GLP-1 Medications: Mounjaro®, Ozempic®, and Zepbound®

GLP-1 is a natural hormone in your body that helps control blood sugar by boosting insulin, reducing glucagon, and slowing digestion. Medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists (like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Liraglutide) mimic this hormone and are used to manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss.

Most people tolerate these medications well, but common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and reduced appetite. Rarely, there may be risks like pancreatitis, effects on kidney function, or concerns for individuals with a history of thyroid tumors. These medicines usually don’t cause low blood sugar unless combined with other diabetes drugs.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are an important tool for managing blood sugar and weight, but it’s best to use them under guidance. At JosephCareRX, healthcare providers can review your health and help determine if GLP-1 therapy is safe and right for you. Schedule your free consultation today to learn more.

🔥 NEW SERVICE at JosephCareRX: Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing with Breezing®!

If you’ve ever wondered “How many calories does my body actually burn?” — we now have the answer. We’re offering clinical-grade metabolic testing using the Breezing® indirect calorimetry device, a simple and highly accurate way to measure your true RMR.

Why Fad Diets Don’t Work?– Metabolism Matters

Have you tried fad diets like keto or intermittent fasting, only to see the weight come back? You’re not alone!

Most fad diets promise fast results but don’t last because they don’t consider how your body actually works. Genetics, hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle all play a role in weight gain and loss. For example, when you lose weight quickly, your metabolism slows and hunger hormones increase, making it easy to regain pounds. Everyone’s body is different—factors like age, medical conditions, and stress affect how you respond to diet.

The key to lasting weight loss is a personalized, sustainable approach. Focus on whole, nutrient-rich foods and work with an obesity medicine specialist who can assess your metabolism, hormones, and body composition. At JosephCareRX, we create a customized plan and provide ongoing support to help you reach your goals safely. Say goodbye to quick fixes and start a plan that truly works for your body.

Understanding Your Weight: Body Composition vs BMI

Many people use Body Mass Index (BMI) to understand their weight and health, but it doesn’t tell the full story.

BMI only measures weight and height; it doesn’t show how much of your body is fat or muscle. This can make it less accurate for people with different body types. A better way to understand your health is through body composition, which looks at where fat is stored and how much muscle you have. For example, visceral fat (around your organs) is more harmful than subcutaneous fat (under your skin).

Tools like DEXA scans, SECA mBCA (medical Body Composition Analyzer) and InBody tests can measure this more precisely. The Edmonton Obesity Scoring System (EOSS) also helps by including overall health and complications, not just weight.

At JosephCareRX, you can meet with an obesity medicine specialist for a full, personalized health assessment and get a clear plan to reach your wellness goals.

Discover Your Metabolism with Breezing® Resting Metabolic Rate Testing

Did you know your metabolism is as unique as your fingerprint? The Breezing® test measures your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) — the number of calories your body burns at rest — using a quick, 10-minute breath test. Unlike online calculators, Breezing® analyzes your oxygen use and carbon dioxide output to give an accurate, personalized result.

Knowing your RMR helps you create a plan that actually works for you. To lose weight safely, most people need a daily calorie deficit of about 500 calories. With precise RMR data, you and your provider can set the right goals, avoid under-eating, and make every effort count. Discover your true metabolism and unlock smarter, more sustainable weight loss.

Navigating Holiday Eating Without Losing Sight of Your Health Goals

The holidays are a joyful time filled with delicious food and celebration — but they can also challenge your healthy routines. With travel, parties, and tempting desserts everywhere, it’s easy to feel off track. The good news: with a little preparation and awareness, you can enjoy the season and stay true to your goals.

Plan ahead by eating a healthy snack before events so you’re not overly hungry. Bring a nutritious dish, like a veggie platter or colorful salad, to share and ensure healthy options are available. Stick to balanced, protein-packed meals — and don’t skip breakfast! Staying hydrated also helps manage appetite and energy. Finally, reduce temptation by storing high-calorie treats out of sight and setting boundaries around indulgence.

At JosephCareRX, we help you enjoy real life — holidays included — while maintaining a healthy, sustainable approach to weight management.

What is Body Composition Analysis (BCA)?

Body composition analysis (BCA) is a method that dives deeper than just weight on the scale. It measures the various components that make up your body, like fat, muscle, water, and bone mineral content. This detailed breakdown provides valuable insights into your overall health and fitness. Imagine BCA as a blueprint of your body. By understanding the percentages of muscle mass, fat mass, and other components, you can track progress toward fitness goals. It helps differentiate between weight loss from muscle or fat, allowing for more targeted strategies. Additionally, BCA can identify potential health risks associated with high body fat or low muscle mass, prompting further discussion with a healthcare professional.
