Education Matters. 📚💪

Did you know that without proper education on nutrition and exercise, GLP-1 medications can cause you to lose critical muscle mass—not just fat?

🚨 Losing muscle mass can impact:
• Strength and mobility
• Long-term function and independence
• Metabolic health
• Future healthcare costs

Here’s the real risk 👉
If muscle is lost during GLP-1 treatment and weight is regained after stopping the medication, the weight that returns is fat—not muscle. That can leave you less healthy than when you started.

That’s why how you lose weight matters just as much as how much you lose.

Working with a team like Team Cheregi ensures GLP-1 medications are used safely, strategically, and effectively—so you lose fat, protect muscle, and build results that last.

📩 DM us to learn how education + support = long-term success.

Up to 39% of lean muscle mass can be lost during GLP-1 treatment. Learn why structured movement is critical to protecting long-term health.

“How much weight can I lose with weight-loss medications?” 🤔

It’s one of the most important questions you can ask — because making an informed decision starts with understanding your options.

Weight-loss medications are not one-size-fits-all.
Each patient is different, and your health history, goals, and needs matter.

It’s also essential to understand the cost considerations, especially if insurance doesn’t cover GLP-1 medications, so you can plan realistically and confidently.

✨ Whether you qualify for medical weight loss or bariatric surgery, education and the right tools are what drive long-term success.

At Team Cheregi, we believe informed patients make empowered decisions — and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Did you know? 👀
Although many patients medically qualify for bariatric surgery, only a small percentage ever move forward.

Even among those who attend a consultation, most never take the next step.
Why?

Fear. Uncertainty. Lack of education. Limited support. Financial concerns.

✨ It doesn’t have to be that way.
At Team Cheregi, the experience is different.
Over 80% of patients who come in for a consultation move forward with surgery.

So what makes the difference?
✔️ Education — understanding your options and the process
