SEMAGLUTIDE (OZEMPIC) & TIRZEPATIDE (MOUNJARO)

Are you considering using either of these injections to assist with normalising your weight and offsetting the negative metabolic effects of being overweight?

Overweight leads to changes in overall metabolism which affect your wellbeing and mortality risk.

In many people, diet and exercise alone have too little effect and some might not be sustainable in the long term: often these people have a hormone problem that can be helped with either of these injections. This may particularly affect mature women as they approach menopause. The injections are costly and will still require some dietary and exercise input, but often adding these injections will give good results when previous diet and exercise alone failed.

If you are battling with weight issues and need more information, please consult your doctor.

SPRINGTIME, SKIN AND WEIGHT

Winter is on the way out, and as the weather warms up, our thoughts turn more to outdoor activities to enjoy the lovely sunshine.

Remember to use your sunblock daily, and re-apply regularly once outdoors, especially if swimming or sweating. SPF 50 is advisable, but there is also SPF 100 available for more sensitive skins or those with a history of sun-damaged skin problems.

The other thing that many will be contemplating is how to shed the extra kilos gained during the winter months of “comfort eating”. Getting back to a normal weight has huge health benefits beyond just making us look and feel better. As we get older – especially for women around menopause - it becomes more difficult to lose weight in a healthy way, so if you are considering this, consult your doctor for information on how you may be helped on a safe weight-loss journey.
