You carried the team for the past nine months. Sit back and relax while we take care of your weight loss journey.

Shedding postpartum weight can be an overwhelming task for new mothers — you have enough on your plate as it is. We doubt you need any convincing on how important it is to get back to feeling like yourself again. But, just in case, we’re here to let you know you’re not alone.

The Facts

  • Approximately 75% of women are heavier 1 year postpartum than they were pre-pregnancy.
  • 20% of these women then hold on to 20 pounds or more of stubborn body fat. 
  • Half of all women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy get type 2 diabetes. That's as much as 5% of pregnancies annually, or almost 200,000 American women. Although way too common, type 2 diabetes is nothing to play with. It jeopardizes mothers around the world's ability to be there for their babies as they grow up.

Sticking to a diet seems impossible when it’s been months since you've had a good night's sleep. Luckily, with the help of medication and a diet guided by our doctors, our program can help you get back to your body before pregnancy.

The Science

Semaglutide, brand name Ozempic or Wegovy, is the best new way to fight stubborn postpartum fat. It works by engaging the GLP-1 receptors in your brain, which helps control your appetite and increase feelings of fullness. This means you'll find it easier to stick to a diet without feeling deprived or constantly craving unhealthy snacks. Beyond just curbing your hunger, Ozempic also enhances insulin sensitivity and encourages the breakdown of stored fat, making it a double-edged sword against postpartum weight struggles.

For new moms, Ozempic offers the promise of a smoother, more successful weight loss journey. It sets the stage for sustainable weight management, providing mothers with a newfound sense of empowerment. Our doctors are here to help you get back your body before pregnancy safely and effectively with science backed diet plans and medications.
