Revolex ™ No Shots.

Red Mountain’s Revolex™ includes semaglutide (FDA-approved for weight loss) because it has been shown to help patients successfully achieve their goals. The medication also contains peptides to reduce adverse side effects that are typical in other commercially available semaglutide medications.

Semaglutide is a synthetic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It mimics a protein made in the intestine that stabilizes blood sugar and insulin levels. It also delays “gastric emptying,” making you feel full faster and longer.

Full-Strength Medication With Fast Results

Revolex starts at the FDA-approved effective dose from day one rather than take months to build up to that dosage (unlike commercially available semaglutide). This means you can experience results faster.

No Needles or Shots

You won’t have to worry about needles or shots with Revolex. The medication distributes the dosage of semaglutide in a tablet that dissolves quickly under your tongue once a day.

Rare or Minimal Side Effects

A patented blend of ingredients negates common side effects that can come with semaglutide. With Revolex, you will lose weight and still feel great!

Accelerates Your Weight Loss

When combined with our Flex™ program, Revolex can help you lose up to 15 lbs per month. You’ll receive everything you need to achieve your goals and avoid rebound weight gain.

Exclusive To Red Mountain

Revolex is formulated exclusively for Red Mountain by a PCAB-accredited compound pharmacy to ensure you receive the purest and safest product. Since the ingredients are directly sourced for compounding, Revolex has no impact on the availability of semaglutide for diabetes medications.

LET’S TALK ABOUT OBESITY

If you are one of the millions who have struggled with obesity, you are not alone. Approximately 40% (about 93.3 million) of adults in the U.S. are obese. This isn’t just a cosmetic concern — but a medical issue that increases the risk of other health conditions. There are many reasons someone may be affected by obesity, such as inherited factors like genetics.

The Link Between Obesity & Diabetes

Did you know that obesity is linked to up to half of new diabetes cases annually in the U.S.? Diabetes is a chronic health condition marked by an impairment in how the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as fuel.

After a meal, your body breaks down the food into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar increases, it signals your pancreas to release insulin, allowing your body’s cells to use the blood sugar as energy or to store as fat for later use.

With type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but the body doesn’t use it efficiently. This causes increased blood sugar levels, which stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin and eventually leads to fat deposition, hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular disease. Losing 5-7% of your body weight may lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, if you already have the condition, it may be possible to reverse it and get off your medications with weight loss.

Benefits of Medical Weight Loss

The good news is that you can accomplish your goals with the help of licensed medical experts. Unlike commercial diets, medical weight loss offers many benefits:

A well-balanced diet is essential for weight loss — but exercise is a great way to support your efforts and develop an overall healthy lifestyle. Here are four ways exercise can improve your health, along with three moves to help you get started.

Improves Sleep

Exercise can increase sleep quality by reducing sleep onset – or the time it takes to fall asleep –and decrease the amount of time you lie awake in bed during the night.

Decreases Stress

Moving your body releases endorphins (or neurotransmitters) in your brain that help you feel good. These endorphins help to decrease the feelings of stress or anxiety, which puts your mind at ease.

Builds Strong Bones (And Muscles)

Exercise can build muscle — it can also strengthen your bones. Walking or strength training helps you preserve bone density and even helps prevent osteoporosis, which develops when bone mass decreases.

Reduces Your Risk of Diabetes

Studies have shown 30 minutes of activity, 5 days a week, reduces your risk of developing diabetes by almost 25%.

3 Exercises for Beginners

Hold Tall Plank, Tap Shoulders

Make sure your shoulders are stacked over your wrists. Hold a “tall” plank on your toes.* Right hand quickly taps left shoulder, and left hand then quickly taps right shoulder. Continue to alternate.

*Modified Move: Complete on your knees

Alternate Forward Lunge

Stand upright, step forward, leading with the left foot and sink into the left heel as you drop your right knee toward the floor (the goal is to get both knees bent at 90° angles). Push back into a standing position and step forward with your right foot. Continue and alternate sides.

Wide-to-Narrow Squat

Stand with legs close together, sink into heels, then stand up, and step left for a wide squat. Stand up, back to a narrow squat. Stand up and step right to a wide squat. Stand tall to a narrow squat, and continue.

Christi B. Lost 83 Lbs on RM3 ® & Feels Unstoppable

My job as an on-air radio talent requires me to be in the public eye every day. Being overweight made it difficult to be comfortable in my own skin. I worked with some of the skinniest women in the business, so I always felt like the fat girl. If there were an event coming up, I’d dread it because I needed to find a new outfit to wear. It didn’t matter how hard I tried; I could never hide the fat.

My weight also made me not want to go out anywhere. I’d come up with excuses as to why I had to stay home because I felt I embarrassed my family when we were with others. I’m naturally very social, but my weight kept me from people because I didn’t like my appearance.

I debated weight loss surgery because I had done every diet possible. You name it; I tried it. Some were more successful than others. However, the weight would always come back, and I’d be heavier than when I started. I got on the scale one morning and weighed as much as I did when I had my son… 10 years prior! I couldn’t believe I had let myself get this way.

At the time, I wasn’t sleeping well. I’d wake up in the middle of the night choking because I had either stopped breathing or choked on my tongue. One night, I woke up gasping for air and couldn’t catch my breath. That was it. I was done being overweight for good this time.

The issue I’ve always had with weight loss was not seeing results fast enough. With Red Mountain Weight Loss®, I saw the scale change quickly, which kept me going. Shortly after I started RM3®, my clothes began to fit better, my sleep improved, and people started to notice. I felt like I could succeed this time.

I could have stopped there and been happy, but I wanted to keep going. I wanted to show my kids what dedication and commitment could do. It also gave me a new level of confidence in my job.

I don’t think I can say enough about how amazing the team is at Red Mountain. Every person I have encountered has been supportive, patient, and kind. When you are overweight and have been made fun of in life or are at your absolute lowest point, how you’re treated makes all the difference in your success. I have worked hard to get here, and I will celebrate it!

When I broke the 200s, I cried because I hadn’t done this in FOREVER.

Picture this: You’ve finally reached your goal weight but notice a few areas you want to “fine tune.” You eat healthy and exercise but don’t see the results you want. Does this sound familiar? It might be time to consider CoolSculpting® Elite!

Benefits of Body Contouring

CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive treatment that uses intense cold to freeze fat cells. When frozen, fat cells are destroyed and naturally eliminated from the body. Over time, you can expect a 20-25% reduction in the treated areas. The results are permanent, so you achieve the additional inch loss you’re looking for. Since CoolSculpting Elite is non-surgical, you don’t have to worry about downtime, the risk of complications, or scars.

Is More Confident Than Ever After CoolSculpting Elite

BEFORE

I’ve always had a passion for wellness, so I know how important it is to take care of your body. When I started working at Red Mountain Weight Loss®, I weighed 250 pounds and didn’t feel like I was setting the best example for our weight loss patients.

Every day I was surrounded by amazing people in my life. But, in the back of my head, I was still unhappy with myself because of my weight. I started RM3® to improve myself and understand the patient experience. When I saw the number on the scale drop, I thought, “Oh my gosh, it’s actually working!” Eventually, I reached my goal of losing 90 pounds.

I thought CoolSculpting Elite would be a great way to finish my weight loss journey by zoning in on the stubborn fat and pockets still left behind around my abdomen and flanks. This treatment was a convenient and non-invasive way to address the last part of my journey.

CoolSculpting Elite has given me the confidence to participate in activities I previously would have avoided. I feel like a new person!
