Our focus here at The Edge at Pinnacle Point has always centered on helping patients with their overall well-being. Though we specialize in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), we aren’t here to just stick a needle in your arm and call it treatment. We want each guy working with us to feel holistically better than they have in years.
That’s why today we’ll be talking about how patients at our clinic in Rogers can supplement their TRT treatments. Specifically, we want to focus on health management initiatives to help guys reach their energy and weight loss goals by working with The Edge.
Make no mistake, TRT is a great tool that’s going to help you overcome some of those physical hurdles. However, the reason more and more guys are turning to us for their treatment is because of the additional benefits. Our professional staff has helped men all around the area look better, feel better, and perform better with our focus on comprehensive health.
Lifestyle Changes
First and foremost, it’s important that each person working with our team understands our treatments aren’t magic. No injection we make or supplement we sell instantly helps you reach all of your goals. If you want to feel better and lose weight, you will need to make some adjustments to your daily life.
One of the best things people can do to help themselves is to focus on their diet and exercise habits. Getting more or better sleep, if possible, is also highly effective for improving your overall health. With that being said, you don’t need to make drastic, wholesale changes to your life.
Instead, taking baby steps and steadily improving in these areas will do wonders as a complement to your treatment. Setting the bar too high and expecting to look like a bodybuilder or an athlete within a few weeks is setting yourself up for failure.
Make sure to set somewhat difficult, yet attainable goals and milestones that are in your reach. This way, you’ll gain a sense of confidence and pride in yourself that sets you up for continued improvement.
Intermittent Fasting
In terms of diet, one method that our team is big fans of is intermittent fasting. There are a couple of different ways to do intermittent fasting, but the most common one is a 16/8 method. This is where you eat for an 8-hour window each day, and then fast for 16 hours.
The benefits of this method are plentiful, with studies linking intermittent fasting to:
- Improved memory
- Better fat-burning capabilities
- Protection against chronic diseases
- Better physical performance
- Improved tissue health
- And more
Additionally, many people enjoy intermittent fasting because of its focus on eating foods you actually enjoy. A meal while doing intermittent fasting isn’t a license to go crazy, but this method usually allows for less restrictive eating, which is why many diets and trends fail.
For your eight-hour eating window, it doesn’t really matter which timeframe you pick as long as it works for you. Some like to do noon to 8 pm. Others like to sync their eating window to their 9-5 workday.
You be might wondering, “don’t you get hungry not eating for 16 hours? How do you go without eating for that long?”
While you may experience some difficulties right away, realize that our bodies are extremely adaptive. Humans have fasted throughout our entire existence, and our bodies are built to withstand long periods without food.
When you first start, your body will send hunger signals during your normal eating times. This is because it’s been conditioned to eat during those specific times. After a few weeks, your body will adapt and you’ll no longer experience those signals and pains.
As you can see, we’re pretty big fans of intermittent fasting and the numerous benefits it can bring. However, we realize that it may not be for everybody. Ultimately, the best diet, exercise, and sleep plans are the ones that you stick to. If there are different plans that work for you and improve your overall health, that’s great!
Taking a one-step-at-a-time approach to your diet and exercise will help you achieve results more consistently. Your body and lifestyle won’t change overnight, but that’s okay. Ideally, these are methods you can continue to use to improve your overall health long-term.
B-12 & Lipo-B Injections
It’s true that your lifestyle choices will play the biggest role in living better. However, getting additional treatments at The Edge is a great way to supplement those lifestyle choices. Basically, we’re here to help you reach even higher and get better results than diet and exercise alone.
TRT is the primary way we do this, but B-12 and Lipo-B injections are also great tools we have at our disposal. B-12 and Lipo-B injections can help patients with benefits such as:
- Increased energy levels
- Improved sleeping patterns
- Boosted metabolism
- Improved weight loss
- And more
Essentially, most patients we see aren’t getting the vitamins they need in their daily lives. This is particularly true of the B-12 vitamin, which is crucial for nerve and blood cell health. With all the stress that comes with daily life, many people find it difficult to focus on their health.
As a result, it becomes more difficult for people to get the nutrition they need. This causes diet, exercise, sleep, and other aspects of a healthy lifestyle to fall by the wayside. As much as diet, stress is a primary reason that people feel unwell and suffer from health problems. And it can turn into a vicious cycle quickly. You’re unhealthy because you’re stressed, and you’re stressed because you’re unhealthy.
It may not cure every worry, but good nutrition is a great way to help counter that stress and live healthier. If you can’t get your nutrition naturally B-12 and LipoB injections at The Edge are a great, once-weekly alternative for replenishing vitamin levels. This leads to an increase in energy while promoting weight loss with a boost to your metabolism.
Where Lipo-B factors in is with fat loss, as it’s a catalytic compound that helps remove fat deposits. These compounds include Methionine, Choline, and Inositol. We can actually combine the Lipo-B and B-12 vitamins in the same shot, which in conjunction with a healthier lifestyle can lead to improved results.
Supplements
Another way patients can get the vitamins and nutrients they need is through supplements. Like injections, these supplements alone won’t help you achieve results. However, they can produce great results when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Each product we offer is carefully evaluated and researched to ensure quality and lasting benefits. While each supplement has unique benefits, we have supplements that are capable of improving all of the following:
- Sleep and relaxation
- Joint and musculoskeletal support
- Blood pressure
- Cardiovascular Health
- Mood and energy levels
- Hair growth
- Gastrointestinal and prostate health
- And more!
For the best outcomes, we highly recommend working closely with our team of health experts. Each person will have different wants and needs based on their overall health, wellness, and goals for treatment. With our expertise, we’ll be able to recommend the proper supplements that will produce the most ideal outcomes based on your individual needs and goals.
Body Composition Analysis
After some time has passed, we’ll be able to show you just how effective our treatments and supplements really are. Our InBody 270 machine performs a comprehensive analysis of your body and tracks your improvements, helping you reach your weight goals.
The machine itself measures several different compositions in your body, including your body fat percentage, the amount of water weight you hold, your muscle distribution, and more. Once you give your age, height, weight, and gender information, we’ll be able to show you where you’re starting from and make further recommendations based on your ideal body composition.
The InBody 270 also can track your history, so you can see the progress you’ve made over weeks, months, and years. With this advanced technology, we’ll be able to take a smarter approach to your treatments and better help you reach your lifestyle goals.
This machine is a favorite of ours in the office, and our patients have experienced its value first-hand. In fact, even patients doing TRT by itself will notice the improvements to lean muscle mass and fat loss. For those who subscribe to our hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or medical weight loss programs, you’ll get three free analyses each year!
