NUMETRA® shakes are a great meal replacement when you are in a rush, have no time to cook, or want something cold because it's just too hot outside! NUMETRA® shakes are an excellent source of protein (20g), provide 160 calories, offer portion and calorie control, and are considered a complete meal replacement due to their nutritional content. Because of the balance of high-quality protein and dietary fiber, these products help with staying fuller longer while also promoting fat loss and muscle retention. NUMETRA™ is produced in the United States by the Robard Corporation, a trusted leader in medical weight management since 1976. Their high-quality products are developed based on nutritional research specific to weight management.

The shakes are available in several flavors. They taste great, are very satisfying, provide the protein we need, and are convenient. Whether you are in the process of losing weight, maintaining your weight loss using a GLP-1 medication, or are seeking a high-quality meal replacement product to help with getting the protein you need, NUMETRA™ products can be a great meal alternative this summer.

CONCI patients can purchase NUMETRA® shakes as well as bars and soups at either office or on CONCI's online store.

Weight gain and obesity are major risk factors for developing sleep apnea. About 90% of American adults with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) are overweight. Standard treatment for OSA is the nightly use of a C-PAP machine, which many people struggle with. The weight loss drug ZEPBOUND® may now provide an alternative treatment. ZEPBOUND® was recently approved by the FDA as the first and only prescription medicine for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe OSA and obesity. Results of clinical trials showed that "ZEPBOUND® significantly improved moderate-to-severe OSA and aided in long-term weight loss in adults with obesity." While C-PAP therapy remains the gold standard of OSA treatment, the drug's approval gives patients another option to discuss with their physician. Susan R., this month's featured patient in the story above, was experiencing some of the common symptoms of sleep apnea. She had no idea she had it until her doctor suggested she have a sleep study, and the results indicated that she did. Weight loss was the course of treatment recommended by her doctor. Now, 50 pounds lighter, her sleep apnea symptoms have resolved.

Unfortunately, many cases of sleep apnea go undiagnosed or untreated, resulting in many people being at risk for serious health consequences. If you snore loudly, wake up gasping for air, wake up with headaches, or experience daytime sleepiness despite getting adequate sleep, see your physician to discuss whether a sleep study may be appropriate for you.

Susan R. has struggled with her weight for a good part of her adult life due to thyroid issues and a sluggish metabolism. In 2019 her endocrinologist suggested she consider CONCI because of its physician-supervised weight loss program. Susan went on to lose 54 pounds in 8 months.

Fast-forward to 2025: Susan's weight yo-yoed up and down over the past 5 years. In August of 2025 her weight hit an all-time high, plus she was dealing with a couple new medical problems. In addition to her prior thyroid issue, she now had elevated blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, all of which would come under better control with weight loss. In addition, she noticed unexplained daytime fatigue. Eventually, the daytime drowsiness became problematic enough to warrant a visit to her doctor. To have a clearer picture of what was going on, he ordered a sleep study. To her surprise, the study confirmed she had sleep apnea. The lack of good regenerative sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, and trouble concentrating are common symptoms of sleep apnea. Susan's symptoms matched up with her new diagnosis. Weight loss was recommended because it can help reduce sleep apnea symptoms and bring them to a safer level.

Susan knew immediately who to contact to get the support she needed. She chose to follow a high-quality meal replacement diet using NUMETRA® products. By Thanksgiving 2025, Susan had lost 50 pounds. She feels great, has her energy back, and no longer struggles with daytime drowsiness. Now on maintenance for the past 6 months, she focuses on healthy eating and exercise. To help with calorie control, Susan incorporates some NUMETRA® products into her daily maintenance food plan.

Acid reflux (heartburn, GERD) is one of the most common side effects on GLP-1. It's caused by delayed gastric emptying. Food sits in the stomach longer, which pushes acid upward. There are steps that can be taken, as listed in the attached chart, such as smaller meals, walking after dinner, and chewing gum, that can help alleviate acid reflux.

