But it’s not just about the number in the scale!

Obesity causes many health issues-high blood pressure being one of them. High blood pressure increases your risk for stroke, heart disease and death.

Did you know that losing just 5 lbs can lower your blood pressure?

In just 10 short months lifespan medical patients have collectively shed over 650 lbs and 3 patients have been successfully taken OFF of blood pressure medicine.

Come visit Ben to learn more about how medically supported weight loss can improve your health and well-being!

Now offering compounded Semaglutide!

The national shortage of Wegovy has been ongoing for the past several months, and, according to drug reps, probably will not be improving until well into next year. This has left many of those who suffer from obesity without the option of using this very effective medication.

There are 5 dose steps when starting Wegovy, throughout this shortage, higher doses have been available, allowing those who were already on the medication to continue using the medication. The struggle has been for those who want to start the Wegovy because the lower doses are nearly impossible to find.

This brings compounded medications to the forefront. Compounded medications are a copy of brand name medications, these can be legally produced when there are national shortages. Compounded medications are just as safe and effective as their name brand counterpart as long as they come front a reputable pharmacy.

LifeSpan medical is now offering compounded Semaglutide. This has been a very effective tool to get patients started on the medication, often switching to the name brand once at the highest dose. No need to wait till next year for the shortage to end!

I offer free consults, always happy to sit down and answer questions. Obesity doesn't have to rule your life!
