✨ Patient Spotlight: Lynn’s Journey ✨

Lynn joined our Non-Surgical Weight Management Program after years of trying different diets with her best friend. When her friend discovered our program and shared her experience, Lynn felt hopeful in a way she hadn’t before.

She decided to give herself the same encouragement she had always given others and asked herself one simple question:
“What if this time it works?”

With the guidance and support of our providers and dietitian, Lynn began building simple, sustainable habits that helped her move toward lasting change.

Since starting the program, Lynn has lost 15 pounds and gained something even more important—confidence, healthier habits, and a new mindset around food.

One of the biggest things that helped Lynn was learning how to quiet the “food noise.” Instead of labeling foods as good or bad, she began asking herself better questions:
✔️ Do I really want this?
✔️ Will it fuel me?
✔️ Is this a special occasion?
✔️ Can I enjoy a smaller portion?

She’s especially proud that she successfully navigated Christmas, New Year’s, holiday parties, her birthday, the Super Bowl, and Valentine’s Day while continuing to stay committed to her goals.

Lynn also found that food journaling and working closely with our dietitian helped her recognize patterns and make thoughtful changes—something she says no other diet program had ever offered her before.

Today, Lynn feels more confident making choices when eating out, enjoys shopping for smaller clothes, and feels stronger and more motivated to stay active. In fact, she and her husband are planning to train for a bike race this fall! 🚴‍♀️

Last year, Lynn and her best friend deleted photos they took at events because they didn’t feel happy or healthy in them.

But this year will be different.

“This year, we’re taking those pictures. It’s my journey—and I’m enjoying it.”

👏 We are so proud of you, Lynn, and honored to be part of your journey!

If you’re ready to start your own journey, our team—including our dietitian and providers—is here to help every step of the way.

💪 Maintaining Muscle While on Weight Loss Medications

We’ve noticed an increasing number of patients on GLP‑1 medications (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) struggling to maintain muscle strength while losing weight.

While these medications are incredibly effective for fat loss and improving metabolic health, research shows that 15–40% of weight lost can come from lean body mass, including muscle.

Muscle isn’t just about strength — it’s crucial for:
✅ Blood sugar regulation and metabolism
✅ Maintaining energy and function
✅ Supporting long-term weight management

Without regular strength training and adequate protein, patients may notice reduced muscle mass, less energy, and slower progress on their weight loss journey. This is why we emphasize resistance exercise and proper protein intake while on these medications.

🛡️ How to Protect Muscle While Losing Weight
Strength Training: 2–3 sessions/week can preserve and build muscle
Prioritize Protein: 60–75 g per day for surgical patients, 90+ g/day for non-surgical patients
Track Your Progress: Regular body composition through our office.

Reminder from our office: Adherence to diet, exercise, and follow-up visits is essential to continue GLP‑1 medications safely and effectively. Losing weight too quickly without protecting muscle can impact your strength, metabolism, and long-term results.

We’re here to support you with meal plans, strength training guidance, and check-ins to help you lose weight safely and sustainably.

🧘‍♀️ Sunday Self-Care = Setting Up Your Week for Success 🧘‍♂️

Here are a few simple ways to practice Sunday self-care:

✔ Meal prep a few proteins or grab-and-go options
✔ Plan meals for the week ahead so decisions feel easier
✔ Pack your gym bag or lay out workout clothes
✔ Schedule your walks or workouts—treat them like appointments
✔ Plan your week (appointments, work, sports, activities)
✔ Think ahead about snacks—what will you need to stay fueled?

Small steps today = fewer obstacles during the week.

How are you setting yourself up for the week ahead? 💛
