Medical weight loss has gained popularity as more people seek effective, science-backed solutions for managing their health. However, misinformation can make it challenging to separate fact from fiction. At Wylo Health, we believe in empowering women with knowledge and support to make informed choices. Let’s break down some common myths and facts about medical weight loss.

Myth 1: Medical weight loss is only for extreme cases

Fact:

‍Medical weight loss treatments can be suitable for a wide range of individuals, not just those with severe obesity. GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are often recommended for individuals with a BMI over 30 or a BMI over 27 with weight-related health conditions. Weight loss is a personal journey, and treatments can be tailored to various health needs.

Myth 2: Weight loss medications are a quick fix

Fact:

Medical weight loss is not about overnight results. GLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite and blood sugar, supporting gradual and sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy habits. Consistency and a holistic approach, including lifestyle coaching, are key for long-term success.

Myth 3: These medications are unsafe

Fact:

Medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are Health Canada-approved and have undergone rigorous clinical trials to ensure safety and effectiveness. While side effects like nausea or digestive discomfort can occur, they are typically manageable and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Myth 4: You don't need to make lifestyle changes

Fact:

While medications can aid in weight loss, they work best when combined with positive lifestyle changes. Nutrition, physical activity, and emotional well-being all play a role in achieving lasting results. Wylo offers ongoing support to help you make sustainable changes.

Myth 5: If you stop taking the medication, you'll gain the weight back

Fact:

Like any health intervention, maintaining results requires continued effort. Some people may need long-term support, while others can transition to maintaining their results through lifestyle adjustments alone. Personalized care can help you create a lasting health plan.
