WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Lasting weight management for a longer life

Effective weight management isn’t just about appearance – it’s about optimizing your health and extending your lifespan.

Establishing a healthy weight can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

The link between weight and longevity

Improving insulin sensitivity is vital promoting longevity by enhancing metabolic health, reducing inflammation, and lowering the risk of age-related diseases

Shedding extra pounds often leads to more energy, better sleep, and improved overall well-being. You’ll feel lighter in body and mind, setting the foundation for longevity.

Find your weight management strategy

Medication for weight loss

For those interested in medicated weight maintenance, Metformin has shown to have benefit.

By regulating blood sugar and insulin levels, Metformin supports a balanced metabolism and helps prevent weight gain over time.

Make water your beverage of choice

Plan consistent, healthy meals

Avoid sugary and high-carb foods and drinks

Get sufficient rest every night

Consider Acarbose, a starchy carb blocker, to decrease spikes

Active living and mindful eating

Combining regular exercise with mindful eating is key to effective weight management.

Consistent physical activity boosts metabolism and improves body composition, while mindful eating and portion control help maintain a balanced metabolism and prevent weight gain.

Use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to understand your current levels

Switch to balanced, low-carb meals

Establish an exercise routine

Minimize stress levels

Consider Metformin to lower blood sugar levels

Maximize your results

Combine your weight loss journey with blēo and The Longevity AI, included with your treatment plan.

Track key health metrics like sleep, activity levels, and stress, providing real-time insights to support your weight management goals.

With personalized guidance, achieving lasting results becomes easier than ever.

Use a CGM periodically over any 14-day period

Understand how your habits affect your blood sugar

Measure efficacy of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes

Monitor your body’s response to treatments

Analyze, adjust, and repeat

Our glucose management treatments

Studies indicate that metformin can extend lifespan by improving metabolic efficiency and delaying the onset of metabolic diseases. Metformin activates the AMPK pathway, which is pivotal in regulating metabolism and cellular energy homeostasis.

Talk to your healthcare provider to see if a glucose management plan is right for you. Prescription products require an online consultation with a physician who will determine if a prescription is appropriate. See product page for important safety information. Benefits outlined on longevity.direct are based on 3rd party studies.

How does Rapaymcin work?

Rapamycin slows aging by targeting the mTOR pathway, shifting the body’s focus from growth to repair. It promotes cellular recycling, reduces overgrowth linked to disease, and enhances resilience to stress.

Imagine your body as a city, bustling with activity.

Cells are the workers, and mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) is the city planner, deciding where to focus resources – building new structures, cleaning up waste, or repairing old ones.

As we age, mTOR often prioritizes building (cell growth) over maintenance (cellular repair), leading to “clutter” in our bodies that contributes to aging and disease.

This is where Rapamycin comes in.

It acts like a wise advisor to mTOR, convincing it to slow down unnecessary growth projects and focus on clean up and repair instead.

Specifically, Rapamycin:

Activates cellular recycling (autophagy):

Think of autophagy as the city’s waste management system. Damaged parts of cells are broken down and reused, keeping the system efficient and healthy.

Reduces harmful overgrowth:

Overactive mTOR has been linked to diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s. By dialing back excessive growth signals, Rapamycin helps prevent these issues.

Supports stress resilience:

When cells are less focused on growing, they’re better equipped to handle stress, repair damage, and maintain long-term health.
