Medical Weight Loss

Bluegrass Preventive Medicine is dedicated to assisting our patients in achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. We recognize that achieving that goal is a process that involves commitment, discipline, and patience. To be effective, a true lifestyle shift must first take place. This entails altering the way you eat, exercise, and live. Consistency is the key to losing weight and maintaining a healthy body. This may appear to be a more challenging path, but it will yield long-term results.

Our program emphasizes long-term healthy diets that are low in calories, low in carbohydrates, and high in protein. This nutritional mix ensures that your body can fully utilize the nutrients, giving you the most energy per calorie you ingest. Our team has years of experience working with individuals and groups to improve their physical and mental health. Rather than focusing on short-term results, Bluegrass Preventive Medicine is dedicated to assisting our patients in making long-term lifestyle changes that will ensure their health for years to come.

Semaglutide: The game changer in sustained weight loss

Have you been struggling with weight loss? Afraid of taking stimulant drugs for weight loss that can only be taken short-term? Are other typical weight loss drugs contraindicated for you? Do you have prediabetes? Have you been considering bariatric surgery? Well, it’s time you checked out a new, FDA-approved medication for weight loss – Semaglutide.

Semaglutide is a member of a class of drugs that have been used for diabetes management for over a decade – GLP1-RAs (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists). The weight loss effects of these agents have been known for some time, however, Semaglutide appears to be the “best-in-class” GLP-1 RA for weight loss and was recently approved for weight loss by the FDA.
