Medical Weight Loss & Hair Restoration:
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, when coupled with dietary and lifestyle changes, are effective ways to achieve your desired weight.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medication. It acts by stimulating insulin secretion and slowing down the time in which your stomach empties food which leaves you feeling fuller longer. You can expect to lose around 4-6 pounds per month on this medication.
Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 and a GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide Receptor) medication. It also acts by increasing insulin secretion and slowing down the time in which your stomach empties but it has the added benefit of acting on the central nervous system to lower your food intake. Studies have shown that individuals taking Tirzepatide have fewer reported side effects than Semaglutide. You can expect to lose 6-12 pounds per month.
At Juniper Health & Wellness you can expect one low monthly cost that includes monthly check-ins from the comfort of your own home. You and your provider will work together to establish, and reestablish goals as needed. You will have the ability to contact your provider throughout the course of treatment as well as continued nutrition and exercise coaching.
PRP hair restoration is not only a great way to mitigate hair loss and hair thinning, but it also assists in hair regrowth. Similar to PRP joint injections, PRP hair restoration uses your platelets and growth factors to your benefit. Generally 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are required initially to achieve desired results. Since it is not a permanent solution to hair loss touch-ups are necessary and recommended every 6-12 months depending.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Men & Women:
Studies have shown that women who start bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, before the age of 60, or <10yrs after menopause, have a reduction all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and bone loss/fractures, compared to women who do not. Juniper Health & Wellness offers expansive hormone testing and a variety of BHRT administration modalities to best suit your lifestyle. Some signs and symptoms associated with hormone imbalance are...
Mood swings
Hot flashes
Vaginal dryness
Reduced energy levels
Decreased libido
Difficulty falling asleep or staying sleep
Feeling ‘foggy’
Men also benefit from hormone replacement therapy. It is estimated that in their mid 30’s men lose an average of 2% total testosterone yearly. Testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, is an effective way for men to maintain adequate muscle mass, and improve both libido and sexual performance. Some signs and symptoms associated with low testosterone are...
Reduced muscle mass or difficulty building muscle
Weight gain
Reduced cognitive function
Reduced libido and/or sexual performance
Trigger Point and Joint Injections
Trigger points are painful knots that present in tight muscle bands and can be caused by overuse or a specific isolated injury. They can lead to your muscle being in a chronic contracted state and because of this, trigger points cause both nerve pain and referred pain. Common places are the neck, shoulder and back. Over the counter medications and treatments such as massage, or acupuncture, can be helpful, but at times, it is just not enough. If you find yourself in this position, Juniper Health & Wellness will visit you in your home to perform as many trigger point injections as needed. These injections are a combination of lidocaine and a steroid to relax the muscle, reduce inflammation and pain, and improve blood flow to the area to promote healing.
Joint injections are a great option if medication and physical therapy have not been or, are no longer managing your pain. Juniper Health & Wellness offers a variety of injection solutions- from a steroid to platelet rich plasma (PRP).
PRP has the ability to not only relieve inflammation and lessen pain, but also slow the deterioration of the joint itself. Your platelets and growth factors are able to stimulate a healing response in the joint allowing for an increase in cellular activity and potentially regeneration.
Although not a permanent solution to pain, the injections can provide long-term relief that can last for several months to years. Juniper Health & Wellness is unable to offer injections into the hip joint of facet joints (spine) at this time.
