Weight loss shots to jump start your journey...
MRC medical weight loss medications mimic a peptide hormone using a compounded form that acts similarly to protein in the body. For those facing these aforementioned challenges, weight loss injections may be the solution you need to start seeing results again.
Receptor agonists release chemical messengers that slow food movement from the stomach to the small intestine (gastric emptying), creating a feeling of fullness sooner, and for longer periods. This hormone naturally curbs hunger, encouraging you to eat less food without feelings of constant hunger. If weight loss injectables are not suitable for you, that's OK. MRC's approach to weight loss encompasses both prescription and traditional (non-medical) weight loss programs and methods.

An Individualized Approach to Weight Control
At the medical weight loss clinic Sioux City, we believe in a holistic approach that incorporates medical assessments, personalized nutrition, and lifestyle guidance. Whether you choose a medical approach or select a more traditional weight loss plan, your success is our top priority and we’re here to provide the support and resources you need.
While compounded weight loss medications can only be purchased with a prescription from a trusted provider, these compounded medications are just one part of our comprehensive approach that can include:
EATING REAL FOOD – For many, a diet rich in whole foods simplifies weight loss and maintenance. Minimally processed lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats help restore and maintain body balance. Those who follow a diet rich in whole foods often have an edge in maintaining a healthy weight. A real-food menu plan naturally limits fat and sugar absorption, aiding in losing weight and keeping it off. The result, you intake more real whole foods without the calorie increase that often comes along with heavily processed alternatives.
1-ON-1 COACHING – MRC weight loss coaches are not only experienced professionals but many have also faced the ups and downs of weight loss themselves. One-on-one sessions are your opportunity to ask questions and receive support anytime it is needed. Once you've established achievable goals, your coach will break them down into manageable steps. Our coaches also assist you in modifying your menus, planning daily exercise, and providing the knowledge you need to take control of your program.
HORMONE BALANCING – At the medical weight loss clinic Sioux City, we understand how hormonal changes can affect one’s ability to shed unwanted weight. Learning how hormones like thyroid, leptin, insulin, ghrelin, and other hormones affect weight loss and weight gain can be key in personalizing weight control strategies. That’s why we offer both DNA testing and our MRC Hormone Test Kit to help determine what’s needed to restore natural balance for more effective weight control.
MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS PLANS – Compounded prescription weight loss medications work by regulating chemical messengers in the brain, digestive system, and adipose tissue to enhance satiety, suppress appetite, and eliminate boredom eating. Early indicators show that such medications are even more effective when combined with personalized menus. While injections alone might not suffice for everyone, they are proven effective in managing hunger and can be beneficial for those who have struggled with other weight loss methods in the past.
At the medical weight loss clinic Sioux City, our goal goes beyond helping you lose weight; we aim to equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to maintain a body you can love and be proud of for a lifetime. In addition to prescription weight loss injections, we offer a holistic approach that addresses more than just calorie cutting or restrictive diets. Whether you choose to use the newest medications or not, MRC will help you identify any underlying factors in your weight loss struggles.
