Support for a Successful Weight Loss Transformation
Taking the next step toward a healthier lifestyle can be the most difficult part of your weight loss transformation. What’s the best way to work out? Which diet is best? How does fasting work? Are carbs bad? What workout equipment is the most effective? Navigating through a sea of questions and conflicting opinions, it can sometimes feel too intimidating to even start. And if you don’t have a support system, staying motivated to continue can feel impossible. That’s where Ivím steps in. We’re here to revolutionize weight loss and transform the way we all approach wellness and lifelong habits.
Mobile App
Rather than counting points or searching for lifestyle resources on your own, Ivím provides members with an exclusive mobile app featuring provider-approved tools and materials essential for enhancing their weight loss transformation. While GLP-1 medications offer a great start, our focus is on fostering healthy, long-term habits for sustainable success and future positive life changes. Within the app, you can document your goals, improvements, and transformations along the way.
Nutrition Resources
We promise nutritious food can taste amazing. Under the guidance of our Functional Nutrition Specialist, Jennah, you’ll gain access to recipes, helpful guidelines, and comprehensive shopping lists, simplifying everything from grocery runs to meal preparation. Beyond aiding weight loss, these healthy eating choices will enhance your overall well-being.
Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and lettuce are nutrient powerhouses, loaded with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Incorporating them into fruit smoothies can effortlessly boost your health intake.
Fruits are not only delightful snacks or meal complements; they also play a significant role in weight management. Regular fruit consumption is encouraged, particularly fruits that are known for aiding weight loss. For example, apples, with their low-calorie yet high-fiber content, promote satiety. Berries, rich in vitamins, help in lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation, and their sweetness is a bonus. Stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, cherries, and apricots, are low in calories but rich in vitamins C and A. All of these fruits offer a healthier snacking option compared to processed snacks like chips and cookies.
Incorporating high-protein foods into your diet can also help you stay satiated without overeating. Sources of protein include lean meats, dairy products, nuts, and eggs. To aid in balancing your plate with nutritious options that support your weight loss goals, check out the meal plans and suggestions available in the Ivím app.
Exercise Planning
Increasing physical activity doesn’t require long hours at the gym. Creating sustainable habits is key for lasting results. Our movement guidance helps you customize routines to suit your lifestyle and support your weight loss efforts. Regular exercise not only reduces the risk of heart disease, strengthens bones, and enhances brain health but also improves your mood!
Begin with boosting your step count. Integrate brisk walks into your day, even if it’s just a quick five-minute circuit around the block. This simple activity increases your steps, provides quality time with friends or pets, and allows for personal reflection. Starting with manageable increments is crucial; from there, gradually escalate to more intense, longer workouts.
Educational Materials
Knowledge is power, so we’ll equip you with fresh resources weekly in our mobile app to deepen your understanding of all facets of your weight loss transformation, including insights from our care team. Engage in our weekly Live Q&A sessions! Whether it’s delving into the science of weight loss medications or exploring ways to reduce health risks, our providers are prepared to cover it all.
Community Support
The standout feature of Ivím is our community. We’ve established a virtual environment dedicated to encouragement, support, and positive exchanges, free from negativity. We honor the unique nature of each individual’s weight loss transformation, celebrating diverse experiences daily.
When you become a member, be sure to immerse yourself in this vibrant, exclusive community, introduce yourself, and engage with others who share your journey.
Medication
GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound™ are transforming the modern approach to weight loss. These medications mimic hormones found in the body that suppress appetite, curb cravings, lower A1C, and boost energy levels. This combination of lessened food intake and heightened energy, facilitating more physical activity, has enabled millions of Americans to reach their weight loss and wellness goals.
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®, when combined with intensive behavioral therapy (and a low-calorie diet for the initial 8 weeks), has shown impressive results for overweight or obese adults with users losing an average of 15% of their body weight. Similarly, tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound™ offers even more substantial results for overweight or obese adults (without diabetes), with users experiencing a 20% reduction in body weight when taking the maximum tolerated dose of tirzepatide (10 or 15 mg).
The Future of Weight Loss Transformation
Following Mounjaro®’s success, Eli Lilly introduced Zepbound™, which, since its December 2023 approval for weight loss, has broadened treatment accessibility for Americans seeking medical solutions to obesity. Ivím’s providers are equipped to prescribe Zepbound™, Mounjaro®, or compounded tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound™and Mounjaro®).
Currently, 34.1% of men and 27.5% of women are overweight, while 42.2% of adults are obese. Beyond affecting confidence, obesity is linked to serious long-term health issues like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease. GLP-1 medications are helping millions manage their weight more effectively, safeguarding their health for the future.
