Weight Loss Program (Semaglutide)
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a revolutionary medical treatment designed to combat obesity and aid in weight loss. It is a small protein (peptide) that activates metabolic pathways in the body, effectively increasing blood sugar metabolism and reducing appetite. This remarkable medication mimics the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and managing body weight.
What can Semaglutide do for me?
Choosing Semaglutide for your medical weight loss journey can significantly improve your quality of life in various ways. Some of the key benefits of this treatment include:
- Substantial and sustainable weight loss
- Reduced appetite and increased feeling of fullness
- Targeted fat-burning, preserving muscle mass
- Improved blood sugar regulation
- Prevention of plaque buildup in blood vessels
- Enhanced insulin pathways and blood sugar levels
- Boosted energy levels and overall well-being
Unlike surgical weight loss procedures, this treatment offers a non-invasive option with minimal downtime. This means you can continue with your daily activities while undergoing treatment without the need for lengthy recovery periods.
What do we know about semaglutide side effects?
Since semaglutide slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, Gastrointestinal (GI) side effects tend to happen frequently. The most common are nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. You may experience these effects more strongly with the higher doses.
Additional common side effects can include:
- Constipation
- Stomach pain
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Indigestion
- Dizziness
- Bloating
- Burping
How is semaglutide dosed?
Semaglutide is injected once a week. It can be given at any time of day and taken with or without food. It is typically injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh.
Once you start taking the medication, our Nurse Practitioner will modify your dose based on your weight loss and will assess any side effects to help you achieve the best results.
Am I a candidate for Semaglutide?
If you have been struggling to lose weight through traditional diet and exercise alone, Semaglutide may be the solution you've been looking for. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for this treatment. It is essential to discuss your medical history, allergies, and any existing health conditions with our experienced medical team to determine if this treatment is the right fit for you. Generally, individuals with a history or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or type 1 diabetes are not eligible for treatment. Schedule an appointment to determine if you'd make a good candidate for Semaglutide and answer any questions you may have during a consultation.