Also consider the following foods that can help calm acid reflux:

𝗢𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 - Absorbs acid. Gentle on the stomach.
𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘀 - Naturally low-acid
𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮 - Anti-inflammatory. Helps with both nausea and reflux. Steep fresh ginger in hot water.
𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘁 - Probiotics + protein. Avoid flavored versions with high sugar.
𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘆 - Baked or grilled, not fried.
𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 - Plain white or brown rice. Bland, absorbent, easy to digest.
𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻 (𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗲, 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆𝗱𝗲𝘄) - Alkaline fruits. Low acid. High water content.
𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 (𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱) - Gentle protein. Avoid frying in butter or oil.

Despite being underweight as a child and teenager, Sarah’s weight started to become a problem at age 23. In her late 30’s, she reached her highest weight of 400 pounds. In 2016, she made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery which brought her weight down to 180 pounds. Sarah was successful keeping the weight off for 5 years but gradually found herself slipping back into old habits. The weight started to creep back. She could see it and could feel it. Sick and tired of being sick and tired, Sarah knew she had to stop any further gain. In January 2025 she set several goals including getting back to a comfortable weight, becoming more active, improving her health, and getting to a place both physically and mentally where she is “comfortable in her own skin.” Knowing she had to be accountable to someone and needing guidance to help change her attitude toward food, Sarah wanted professional help. She found what she needed at CONCI.

Sarah’s diet plan consisted of 4 high quality meal replacement shakes and one small meal in combination with taking a GLP-1 medication. Sarah was comfortable with her plan knowing she would be regularly followed by a CONCI nurse practitioner or physician. During her weight loss journey at CONCI, she started caring and believing in herself again. She began eating in a way she hadn’t in the past…viewing food as fuel and choosing her food wisely. In 16 months, Sarah lost 78 pounds! Thanks to weight loss and exercise, she is more confident in herself, can move without pain, and she is more flexible than she has been in 25 years. She has stepped up her activity level and is even starting to train for a 5K!

GLP-1 medications can help with weight loss and health improvement, but lasting success comes when both medication and staying active are part of your plan. When weight changes quickly, the body can lose muscle along with fat. Muscle helps you stay steady on your feet, get up from a chair, enjoy everyday activities, and stay independent. That’s why exercise, especially strength training, is so important when using a GLP-1 medication. It’s also important to choose the right foods to protect your muscle, and that’s why protein-rich foods are so important. GLP-1 medications can reduce appetite, which means every bite matters. If you aren’t sure what foods are good sources of lean protein, our dietitians can help!

Research shows that comprehensive programs that offer nutrition counseling, lifestyle change, and exercise information help people stay consistent, do better protecting muscle mass, and achieve better long-term results.

Research indicates that a reduction of about 1 mmHg in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure occurs for every 2.2 pounds of weight loss. Based on this, losing just 5-10% of your weight can produce clinically significant improvement in health.

A 2021 American Heart Association scientific statement published in the journal Hypertension reaffirmed that weight loss is a cornerstone of hypertension prevention and treatment. Managing your weight is one of the most impactful steps you can take for your long-term cardiovascular health, and CONCI is here to help you on your journey to better health!

20 years ago, Tanya H. was a patient at CONCI where she lost 80 pounds by following a very low-calorie diet. She kept the weight off for 3 years, but as she fell back into old habits, the weight crept back. Eating out frequently, not exercising, and her love for Southern cooking all contributed to her return to an unhealthy weight. Now in her 50’s, Tanya was facing health issues. In addition to high blood pressure and high cholesterol, her diabetes was not well controlled. Her A1c level was extremely elevated at 12.3. Having also seen her mother struggle with kidney failure and dialysis, Tanya was motivated to get back to better health through weight loss. She had great results with the help of CONCI 20 years ago, so she returned for their guidance and support once again.

In July 2025 Tanya started Numetra®, a very low-calorie meal replacement program. She stayed compliant for the duration of her weight loss, not even deviating on Thanksgiving Day, and lost a total of 43 pounds in 5 months. Weight loss has made a huge improvement in Tanya’s health. Most notably, her diabetes is now in great control. Her A1c dropped from 12.3 to 5.6! What a difference weight loss can make! In addition, Tanya dropped her visceral fat level from 21 to 12. Visceral fat is the most unhealthy form of fat, so improving this score indicates a major step towards better health. Furthermore, her weight loss has also brought an improvement in her breathing and mobility.

Tanya has reached her goal but she isn’t finished with CONCI. She continues to stay connected for accountability purposes, attending a weekly support group led by a registered dietitian.
