Tips to Stay on Track during Travel

Summer is the most popular time to travel. Wherever you’re headed on vacation, it can be tricky to keep up with health progress while on a trip. Check out these tips to help you stay on track while out of your normal routine.

Commit

No matter where you’re at in your health journey, make sure to commit (or recommit) to reaching your goals during this period. Traveling can often make it more difficult to maintain your healthy habits, but it’s important to decide beforehand that you’re going to stick to your guns and make smart decisions, even when it gets hard.

Travel can be tough on your health habits, but these tips might make it a bit more manageable.

Make a plan

Look over your travel itinerary and where you’re staying. Will there be time available to workout? Will there be workout equipment? What will the food situation look like? Think ahead about obstacles that might prohibit you from your wellness habits, how you can work around these, what your non-negotiables are, and what you’ll prioritize.

Pack

If your hotel has a full gym, great! If your Airbnb barely fits a bed, you might need to pack a little extra or find a gym nearby. Many gyms offer a free trial period without having to commit to a long-term pass, but if you’re short on time, throw a jump rope or resistance bands in your suitcase. If you don’t have tons of space indoors to use them, you can find an open area outdoors. 

There are also tons of body-weight video options online and if you ever need a mat, an extra towel can always suffice. Of course, going for a walk or jog is another great way to move your body which doesn’t require much equipment. Plus, you can always use your location to your advantage for a little activity. If you’re in Hawaii, do a shoreline swim before laying out. If you’re in Paris, see how many steps you can get in each day. If you’re in Switzerland, take a hike to get the blood pumping. Whatever you decide to do, remember to pack workout clothes so you’re prepared.

When traveling, focus on getting movement in each day and prioritize protein, whole foods, and drinking water.

Nutrition

Vacation can really test nutrition habits, but don’t stress. First off, know it’s okay to not be perfect in your nutritional health. Traveling is often a time to splurge a bit with food. Besides, a trip is a trip for a reason; it’s not constant, so indulging a bit more than usual is understandable. However, this doesn’t mean go crazy and live it up with a sugar-only diet for a week.

Put an emphasis on protein, whole foods, and hydration. This “triple threat” will help to maintain a bit more balance in your system and fill you up with better options. For instance, it’ll be better to eat your burger meat, salad, and a full glass of water first at the family reunion barbeque, rather than filling up on potato chips and soda.

Enjoy

Yes, it’s important to be conscious of what you’re consuming and why you’re consuming it, but it’s also alright to enjoy. Don’t let food or fitness noise take over your trip. Instead, proceed with caution and confidence. Listen to your body and do what you can, where you can. Safe travels!

Shed is fully committed to supporting your weight-loss journey. We continue to offer a range of effective weight-loss medications and are excited to launch alternative options to help you reach your goals. Here’s how Shed is managing the FDA’s recent communication regarding access to Compounded Semaglutide Injections:

What’s Happening with Compounded Semaglutide?

As of today, your medication subscription, including dosage and pricing, will remain unchanged for at minimum the next 90 days. This is happening, because the FDA recently updated the status of semaglutide on the shortage list as “resolved.” Comparable to the removal of tirzepatide from the shortage list, there is currently legal action against the FDA. We anticipate that semaglutide will continue to be available while this legal action takes place.

Your Treatment Options

We understand how important your health is and are here to help you transition smoothly to other proven weight-loss medications in the meantime. Here are other weight-loss medication options:

  • Injectable Compounded Tirzepatide: Similar to semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide will provide you with similar benefits and results with an easy, once-weekly injection.
  • Semaglutide Liquid Drops: Enjoy the benefits of GLP-1 medication without needles, thanks to our compounded oral semaglutide.
  • Tirzepatide Liquid Drops: Enjoy the benefits of tirzepatide without needles, thanks to our compounded oral tirzepatide. These will continue to be available indefinitely and are a great alternative to injectable tirzepatide.
  • Name-Brand Medications: We now offer name-brand medications including Mounjaro®, Wegovy®, and Ozempic®.

As always, we promote a holistic approach to weight loss in order to better encourage long-lasting wellness. This means incorporating healthy nutritional, physical, mental, and sleep habits to nurture a lifetime of longevity. These habits, taught and supported in our available Health Coaching program, in conjunction with weight-loss medication, can aid those looking to reach their health goals.

Liquid Semaglutide Drops provide an easy, convenient way to take weight-loss medication without needles.

How to Switch Your Treatment

Please note you do not need to transition from your compounded semaglutide injections today. We do encourage you to consider what your preference will be. Switching is simple and we’re here to help every step of the way. There are two simple ways to go about this:

  • Schedule a follow-up visit with a licensed provider from your Patient Portal. Navigate to the “Schedule” tab along the top menu and book a time to discuss a program change.
  • Reach out to the Care Team by emailing support@shedrx.com or texting them at 833-658-7433 to request a program change.

FAQs:

Why is semaglutide being phased out?

The FDA has updated guidelines which impact the availability of compounded semaglutide. All companies that currently offer compounded semaglutide are being required to phase out the availability of the drug to their consumers.

Will I still get results with other options?

Yes! You may anticipate similar results with alternative options.

How long do I have to make the switch?

We would encourage you to explore our alternative medication options within the next 2-3 months to ensure the continuity of your care.
