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.
