Medical Weight Loss Program at Thrive Medspa and Wellness in Downtown Honolulu

Welcome to Thrive Medspa and Wellness in Downtown Honolulu, where we are committed to helping you achieve your weight loss goals through our comprehensive Medical Weight Loss Program. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Scott Sanderson, a board-certified specialist in Obesity Medicine since 2014, and his experienced Physician Assistant Nicole Chrysler, who has 20 years of experience in medical weight loss, we utilize advanced medical treatments and personalized care to support your journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Treatment

Our Medical Weight Loss Program begins with an initial evaluation and assessment to understand your unique health needs and weight loss goals. This initial step allows us to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your individual requirements. Dr. Sanderson, Nicole, and our team will conduct a medical evaluation, including a review of your medical history, lifestyle, and any underlying health conditions that may affect your weight loss journey.

Monthly Check-Ins and Ongoing Support

Consistency and support are key to successful weight loss. Our program includes monthly check-ins to monitor your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and provide ongoing motivation and support. These regular appointments help ensure that you stay on track and achieve your desired outcomes.

Advanced Medications for Effective Weight Loss

At Thrive Medspa and Wellness, we utilize cutting-edge medications to enhance your weight loss efforts. Our program includes the use of semaglutide and tirzepatide, which have been proven to be very effective in promoting weight loss.

**Semaglutide:** Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and food intake. It works by mimicking the effects of the GLP-1 hormone, which increases insulin secretion, decreases glucagon levels, and slows gastric emptying. Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss in individuals with obesity when combined with lifestyle changes.

**Tirzepatide:** Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that offers a unique approach to weight loss by targeting two key hormones involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. Studies have demonstrated that tirzepatide can result in substantial weight reduction and improvements in metabolic health.

The Importance of Diet in Weight Loss

While exercise is beneficial for overall health, numerous studies have shown that diet plays a more critical role in weight loss. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that dietary changes were more effective than physical activity in achieving significant weight loss. By focusing on reducing calorie intake and making healthier food choices, individuals can achieve more sustainable weight loss results.

BodySite App for Lifestyle Transformation

To support your long-term success, we provide access to the BodySite app, which offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to teach you how to make permanent lifestyle changes. The app includes educational materials on the paleo diet, intermittent fasting, and mindfulness skills.

**Paleo Diet:** The paleo diet emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods similar to what our ancestors ate. It promotes the consumption of lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds while avoiding processed foods, grains, and sugars. This diet can help reduce inflammation, improve metabolic health, and support weight loss.

**Intermittent Fasting:** Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. It helps regulate insulin levels, increase fat burning, and reduce overall calorie intake. Research has shown that intermittent fasting can be an effective strategy for weight loss and improving metabolic health.

**Mindfulness Skills:** Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and mindful eating, can help you develop a healthier relationship with food and reduce emotional eating. By being more aware of your eating habits and making conscious food choices, you can better manage your weight and overall health.
