Weight Loss Treatments | TribElle Women's Health

Healthy weight ranges can differ based on gender, height and build of a person. There are two usual ways people can find out if they are overweight. BMI or BRI.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a widely used method to estimate body fat based on height and weight. It provides a general categorisation of underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obesity.

Pros: Simple to calculate, widely accepted, and useful for population health studies.
Cons: Doesn't consider muscle mass, fat distribution, or body shape, making it less accurate for athletes or those with higher muscle mass.

BRI (Body Roundness Index) is a newer measurement that considers height and waist circumference to estimate body fat and health risks more accurately.

Pros: Provides a better assessment of fat distribution, particularly around the abdomen, which is linked to higher health risks.
Cons: Less commonly used, requires additional measurements beyond height and weight, and may not be as easily interpreted as BMI.

Overall, BMI is a quick screening tool, while BRI provides a more detailed look at body fat distribution and associated health risks.

Your body is a story—complex, resilient, and uniquely yours. Weight isn't just about food or exercise; it's shaped by your hormones, stress levels, sleep quality, genetics, and more.
But here's the truth: your weight does not define your worth. Instead of blaming yourself, let's focus on what your body needs to thrive. You are not alone on this journey. Together, we'll uncover the root causes, tackle them with science-backed solutions, and celebrate every step forward.
Remember, this isn't just about losing weight; it's about gaining energy, confidence, and control over your health. Your tribe is here to guide and empower you. Let's get started.

Losing weight is a personal journey, and the right approach depends on your unique body and lifestyle. Here are some key ways to take charge of your health:

Lifestyle Changes: Start with small, sustainable habits: eat nourishing foods, move your body regularly, prioritize sleep, and manage stress. These steps lay a strong foundation for long-term health.
Medications: Modern medicine offers options like GLP-1 injectables or oral medications that can help regulate appetite and metabolism. These are tools, not shortcuts, to support your efforts.
Surgical Options: For some women, bariatric surgery may be a life-changing step, especially when other methods haven't worked.
Behavioral Support:Emotional eating or lifestyle challenges? Therapy, coaching, or group support can make all the difference in building healthy habits.
Medical Devices & Alternatives:From temporary intragastric balloons to mind-body practices like yoga, there are additional tools that may fit your needs.
The Bottom Line:Your journey is about more than weight—it's about feeling strong, confident, and in control of your health. Whether you take small lifestyle steps or explore medical options, remember: you're not alone. With the right support and a tribe cheering you on, transformation is possible.

GLP-1s (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonists) are a type of medication originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes. Recently, they've gained attention for their ability to help with weight loss.
These medications mimic a natural hormone in your body that:

Regulates Appetite :They signal your brain to feel full, reducing hunger and cravings.
Slows Digestion :This helps you feel satisfied for longer after eating.
Supports Blood Sugar Control : By stabilizing blood sugar levels, they can reduce fat storage and energy dips.

Semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy, Ozempic): Approved for weight loss in some individuals.
Liraglutide (e.g., Saxenda): Another GLP-1 used for managing obesity.
Trizepatide (e.g. Mounjaro): Targets GLP-1 and GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)

These medications are typically delivered through subcutaneous injections, which means they're injected under the skin. But don't worry—it's simpler than it sounds!

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes and increasingly used for weight management. These drugs mimic the action of the natural GLP-1 hormone, which is released in the gut and plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. GLP-1s impact women's bodies by:

Regulating blood sugar leads to better glycemic control and promotes weight loss
Acting on the brain's appetite centres to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness
Improving insulin sensitivity, helping to manage PCOD symptoms such as irregular periods, weight gain, and metabolic dysfunction
Slowing gastric emptying leads to prolonged digestion which can reduce post-meal spikes

Better regulation of blood sugar levels
Significant weight loss
Cardiovascular benefits
Improved Insulin Sensitivity
Appetite Regulation
Potential benefits for Polycystic Ovary Disease

The consultation will ask a number of questions about your medical history, current health, symptoms and medication. The information provided will be reviewed by one of our clinical team who may contact you for a further discussion on possible options.

This varies for each individual, you should use GLP-1 RAs as long as they are well-tolerated, align with your overall treatment plan, and help you achieve your health goals. GLP-1s are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

GLP1s are to be injected subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
The dose can be administered at any time of day, with or without meals.

Ongoing use may be necessary to maintain the weight loss. Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise should form part of your ongoing health plan.
