"Terece is so much more personal than any other services I've used for weight loss including Noom. I never even met a actual person with Noom. With Terece, I know she is behind the recommendations and KNOWS me."

Mother and Daughter

"I  was able to watch my kids at home while we did our initial consultation. I didn't have to load them up or pay for a babysitter!"

"I would drive hours to see Terece, but I don't have to. I live in a rural town and making it to the city makes this kind of care nearly impossible with a full-time business of my own. We just jumped on the computer and got started right away. Working with Terece is effortless."

​​​"Hi, I want you to know something right away: I am you."

 

I know the struggle you’re facing because I lived it. The decades of frustration with weight loss and gain, the exhausting cycle of fad diets, the body hatred, brain fog, chronic fatigue, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, and the crushing disappointment of following plan after plan with no relief.

​

It wasn't until I heard my Nana in her 90's comment on her own body "looking like a barn" that I thought, no something has to change. I no longer wanted to hate or fight my body and I don't want you to either. 

​

​

Learning what MY body needed didn't happen overnight. I didn't have the guidance of an expert. It was a decades+ long process of searching, growing, and learning to provide this insight for you.

 

You don't need to spend another decade sifting through contradictory information. I am here to help you get there faster and get you FEELING better as well.

GLP-1/
GIP

GLP-1 and GIP Medication Overview (1).png

​​

What they are:

 

To put it simply, GLP-1 medications are a synthetic version of a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Your body naturally releases this hormone after you eat.

​

GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) is a natural hormone in your body, just like GLP-1. Both are called "incretin hormones" because they are released by your gut after you eat and signal your pancreas to release insulin

 

How they work

 

GLP-1 medications work by mimicking the effects of the natural GLP-1 hormone. They perform several key actions:

  • Stimulate insulin release: When your blood sugar levels rise after eating, these medications tell your pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use sugar for energy, instead of storing it thereby lowering your blood sugar.

  • Suppress appetite: GLP-1 medications act on your brain to reduce hunger and cravings, and also slow down the rate at which food leaves your stomach. This makes you feel full sooner and for a longer period of time, leading to reduced food intake.

  • Inhibit glucagon: They also block the release of another hormone called glucagon, which normally raises blood sugar levels. By doing this, they help prevent further increases in blood sugar.

  • This combination of effects helps to regulate blood sugar, control appetite, and can lead to significant weight loss.

  • A prescription is required, results may vary, and patients will have to consult with a healthcare provider prior to prescriptions.
