The full scope at Ascend includes: Obesity and overweight with comorbidities - full workup, GLP-1 candidacy assessment, lifestyle integration Type 2 diabetes with weight management goals - GLP-1 medications often address both indications simultaneously Hypertension tied to weight - coordinated medication review and lifestyle work Dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome - lipids often improve markedly with weight loss Prediabetes - HbA1c 5.7-6.4% range, where intervention can prevent progression Fatty liver disease (MASLD) - weight loss is the primary intervention
Body mass composition (amount of lean and fat mass) was assessed using an Echo Medical Systems EchoMRI 100 (EchoMRI, Houston, TX, USA) at week 16
Further research is needed to clarify whether GLP-1R agonism impacts brain health directly or through improved metabolic function
Prioritizing lean protein and key nutrients including iron, zinc, vitamin D, and essential fatty acids keeps hair growth strong
One weekly injection may be all you need, but when it comes to optimizing the value of GLP-1s, thats not all there is to it
