Maintain Your Wellness Momentum: LIVation's Strategies for New Year’s Resolutions

Don’t Let Go of Your New Year’s Fitness Resolutions! 3 Ways LIVation Can Help


We often start the new year with the best of intentions, ready to set and stick to goals that will improve our quality of life—new year, new us, right? However, it’s a fact that most people start to give up on New Year’s resolutions around the middle of January. The truth is that it takes anywhere from two months to over a year to form new habits. Without the proper incentive or support, it’s easy to get off track. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! At LIVation, we’re passionate about helping you achieve your wellness goals with treatments, technology, and medical expertise, which we provide with a custom approach in a warm, welcoming environment to keep you motivated and confident every step of the way. Here, we’ve outlined three of the most common New Year’s resolutions that people set every January and ditch by February—and how LIVation can help you check them off your list once and for all.


Staying Fit Throughout the Year: LIVation’s Emsculpt NEO Approach


We all know that maintaining a consistent fitness routine is important. Staying active supports cardiovascular health and improves mental wellness, as well as keeps you mobile and independent as you age. A lot of people associate fitness with cardio exercise like running and dancing, but it’s critical to incorporate muscle-strengthening exercises into a routine. Strength training is important because it helps increase your bone density, which naturally decreases as we get older, making us more susceptible to fractures. It can improve your balance, preventing falls. Stronger muscles can also help you control and lower your weight, because muscles help your body burn calories.


While you should already have a form of strength training in your regimen, an incredibly powerful and easy way to enhance your work in the gym is Emsculpt NEO, a treatment device that can be used across the body to help tighten, tone, slim, and strengthen. What makes Emsculpt NEO’s technology so unique is its combination of high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) and radiofrequency. 


Emsculpt NEO’s HIFEM triggers a sequence of rapid muscle contractions in the treatment area—way more than you could ever achieve on your own in the same window of time. Just one 30-minute ab treatment is the equivalent of 20,000 crunches! A series of sessions will significantly help to strengthen your muscles, making you look and feel like you’ve been working out regularly. Beyond observing more muscle definition, patients using Emsculpt on their abs notice less back pain as well as improvement to diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscles which commonly occurs during pregnancy. The additional radiofrequency energy delivers concentrated (but not uncomfortable) heat, which helps reduce fat, creating a slimmer appearance and allowing those newly-strengthened muscles to pop even further. Emsculpt NEO can be used on the abs, arms, legs, and glutes. 


At LIVation, we offer the best pricing on Emsculpt NEO treatments along the Connecticut shoreline, with a package of four treatments for $2,000 or six for $2,800. We perform these treatments once weekly to provide the best results. 


Starting Your Weight Loss Journey With Semaglutide at LIVation


Many of us have said it time and time again: “This is the year I’m going to lose weight.” Obviously, losing weight is critical to one’s health—weight loss reduces your risk of heart disease, takes stress off your joints, and boosts your energy levels. It can also improve your mental health. When you look good, you feel good, which can go a long way towards improving your self-esteem.

But losing weight is often easier said than done. Lifestyle changes are key to successful weight loss, but some aspects are out of our control. Maybe you have an impossibly busy schedule that doesn’t allow for consistent and nutritious meals, or you have a health issue that makes weight loss seem impossible. At LIVation, we understand and relate—we’ve been there and are currently supporting our own weight loss goals with semaglutide.


Semaglutide has risen in popularity in the past few years; you’ve likely seen news about medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. Semaglutide is the active ingredient in these drugs, which are nothing short of miraculous: They help you feel fuller faster and longer while reducing cravings. If you always feel hungry or are constantly thinking about your next snack, semaglutide could help you. Semaglutide has been studied and proven to be effective and safe for the majority of people who take it, with many people seeing results after just a few weeks of treatment. 


As patients of this treatment ourselves, we can attest to how helpful and valuable this medication has been to our daily lives. We’re proud to offer semaglutide treatment at a cost of $400 for four weeks, which is one of the lowest prices on semaglutide weight loss shots you’ll find in the area. In conjunction with your weekly injections, our team of medical professionals will be working with you to track your progress and customize your treatment to help you reach your goals.


