Why is weight loss important?

Being overweight or obese increases your risk for a range of chronic health conditions that reduce your quality of life and negatively impact your longevity.

Carrying around excess body weight puts extra pressure on your joints, which can lead to the onset of osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain.

Your weight can also play a role in the development of physical health conditions like:

Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
High cholesterol
Coronary artery disease
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Sleep apnea

Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression may also occur because of obesity, poor diet, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

When should I consider weight loss?

You should consider the weight-loss services available at The DNA Diet Club if you’re unable to lose weight on your own through diet and exercise. You can also benefit from the personalized strategies if you hit a plateau in your weight-loss journey and can’t reach an ideal body weight.

The practice takes an innovative approach to weight loss using futuristic medicine. The providers offer a medically supervised program that supports successful weight loss based on your DNA and gut biome.

How does my DNA and gut biome support weight loss?

Your gut biome consists of trillions of microorganisms (microbes) in different species, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. When you’re healthy, all microbe species live in harmony – mostly in your small and large intestine. The gut biome is responsible for promoting the function of your organs and the other parts of your body.

Your DNA determines what microbes your body has at birth. You get an introduction to microbes when you leave your mother’s birth canal and when being breastfed. Later in life, your environment influences your gut biome and can ultimately cause an imbalance in the microorganisms. The DNA Diet Club offers weight loss packages that contain:

1 DNA testing kit
1 gut biome test kit
Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated health report
Personalized grocery list
Specific recipes through a smartphone app
Four YouTube videos
One month supply of vitamin supplements

You also get a free 45-minute personal medical consultation and a personal health coach session. The providers use the results of your DNA and gut biome tests to identify what your body needs to lose weight in a safe, effective way.

Semaglutide:

Starting Price: $266.66 per month
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has shown significant effectiveness in managing weight and controlling blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. By mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, it helps to increase insulin release, decrease glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite. Our compounded semaglutide offers a tailored solution for those seeking weight loss and improved metabolic health. It's particularly beneficial for individuals who require personalized doses or have specific needs not met by commercially available medications.

Tirzepatide:

Starting Price: $399 per month
Tirzepatide is a dual agonist for both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offering a unique approach to weight management and diabetes control. By targeting these two pathways, tirzepatide not only helps in lowering blood sugar but also enhances satiety and reduces food intake more effectively than single-pathway drugs like semaglutide. Our compounded tirzepatide is designed for those looking for an advanced option in their wellness journey, providing a potential for greater weight loss and glycemic control when compared to GLP-1 agonists alone. It's an excellent choice for those who might benefit from the dual action.
