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.)

- Food sensitivity testing
- Micronutrient testing
- Nutrigen testing
- Sleep tracking - depending on whether weight loss is going as expected and how they answer questions about sleep.
Action: Medical director to advise what they feel is the biggest problem area(s) that require focused attention.

Visit 5
Focus of this visit is based on your assessment of biggest problem area(s).
From areas below, spend the time reinforcing needed behavior in 1-2 of the most problematic areas.

WOODBRIDGE, VA — In the last days of 2024 and early days of 2025, health inspectors found violations during inspections at some restaurants in the Woodbridge area.
Health inspectors conduct most restaurant and other health inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually. Violations 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. Other violations are addressed later, and an inspector may conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance.
Here are the most recent inspections from the Woodbridge and eastern Prince William County area, according to the Prince William Health District.

Here's How Much It Costs To Raise A Child In VA

VIRGINIA — If you’ve been weighing the costs of having a baby or getting a dog, either is going to cost you in Virginia, and it could break people who decide to do both.
That’s according to an analysis from Consumer Affairs that looked at the availability of child care and other costs of raising a child, and the amount of money Americans are spending to heap luxury on their dogs.
The analysis showed Virginia is the 41st most expensive state to raise a child and the 20th most expensive to raise a dog. It costs about $11,884 a year in Virginia to raise a child and about $2,566 a year to raise a dog.
While a new pet will set consumers back less than having a baby, either could push them to the point they have to borrow money, Consumer Affairs said. Nationally, the analysis showed the expenses associated with owning a dog, an average of $2,491, are less than one-sixth the cost of raising a child, an average of $15,752.
Among other factors used in the research are costs of food, medical care, and child care and dog day care in each of the 50 states.

Consumer Affairs said its analysis showed the expenses associated with owning a dog nationally, an average of $2,491, are less than one-sixth the cost of the annual expenses related to raising a child, an average of $15,752.
Other insights include:
Massachusetts is the most expensive state to raise a child, at an average annual cost of $27,473, while South Carolina is the most affordable state, with an average cost of $8,360 a year.
Massachusetts also had the largest difference in costs between raising a child and a dog, $27.473 versus $2,759 a year. In fact, for the cost of raising one child for a year, a Massachusetts resident could raise 10 dogs.
The most expensive state to raise a dog is Alaska, at $3,540 a year, while Arkansas is the cheapest place, at a cost of $2,262 a year.
Overall, the annual cost of raising a child is $15,752, while the cost of having a dog is $2,491 — a 532 percent difference, meaning that for every dollar it costs to have a dog, it costs $6.32 to have a child.
Child care, which on average costs parents nearly $12,000 a year, is the greatest of the expenses associated with raising a child. Expenses for an occasional pet sitter or boarding at a kennel are just 3.1 percent of that amount annually, Consumer Affairs said, adding that housing and transportation are other significant cost differences between children and dogs.
These 3 Illnesses Are Spiking In VA, CDC Says

Health experts are warning that there's an increasing number of three respiratory illness circulating in Virginia.
Deb Belt, Patch Staff
VIRGINIA— Health experts are warning that there's currently a "very high" level or rising numbers of three respiratory illness circulating in Virginia.
According to the CDC, emergency level visits for flu, RSV and COVID-19 are on the rise, with very high levels for RSV, moderate levels for flu, and low levels for COVID.
"When levels are high, it may indicate that infections are making people sick enough to require treatment," the CDC explained.
There is "limited coverage" to detect COVID, flu and RSV in Virginia wastewater, the CDC says.
"People who are infected often shed virus into wastewater, even if they don’t have symptoms. As a result, high wastewater levels may indicate an increased level of infections even when other measures remain low," according to the CDC.

And it's not just Virginia experiencing the uptick. According to CDC data, COVID-19 activity has increased in most areas of the country. Flu activity remains elevated across the country, and RSV activity is "very high" in many areas of the country, particularly in young children.
The CDC predicts that peak hospitalizations from all respiratory viruses remain likely to be much higher than they were before the emergence of COVID-19.
Related: Norovirus Cases Are Surging, CDC Says: What To Know In VA
Some symptoms are hard to distinguish among illnesses, especially with respiratory viruses. Others are unmistakable.
Here's what to know about the illnesses currently spreading in the area:
Wash your hands. Seriously. Rigorous and frequent handwashing — with soap! — is crucial to reduce the spread of norovirus, colds, flu and COVID-19. This is especially true after using the bathroom and eating or preparing food, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
If norovirus has found you, you'll want to immediately clean surfaces that came in contact with contaminated food or bodily fluids. The CDC recommends disinfecting things with a chlorine bleach solution or one of the products listed on this Environmental Protection Agency website.Don't forget to wash any clothing that came in contact with vomit or feces — use hot water and detergent. Then, wash your hands.
With colds and flu, it's best to regularly clean surfaces that you come into a lot of contact with. Think doorknobs, light switches, countertops, beloved toys, cellphones. Use household cleaning products that contain soap or detergent, and follow it up with a sanitizer. The CDC has more tips on how to clean. COVID-19 generally spreads through the air from droplets and particles, and the CDC says the risk of getting the virus from a contaminated surface is low.
Viruses can spread through talking, coughing and sneezing, so cover your mouth with a tissue if you feel a tickle in your throat or your nose. Then, wash your hands. Again.
Also, even if you're not sick, consider masking in crowded areas with an N95 or medical-grade mask to protect yourself from respiratory viruses. Don't touch your face: If you have a germ or virus on your unwashed hands — respiratory or norovirus — and touch your face, eyes or nose, it can get into your mucus membranes and, voila!, you're sick!
Updated COVID-19 vaccines are available, as well as annual flu shots for people 6 months and older. For those 60 and older or for people who are pregnant, you may want to get the RSV vaccine.But there is no vaccine for norovirus or the common cold.

In the United States, one of the most popular New Year’s Eve traditions is the dropping of the giant ball in New York City’s Times Square. Other U.S. cities have their own versions of this celebration, such as the Peeps Chick Drop in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and the giant Potato Drop in Boise, Idaho.
One of Virginia's traditions is the Chincoteague Island Horseshoe Drop, which celebrates the wild ponies that call Chincoteague home.
The transition from one year to the next is often marked by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne,” a Scottish folk song whose title roughly translates to “days gone by,” according to Encyclopedia Britannica and History.com.
The tradition of New Year’s resolutions dates back 8,000 years to ancient Babylonians, who made promises to return borrowed items and repay debts at the beginning of the new year, which was in mid-March when they planted their crops.
According to legend, if people kept their word, the pagan gods would grant them favor in the coming year. However, if they broke their promises, they would lose favor with the gods.
Many secular New Year’s resolutions focus on imagining new, improved versions of ourselves.
The failure rate of New Year’s resolutions is about 80 percent, according to U.S. News & World Report. There are many reasons, but a big one is they’re made out of remorse — for gaining weight, for example — and aren’t accompanied by a shift in attitude or a plan for coping with the stress and discomfort that comes with changing a habit or condition.