Boosting Nutrition All Year Round: LIVation's IV Therapy Benefits


Eating a rich, nutritious diet full of lean proteins, whole grains, and colorful fruits and vegetables is one of the staples of living a healthy lifestyle, but we’re all susceptible to cutting corners. Junk food is undeniably delicious—it’s engineered that way!—and the fastest foods to make are often not particularly healthy. Combine that with our fast-paced lives and ever-rising supermarket prices and you’re bound to find yourself making unhealthy choices. 


The key word here is nutrition: Refined grains, sugars, and fats in moderation are fine, but without leafy greens and other healthier foods, your body won’t be getting the vitamins and nutrients it needs. Large percentages of Americans are deficient in vitamins A, C, D, E, and magnesium, essential nutrients that support brain function, promote wound healing, maintain strong teeth and bones, regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and more. And while a healthy diet is essential for boosting your body’s levels of vitamins and nutrients, many people need more help. Certain medical conditions and genetic predispositions can also cause deficiencies.


At LIVation, we offer a wide range of oral supplements that you can take regularly as maintenance and work with each of our patients to create a customized regimen that will help them feel their best. We carefully research all of the supplements we sell to ensure we offer the most effective products. However, the fastest and most effective way to get your vitamins and nutrients is through IV therapy, our signature treatment. Your body only absorbs about 30 percent of the vitamins in an oral supplement, which is what makes it ideal for maintenance—but because you’re getting the vitamins and nutrients from an IV infusion directly into your bloodstream, your body can use, store, and process exactly what it needs, increasing the bioavailability to 100 percent. This only takes about 30 minutes of treatment, making it easy to incorporate into your schedule.


LIVation’s IV infusions can be tailored exactly to your needs and specifications, whether you have chronic health issues or you’re feeling a little under the weather. We administer our IV infusions in our warm, comfortable space based in Madison, CT (or, if you prefer, a sterile, private room). Based on availability, we also offer mobile IV therapy services, bringing bespoke treatment to your home for the ultimate in patient care.

