Weight Loss in Fleming Island, FL

At Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa, we pride ourselves on offering the latest weight loss techniques and programs to our patients near Jacksonville, FL. In order to determine which of our weight loss programs is best for you, let's start by determining your body-mass index or BMI. Your BMI is a calculation of your body fat based on your weight and height. It serves as a guide to help determine whether you are at risk of weight-related health conditions and helps determine how much weight should be shed to achieve a healthy range.

Pura Vida is thrilled to offer the Rocking Bod 2.0 medical weight loss program featuring semaglutide injections. Semaglutide is the first new FDA-approved weight loss medication since 2014 and has taken Hollywood and most of America by storm. When added to a nutritious diet and exercise regimen, semaglutide injections can help men and women curb hunger, reduce cravings, reduce blood sugar levels, and decrease overall caloric intake to lose excess pounds and achieve a healthier weight. On average, patients lose between 15 percent of their starting body weight and maintain their results after the program is finished. That means, for a someone weighing 170 lbs, the expected weight loss would be 25-30 lbs. Although originally formulated as an insulin resistance prescription for diabetics, semaglutide, a GLP-1 medication, also mimics the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1, which regulates appetite and the feeling of being full. Many treatment providers compare this to how one would feel after having gastric bypass surgery.

During the initial consultation, we determine whether you are a good candidate for weight loss with Semaglutide injections, by assessing your body composition using our advanced device called Styku. Adults with a BMI over 30 or more are appropriate candidates for Rocking Bod 2.0. However, you may also be a candidate for Semaglutide weight loss with a lower BMI if you have at least one of the following weight-related conditions:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Type 2 diabetes

Our team at Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa will consult with you before you begin the Rocking Bod 2.0 semaglutide weight loss injection program. We will evaluate your medical history and weight loss goals to determine your best course of treatment. In some cases, you may be able to administer the injections yourself subcutaneously in the abdomen, thighs, or upper arm. Many patients will require weekly injections for a minimum of six months in order to see the best possible results.
