In this session, Dr. Lyon will review important principles that everyone on weight loss medications or those who are considering these in the future need to know.  Some of the topics discussed will include how to manage and minimize side effects, how to watch out for serious adverse effects, how to avoid muscle loss, and how to transition successfully when you come off these medications. 

We are hosting a 4-week health challenge created to inspire and assist you if you're in desperate need of a reset, accountability, or extra motivation to stick to your health goals. This will be a 4-week module designed to provide you with an opportunity for regular check ins, goal setting, motivation, resource sharing, and community. Each week will have a theme to focus on (e.g. nutrition, physical activity, mental wellbeing, etc.) and we will be entering participants who attend the sessions in a weekly draw for cool prizes designed to help encourage you with your health goals. Together we can help set ourselves up for success as we prepare for the fall gaining momentum.

Prediabetes is a health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetes. If overlooked, this condition can progress to diabetes, a chronic disease that could cause serious damage to many of the body’s systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. Fortunately, there are many modifiable risk factors that can help prevent the progression of prediabetes. In this session, we will discuss the physiology involved in blood sugar regulation, how pre-diabetes occurs and how it could progress to Type 2 Diabetes, review recommendations for the prevention of Type II Diabetes, as well as discuss how poor glycemic control can impact weight management. This special topic will be run by our internist, Dr. Jeff Kerrie.