There’s a reason everyone’s talking about semaglutide—it changes lives. This weekly shot helps people shed excess weight, manage blood sugar, and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and complications, all of which help patients live fuller, more rewarding lives. Semaglutide weight loss shots have been an invaluable tool at LIVation in supporting our patients’ health and wellness journeys and one of our most popular treatments. But what happens after you stop taking semaglutide, whether it’s compounded semaglutide or a brand name product like Ozempic or Wegovy? A lot of people believe that you have to stay on semaglutide for the rest of your life, and while some people may need to or want to, you can certainly stop taking it. However, there is a risk that you could gain weight. Discontinuing semaglutide will cause your brain and body to revert to how it originally responded to food, and if you’re not prepared, you may fall back into bad habits. Here, we share our tips for maintaining weight loss after stopping semaglutide—and remember, the team at LIVation is here to help you every step of the way. Understanding Post-Ozempic Weight Dynamics Semaglutide helps people lose weight by making them feel fuller faster and longer than they normally would without the drug. It also helps curb cravings. As you taper off, you may find that cravings return and you’ll feel the need to eat more in order to feel full. If semaglutide was helping you manage your blood sugar, ceasing taking it will mean your blood sugar won’t be regulated. For many people, these changes can cause rebound weight gain, with some gaining all of the weight, if not more, that they lost when taking semaglutide. Understanding these changes are the first step towards maintaining the results you achieved with the help of semaglutide. Holistic Weight Management Strategies Beyond Semaglutide To help maintain your semaglutide weight loss, there are some critical steps to take. And while we know you’ve likely heard this your whole life, staying hydrated is essential to weight loss. The most obvious reason for this is that drinking water can help you feel fuller, which may help prevent you from overeating or drinking excess liquid calories (like soda or other sugary drinks). But drinking water can do so much more than that. Water is key to your body’s ability to metabolize fat, whether that’s stored fat or fat found in food and drink. Studies show that drinking more water can increase your rate of weight loss. Drinking water also helps your body clear waste, including toxins that are filtered by and held in the kidneys. When your body is dehydrated, your kidneys retain fluid. You may also face issues with constipation, or experience bloating. Flushing your body by consuming enough water can help you shed weight caused by waste retention. You may be wondering how electrolytes play a role in body hydration. Electrolytes are important nutrients that help control fluid balance in your body, support muscle contractions, and even support your blood sugar. Those people who struggle to drink enough water or get enough nutrients in their diet when taking semaglutide (which is not uncommon, as those taking semaglutide consume less overall) may have depleted electrolyte levels, which can result in nausea, fatigue, cognitive issues, blood pressure fluctuations, heart concerns, and more. At LIVation, we offer LMNT electrolyte powder packets in a variety of flavors to mix into water before drinking, which will help to instantly boost your body’s electrolyte levels and restore balance in your body. You should also be maintaining a consistent exercise routine. Doing this while taking semaglutide was important because without strength training, the shrinking number you see on the scale could be due to muscle loss, not just fat loss. Muscle burns more calories than fat and can only be gained through strength training. If you lose too much muscle and don’t build it up with resistance training, you’ll burn fewer calories—and if you’re trying to control an insatiable appetite after quitting semaglutide, this can make it easy to put the weight back on. Integrating Emsculpt NEO in Your Post-Ozempic Regimen In addition to following a consistent workout routine to build muscle, you can try Emsculpt NEO , a go-to treatment of our patients at LIVation. Emsculpt is an innovative device powered by radiofrequency and muscle-stimulating technology that helps grow muscle while burning fat. This treatment can be used on the abs, glutes, thighs, arms, and more areas to counteract muscle loss, which will support your body’s ability to burn calories and promote lasting weight loss as well as enhance the results of your weight loss from semaglutide. Combining Semaglutide with Nutritional Guidance at LIVation Beyond fitness and hydration, following a healthy diet is the most important aspect of maintaining weight loss. Because semaglutide helps to control cravings and prevent overeating, it can be challenging to stick to your goals and eat things that supply your body with essential nutrients rather than junk food.  Figuring out how to eat without the help of semaglutide can be one of the greatest challenges our patients face after stopping the drug. We urge you to rely on us! At LIVation, our licensed medical providers can work with you to create a nutritional plan to ensure your body is getting the vitamins and minerals it needs without overdoing it. That plan may include lean proteins, leafy greens, and complex carbohydrates, depending on your dietary restrictions. We formulate our compounded semaglutide with amino acid l-carnitine. This nutrient helps your body convert fatty acids into energy. We often recommend that our semaglutide patients supplement their injections with oral l-carnitine. Following this regimen is even more important once getting off semaglutide. We sell D esigns For Health Carnitine Synergy, which combines l-carnitine with another form known as acetyl-l-carnitine, which supports brain health and function. The Role of Personalized IV Therapy in Weight Maintenance As mentioned, keeping your body hydrated greatly facilitates weight loss, whether you’re on semaglutide or off. LIVation’s origins are in IV therapy and integrating regular IV drips into your wellness routine are a great way to support the results of your weight loss from semaglutide. Our signature IV infusion therapy options will flood your body with hydration as well as vitamins, minerals, and more nutrients to help your body function at its peak. Talk to our providers about how custom IV therapy can help you maintain your weight loss after taking Ozempic, Wegovy, or compounded semaglutide. Maintenance Doses of Semaglutide Everyone needs a little boost now and again. If you find yourself falling into old patterns or are struggling to manage your weight during a challenging period in your life, there’s no shame in visiting us for a maintenance dose. Many of LIVation’s semaglutide patients—as well as our founders!—choose to get semaglutide weight loss shots every few weeks rather than every week. This keeps low levels of the drug in your system, which still helps reduce your cravings and keep you feeling fuller longer, but won’t create as strong of an effect as a weekly dose would. LIVation's Approach to Affordable, Long-Term Health Solutions At our clinic on the Connecticut shoreline, we offer a variety of health and wellness treatments to help our patients look and feel their best.
