Deanne has dealt with obesity her entire life, but did, at one point, lose 120 pounds. However, life, old habits, and especially “food noise” got in the way and 100 pounds found its way back. After learning that a GLP-1 medication can help with managing food noise, Deanne sought help from her primary care doctor who agreed to let her try a GLP-1. It helped immediately. Deanne was off to a good start but wanted more.

She wanted personalized care from trained obesity specialists who understand obesity and are well-informed about weight loss medication. She wanted to have someone oversee her journey and assure her that what she was doing was safe and improving her health. She wanted her lab results monitored to track health improvement. She wanted assurance that she was on the right dose of ZEPBOUND® and would be told when and if the dosage would change. She wanted access to a dietitian, someone to be accountable to, and wanted support from specialists who understand this disease... specialists who really "get it." Deanne is an example of a person who sought out CONCI specifically for the reasons just mentioned. CONCI provided what she was looking for. With 38 years of experience, the CONCI staff provides individualized comprehensive weight management in a very kind, caring manner.

Deanne has lost 60 pounds so far. She still has weight to lose but has already seen improvement in her health, energy, and confidence. She has returned to exercise, and is enjoying a healthier diet and lifestyle. She finally feels like food no longer controls her. Deanne says that “taking a GLP-1 has changed her life. “ Her plan is to continue to take ZEPBOUND® indefinitely to control food noise while suppressing her appetite. She will continue to take advantage of resources available to her at CONCI. “I want to stay off the emotional rollercoaster I have ridden my entire life.”

𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟! 🧐🥣

Having trouble getting enough protein? Adequate protein intake is important for everyone but especially important for those taking a GLP-1 medication. Not getting enough protein, especially when losing weight quickly, leads to a higher risk of losing muscle. Maintaining or increasing muscle is important because it supports metabolism, blood sugar regulation, and healthy aging. Getting enough protein can be tricky if you are short on time, aren't too fond of cooking, or just don't have too much of an appetite. Becoming familiar with convenient, ready-to-eat high protein products such as Greek yogurt can help you get the protein you need.

But keep in mind that 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟! Greek yogurts are typically high in protein. There are now yogurts even higher in protein than Greek yogurt because additional protein is added to the product. These high protein yogurts are clearly labeled as such and will be slightly higher in calories because of the added protein. They tend to be thicker than regular yogurt and are very filling. The graphic above lists specific recommended brands of good high-protein yogurts that can be found in most stores. NOTE: Chobani yogurts labeled as "Blended" and "Fruit on the Bottom" aren't recommended because of too much added sugar.

Micah had been overweight his entire adult life due to unhealthy eating habits and was starting to notice some red flags regarding his health. This along with with his upcoming class reunion motivated him to get serious about losing weight in order to feel better and improve his health. Because his father had once been a patient at Central Ohio Nutrition Center, he decided to go that route as well.

Wanting to lose 40 pounds, Micah began a full meal-replacement program using NUMETRA® products in May 2026. To be more in line with his lifestyle, Micah soon switched to a hybrid program consisting of a combination of meal replacements and one high protein meal. He paired this hybrid plan with the GLP-1 medication WEGOVY which helped tremendously with cutting down on "food noise."

He ended up losing 50 pounds in 4 months! When asked about how he felt physically after his weight loss, Micah answered, "𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗜'𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀.

In terms of Micah's maintenance plan, he continues to come to the clinic weekly to weigh-in and talk to a registered dietitian. He is mindful of what he is putting into his body, the quantity, and also about how often he exercises.

Why do some people in their 80's look so much younger than others their same age? It's not just genetics. It's about investing in your future self. What you do now in terms of lifestyle will determine how independent you are or how much care you will need in your 80's. Muscle mass begins declining in your 30's and accelerates with each decade. Without the hormonal protection provided by estrogen, muscle loss can continue to worsen. A decline in bone density follows the same pattern.

If you decrease your calories without paying attention to getting enough protein, you will lose additional lean mass. The results of a body composition analysis done after taking a GLP-1 medication for a few months can be startling when the results indicate additional muscle loss. This can happen if diligence consuming adequate protein has not been taken seriously. Ideally, try to aim for at least 25 to 30 grams of protein per meal. Starting each meal with your protein source—before adding vegetables and carbohydrates— can help you get the most important nutrient in before you feel full. Focus on quality protein sources such as lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, Greek yogurt, beans/legumes, and nuts. Eating protein at each meal encourages the body to retain your muscle mass as does consistent resistance training.

Another reason to love summer is because of all the wonderful produce available in local markets and produce stands. Have you enjoyed the tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and fruit that have been available locally? So fresh, so good, so nutritious! Produce is REAL food! It's full of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber but low in calories. Your body will thank you for it! Not crazy about vegetables? A CONCI dietitian can give you simple, low-calorie ways to prepare what you might think is a boring vegetable! Get away from the processed, high-calorie frozen vegetable products and get back to REAL food!

Many area farm markets continue to run into the fall season too!

Three GLP-1 medications are now available specifically for weight loss and weight management to Medicare patients at a $50 copay. When prescribed specifically for weight loss and weight management, the qualifying medications include WEGOVY®, ZEPBOUND® (Kwikpen only), and FOUNDAYO®. It is important to know that if one of these medications is prescribed for anything other than weight loss/weight management, then it will continue to be covered through the patient's Medicare Part D coverage. In other words, this new program will not apply if the medication is prescribed for diabetes or obstructive sleep apnea. The GLP-1 Bridge Program applies across all Medicare plans with prescription drug coverage (Part D and Medicare Advantage). The GLP-1 Bridge program began July 1, 2026 and will run through December 31, 2027. Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for Type 2 diabetes rather than weight loss and therefore do not qualify for coverage under the Bridge Program. The Bridge exists for patients who would otherwise have no Medicare coverage for weight loss.

NUMETRA® shakes are a great meal replacement when you are in a rush, have no time to cook, or want something cold because it's just too hot outside! NUMETRA® shakes are an excellent source of protein (20g), provide 160 calories, offer portion and calorie control, and are considered a complete meal replacement due to their nutritional content. Because of the balance of high-quality protein and dietary fiber, these products help with staying fuller longer while also promoting fat loss and muscle retention. NUMETRA™ is produced in the United States by the Robard Corporation, a trusted leader in medical weight management since 1976. Their high-quality products are developed based on nutritional research specific to weight management.

The shakes are available in several flavors. They taste great, are very satisfying, provide the protein we need, and are convenient. Whether you are in the process of losing weight, maintaining your weight loss using a GLP-1 medication, or are seeking a high-quality meal replacement product to help with getting the protein you need, NUMETRA™ products can be a great meal alternative this summer.

CONCI patients can purchase NUMETRA® shakes as well as bars and soups at either office or on CONCI's online store.
