closet clean out project. People who struggle with weight loss feel it deep in their core, and its often overwhelming to think about where to start, what to do, what to eat or not eat, how to track it, etc. It can be isolating and depressing. And then nothing impactful gets done and we sit in the same cycle of “Where do I begin?”.

The good news is that places like Northwell Medical Solutions want to take that worry and stress out of your mind. By running a wellness clinic that specializes in FDA-Approved GLP-1 medication, we can take you from “where do I begin” to “I know exactly where to start!”

Let’s start with what is a GLP-1 medication and how does it help? A Glucagon Like Peptide is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar. This GLP-1 goes through your gastrointestinal track to make you feel full sooner after eating (so you begin consuming smaller portions) and you stay fuller longer so you eat less than you normally would when not on a GLP-1. Coupled with physically feeling full for longer periods of time due to the slow in gastric emptying, the medication also works through your hypothalamus to tell your brain you’re still full and that you’re not ready to eat again. Basically, it curbs your cravings, so you aren’t reaching for the chips or cookies as frequently as you used to.

For people who consume food too frequently or who continue to eat larger portions than they should, this medication is perfect for you! Additionally, for people who really have tried so many other weight loss programs and found underwhelming results, or it required too much dieting and exercise, then this is right up your alley. It’s safe, effective and has immensely proven results! Not only does it help with dropping pounds, but it also helps with reducing risk of heart attacks and stroke as well. 

Ideally, a patient who begins this weight loss treatment is committed to eating healthier and moving their body more than they previously did as that will result in quicker more evident pound shedding than those who remain sedentary and eat/drink heavy calories. However, no one expects you to starve or go run a marathon. That’s just silly.

Getting on our GLP-1 program is meant to let you keep living your life the way you want to (mostly). Whether you are looking to lose 15 or 50 pounds, beginning our GLP-1 medical program will give you a “gastric bypass in a bottle” and is certainly the direction to go if you’re ready to start feeling better! Northwell Medical Solutions has made this affordable and attainable for you and is equipped to answer any questions you have along the way. We’ll get you in front of our Idaho State Licensed Physicians for a health evaluation and we’ll manage your prescription and dosing to make this journey as easy as possible for you. We cannot wait to partner with you and walk hand in hand down the road to getting you WELLTHY!

Energy Balls of YUM

It’s 3pm, you’re feeling the afternoon slump kick in and all you want to do is take a quick power nap but there’s no sign of taking a snooze in sight. How about you try another route – power balls! No, not the lottery kind. The kind that gives you a little energy boost without the crash that comes with sugary treats. These energy balls are so simple to make, require no baking whatsoever, and can be tailored to your taste buds by adding some oats, chocolate morsels, and even extra honey for ooey gooey deliciousness.    Start by grabbing a bowl and a mixing spoon. Then grab your ingredients and start mixing however much of each you want into your bowl. The larger the portions, the larger the batch will be! If you make it too thick or chunky to start, you can always add more honey or peanut butter to thin it a bit.   Creamy Peanut Butter:  This is the key ingredient because it’s your binder- it keeps everything stuck together. Also, if you prefer not to use...

Walk It Out

Ever wonder what one of the best exercises for weight loss is? Did you assume it has to be running and/or lifting repetitious weights? Well, guess what… it’s neither! In fact, one of the best workouts for losing weight is something you are already doing every day. WALKING! Walking is a low stress cardio workout that doesn’t stress your joints or intensely strain your body. It gets your heart pumping and the calories burning and is something you can easily do every day, gradually increasing the amount of steps as you go. Walking, especially daily, is known to increase energy levels, reduce your body weight, improve your heart health and cardiovascular fitness, prevent or manage conditions such as heart disease, stroke, cancers, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.
