What is our weight loss strategy?
Obesity is indeed an epidemic in the United States, and it is important to recognize that while many face similar challenges, each person's journey is distinct. Your unique combination of medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals necessitates a tailored approach to weight loss.
At EmpowHer Abilene Wellness & Weightloss Clinic, we emphasize the importance of clean, healthy eating as a foundational element of our program. Our strategy incorporates a detailed road map for your diet, along with weekly check-ins and support to ensure you feel guided throughout your journey. The Clean Start Program is designed to help you lose weight effectively, even without medications. Through strategies such as Vitamin B12 supplementation and personalized suggestions, we aim to empower you to achieve your weight loss goals safely.
For those who have struggled with various diets and feel that medications may be necessary, we offer comprehensive support in that area as well. Not all individuals require injectable or oral medications, though they can be beneficial for many. During a medication consultation, we practice shared decision-making, considering your medical history, objectives, and financial circumstances to identify the medication and dosage that suits you best.
It's crucial to understand the significant health and emotional consequences associated with being overweight. Obesity can lead to a multitude of acute and chronic physical and mental health issues. Recognizing that weight loss is not solely a matter of calories—hormonal balance also plays a critical role—is essential.
There will be times when you may need additional support to overcome obstacles on your weight loss journey. We acknowledge the risks involved in taking medications, but it is equally important to consider the risks associated with obesity. Our primary goal is to help you navigate these challenges in a manner that minimizes risks while maximizing benefits, always respecting your individual choices and preferences. We also know that maintaining your muscle, nutrients, collagen is essential in your ability to continue this journey for life! We are investing not only in 6-12 months of your life - but your future!
Finally, our journey has deep discounts on Emsella and Emsculpt Neo to help you maintain muscle while also losing fat - which is very important to your long term success!
Sincerely,
Dr. Mascorro

Eat Less
Obesity is often more complex than simply counting calories; it frequently involves hormonal disruptions, particularly related to insulin. Not all calories are equal when it comes to weight management. While calorie restriction can be effective for some, it is not a guaranteed solution for everyone. In many cases, individuals may struggle to lose weight despite calorie control due to underlying metabolic and hormonal issues.

Exercise More
Fat can be particularly resistant to exercise, especially in states of hormonal imbalance. While exercise is vital for maintaining a healthy heart, supporting mental well-being, and achieving weight loss, it may not always suffice on its own. For individuals struggling with obesity, the thought of moving in a gym environment can be daunting. Our approach focuses on helping you lose weight while discovering movement options that suit your body and lifestyle.

Use Self Control
Due to hormonal issues and the impact of neurotransmitters on obesity, many individuals struggle to resist comfort foods, especially when time constraints make healthy eating difficult. At EmpowHer Abilene, we understand these challenges. Our team is dedicated to helping you devise a personalized plan that focuses on healthy and smart eating options. If necessary, we can also explore medication options to help manage cravings and reduce the urge for comfort foods. Together, we can work towards achieving your wellness goals in a supportive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
get answers to all of your questions about Weight Loss in Abilene, Texas
How much weight will I lose?
Everyone is unique, but with medical management you can expect to lose up to 20% of your bodyweight. With Clean Start diet, B12 and exercise plan average weight loss is 5-15% body weight. Our goal is fat loss and muscle gain. Therefore, we are more invested in your fat loss and not your weight loss.
Is everyone a candidate?
Yes! However, you may not be a candidate for certain medications if you have or have had thyroid cancer, have a strong family history of MEN (multiple endocine neoplasia), gastropareisis, or Type 1 diabetes. We will tailor your diet and meds to your underlying medical conditions and goals to minimize risks and maximize progress.
How fast will I see results?
With compliance to our recommendations, you will begin to see results the very first week! (on average, 2-4 pounds/week). I don’t recommend more weight loss than this - excessive weight loss quickly is associated with muscle loss, decreased metabolism, loss of collagen and elastin, increased wrinkles, constipation, hernias and pelvic organ prolapse.
Who is an ideal candidate?
Weight loss medical management along with diet/exercise is recommended for anyone who has a BMI (body mass index) >30 or anyone with a BMI >25 with an associated obesity related medical problem like hypertension or hypercholesterolemia. However, weight loss medications can be prescribed off label with diet/exercise for anyone who would like to lose weight - and in my opinion, to prevent obesity.
What are the most common side effects from GLP-1s?
We start at a low dose and titrate up as recommended by the FDA trials to minimize side effects - nausea, diarrhea, constipation. We also recommend supplements and OTC meds specifically to combat these symptoms. We will tailor your dose to keep you on the lowest dose that is effective, minimizing risks and side effects.
Will I gain weight back?
If you only use GLP-1s to lose weight and change nothing else, you will gain weight back when you stop. I recommend you commit to 6-12 months of membership, weight loss on GLP-1s if you are using those before trying to wean off in ADDITION to the habits you change and learn during this membership. After stopping, if you desire to stop, we can try microdosing or other oral medications like Metformin or other peptides to help keep the weight off and prevent insulin resistance.
