Semaglutide
In an early study of 2,000 obese adults compared people using semaglutide plus a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without semaglutide. After 68 weeks, half of the participants using semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, and nearly a third lost 20%.
Another study with similar results
Lumen device/total metabolism tracking
The Lumen device measures carb and fat burn using a highly validated test of CO2 that is detected when patient breathes into the device. This has been validated to closely approximate real metabolism. Patients just need to breathe into the device daily to get helpful recommendations and better understand how their body burns fat.
Follow our personalized program to achieve the most Fat loss using safe and effective medications and Program therapies
Schedule of health coach visits for 12-week program (8 visits)
Visit 1
Discussion of body composition and patient goals.
Encourage patient to come to the office for bi-weekly visits if geographically feasible. Discuss role of Lumen device in terms of metabolism tracking.
Action: Advise patient to keep food diary for next week and to use the Lumen device daily.
Visit 2
Discuss food diary and make appropriate suggestions for improvement
Focusing on total caloric intake and healthy eating. Go deep here as much as time allows. Have to set the foundation for healthy eating. Explain that we do not recommend "dieting". Goal is to change our eating to a healthy eating that can be maintained well after program is over.
Action: Ask patient to keep diary of exercise for next week. If possible suggest they get an activity tracker for more accurate tracking.
Visit 3
Discuss exercise pattern from prior week and make appropriate recommendations.
Focus on anaerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes 4-5 times per week. Aerobic should be on top of this but if they only have time for one or the other, then advise anaerobic.
Action: Advise patient to get new body composition prior to next week's visit.
Visit 4
Discuss progress/lack of progress vs week 1 baseline if we have a new body composition.
Keep in mind that they are in the building stage of the medication, so we are not expecting a lot of fat loss at this point. 3-4 lbs of fat loss in the first month would be considered a success. Many patients with 75-100 lbs to lose report losing up to 25 lbs in first month. Ascertain if patient has been compliant with dietary and exercise recommendations and medication adherence.
Action: If there has been no fat loss or even fat gain, then need to discuss the case with medical director for possible additional interventions. Advise patient to track sleep for next week preferably with sleep tracking device but if not, then just manual tracking (time to bed, time waking up, how many times did they awake for the night, sleep hygiene questions.)

Sterling VA Homeowners: Kitchen or Bathroom Renovation First? Local Remodeling Expert Weighs In

"People torture themselves over this choice because they know they're stuck with whatever they decide for a long time," a company spokesperson said. "Here's what we tell them: if you cook at home constantly, if the kitchen layout makes you want to scream every time three people try to use it at once, if buyers in your area won't touch homes with outdated kitchens, then the kitchen goes first. But if your mother-in-law's moving in and she can't step over a tub wall, or if
WellCraft Kitchen and Bath helps homeowners in Sterling and Northern Virginia decide whether to renovate a kitchen or bathroom first when budgets are limited. The company advises prioritizing resale value, daily comfort, safety, and hidden issues like leaks or code problems. Professional assessments help determine which space truly needs attention first. WellCraft Kitchen and Bath operates as a remodeling contractor in Sterling and across Northern Virginia. The company recently shared insights on a question that keeps homeowners awake at night: which room to renovate first when money only stretches far enough for one project. Most families face this exact scenario. Both spaces need work. The budget covers one renovation, maybe. Choosing wrong means years of regret, watching the other room deteriorate while scraping together savings all over again.
The work WellCraft Kitchen and Bath handles covers kitchens and bathrooms from start to finish. Cabinets get designed, built, and installed. Countertops go in. Layouts change when walls need moving. Floors get replaced. Old fixtures come out, new ones go in. WellCraft Kitchen and Bath sits down with people who need help figuring out where their money goes first. Some homes have kitchens falling apart.
WellCraft Kitchen and Bath breaks down how to actually think through this decision. Selling the house soon? Kitchen remodeling [https://www.google.com/maps?cid=7424850969680940928] projects usually return more money and get buyers through the door faster. Staying put for the next decade or longer? Fix whatever room makes daily life miserable right now. A kitchen with ugly countertops but working appliances causes less damage than a bathroom where the shower pan leaks and water damage spreads through the subfloor into the ceiling below. Money matters too. Complete kitchen renovations cost more than most bathroom projects.
"People torture themselves over this choice because they know they're stuck with whatever they decide for a long time," a company spokesperson said. "Here's what we tell them: if you cook at home constantly, if the kitchen layout makes you want to scream every time three people try to use it at once, if buyers in your area won't touch homes with outdated kitchens, then the kitchen goes first. But if your mother-in-law's moving in and she can't step over a tub wall, or if black mold covers half the bathroom ceiling, or if the toilet leaks through the floor every time someone flushes it, that bathroom jumps to the front of the line no matter what. Safety beats everything else."
People in Sterling searching for remodeling services near me need to stop guessing and start getting professional eyes on both rooms. WellCraft Kitchen and Bath goes through homes and finds problems owners miss during their own inspections. Structural issues hiding behind walls. Code violations from previous owners. Water damage that hasn't shown up as visible stains yet. Knowing what's actually wrong in both spaces, not just what looks bad from the doorway, changes which project makes sense to tackle first. Sometimes the room that seems fine actually needs more work than the obviously outdated space. Kitchen remodeling Sterling VA decisions should come from informed assessments rather than assumptions about which room matters more.

Authorities say an "electrical event" in an HVAC unit caused the fire.
LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. — Three people are in the hospital after a fire at a nursing home in Sterling on Thursday morning, after an "electrical event" in an HVAC unit on the property.
Firefighters with the Loudoun County Fire Department were called to the Potomac Falls Health and Rehab Center in the 46000 block of Leesburg Pike around 7:30 a.m. for a report of a fire. Responding crews were able to evacuate the building. Three civilians were taken to an area hospital for treatment of injuries, but details about those injuries, as well as their severity, have not been made public.
"Three residents were transported to area hospitals for further evaluation, and eight occupants were treated and/or released on scene," officials said in a press release Thursday afternoon.
Eleven residents were evaluated by EMS personnel and three residents were transported to Reston Hospital Center and Inova Loudoun Hospital – Lansdowne for further evaluation. One patient was later transferred to the Washington Hospital Burn Center for specialized care. Eight residents refused care after being evaluated by fire and rescue units.
Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the blaze and remained on scene to make sure the building was safe for residents.
Investigators say the fire was caused by an "electrical event" in an HVAC unit in a patient's room on the ground floor and caused more than $963,000 in damage.
Leesburg Pike was closed for the fire response, but has since reopened to traffic.
Additional details, including damage estimates to the building, are not yet known. We are working to confirm more information and will update this story as soon as we know more.

ASHBURN, VA — Numerous restaurants in the Ashburn and Sterling area recorded violations during recent health department inspections so far in December.
Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected. For every observed violation, the inspector provides a specific corrective action that can be completed to rectify the violation.
Sometimes these are simple, and violations can be corrected during the course of the inspection. Some common violations may include foods hot holding or cold holding at improper temperatures, foods without dates marked, and sanitizer with improper amounts.
Here are restaurant inspection results in and around Ashburn and Sterling in December from the Loudoun County Health Department. Notable violations included debris inside the ice machine at King Pollo, expired food at Moon Lounge, white substance growth on food at a Subway, a fuzzy mold-like substance on sandwiches at Rahama African Restaurant.
