Ok Babes, here’s the skinny on getting skinny. My ”beauty boyfriend”, Dr. Daniel Lévy, has done it AGAIN. If you’re a regular around here, you already know my loyalty and LOVE for Dr. Lévy’s artistry, precision, and the innovation behind everything he does and creates.
After helping me curate the perfect skincare routine (detailed my article titled, Botox and Beyond), I asked him to help me elevate my body and weight loss goals. Since giving birth to twins during the pandemic, I have come a long way on my body goals… but bouncing back from stubborn weight-gain and low energy has been a constant battle. All while trying to juggle all the things – y’all know, mommyhood, running a business, being a dedicated wifey and loving girlfriend to my loyal girl-squad… sound familiar mamas? I had previously tried several non-surgical body contouring treatments and even considered getting lipo, out of frustration from not being able to reach my body goals. Needless to say, I was over-the-moon excited to learn about the latest innovation from Levy Aesthetics, which works from the inside out.
Meet, LévyLean. A metabolic cocktail designed to facilitate weight loss by rebooting your body’s natural metabolism. The key ingredients are a blend of B Vitamins and Semaglutide (SG). SG is a glucagon-like peptide agonist (GLP-1) approved by the FDA in 2021 as a treatment for weight loss. Studies show that SG reduces appetite and cravings in addition to improving blood sugar control.
Have you ever wondered if your body is insulin resistant? Unfortunately, this is actually be quite common to varying degree for people over the age of 35. Here’s a little checklist of the side effects one can experience IF your insulin levels aren’t functioning properly:
· Irritability
· Excessive sleepiness after a meal
· Craving carbs / sugar
· Headaches
· Dizziness
· Poor sleep
· Mid-day sleepiness
· Excessive hunger shortly after eating
· Fatigue relieved by eating
Sound familiar anyone? I identified with at least five symptoms on this list before I started using LévyLean. And I must say, what a relief it is to no longer experience ANY of those awful symptoms. That, coupled with the fact that I have officially shed 20lbs since I started this Dr. Lévy’s metabolic cocktail (and I can finally fit into my extra skinny jeans), has made me extra peppy and even more confident in my own skin. I finally feel like my body is functioning the way it’s supposed too! It was the total body reset I needed and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Here’s how it works; you simply inject this metabolic cocktail weekly into the fat layer of a small pinched up pouch of skin in your lower stomach – basically the area around and below your belly button. Dr. Lévy and his incredible team will predetermine the best dosing for you and adjust the dose each month for based on your unique body goals .
The active and super effective ingredient in LévyLEAN is called, semaglutide, as mentioned above. SG is a peptide, very similar to a protein, just a smaller chain of amino acids. Peptides exist naturally in our body, so many professionals – myself and Dr. Lévy included – consider them to be a natural remedy. If you read the label on many of your beauty products, peptides will be at the top of the list simply since it’s a very effective ant-aging ingredient because it supports your body’s ability to rejuvenate NEW skin cells. SG is a well know weight loss medication, and one that’s been on the market for decades. It’s an instant metabolism boost. Basically, it helps your body burn more calories and fat faster than usual. And most importantly, it encourages your body to use insulin correctly.
Here’s how: Your body is stimulated to increase the production of your own insulin, which then regulates your blood sugar levels. Additionally, this active ingredient (SG) works to delay the emptying of your stomach, which reduces appetite/cravings and easily supports healthy lifestyle and diet changes. For me, this has meant implementing the practice of intermittent fasting.
Not only is intermittent fasting practiced and proven as an effective weight loss regimen, but the primary physical benefit is improvement of your overall metabolic health by lowering insulin resistance. This alone has been proven to help your body initiate the repair of important cells in your body AND balance hormone levels.
The most well-known internment fasting schedule is also the one I generally follow. It’s called, 16:8 ratio. This means I determine an eight-hour eating window based on what works best with my lifestyle. On most days, my eating window is from 10am to 6pm. Outside of that timeframe, I’m considered “fasting” and that’s where the 16 comes from. Fasting for at least 16- hours gives my body a chance to rest and allows blood levels of insulin to drop significantly. Not only does this help burn fat, but it can also lower your risk of disease, particularly diabetes and pre-diabetes. And most importantly, SG protects heart health.
