Medically Supervised Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
It can be difficult to reduce unwanted fat through traditional diet and exercise. Semaglutide treatment provides an additional 15 to 20 percent reduction in body weight in comparison to a 2 to 3 percent reduction in body weight when using traditional diet and exercise alone.
Semaglutide is a small protein or peptide that mimics the function of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates appetite within the brain. Semaglutide is a FDA- approved medication used to treat diabetes (Ozempic) and aid in weight loss (Wegovy). Semaglutide for weight loss slows the emptying of the stomach by binding to the receptors that are located in the lining of the stomach. The slower emptying of the stomach sends a signal of fullness to the brain. This helps reduce food intake and decreases appetite resulting in weight loss.
Research demonstrates a key part of successfully completing any weight loss program is meeting with your health professional on a weekly basis and maintaining a personalized food and weight loss journal.
Most individuals, on average, can expect to loose up to 30 pounds in the first three months of treatment, and 50 pounds after 6 months without dramatically altering their lifestyle. While exercise is not mandatory with this program, we recommend you start to incorporate an exercise regime into your lifestyle for long term benefits. Walking can be a perfect way to start. Once at a healthy weight, it is the your responsibility to continue a lifestyle that is beneficial to their weight loss goals. This includes maintaining a health focused diet and exercise regimen.
Semaglutide works well for all patients with varying BMI, age, and ethnicity. Semaglutide should be avoided in Individuals suffering from pre-existing health conditions such as pancreatitis, decreased kidney function, low blood sugar, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, gallbladder disease, and diabetic retinopathy.
Every individual is monitored by a medical professional weekly for their safety. Before you start the Semaglutide weight loss plan, a physical exam and bloodwork is required to determine your suitability for the program. Upon approval, Semaglutide is administered once weekly by your healthcare provider starting with a low dosage (0.25mg), gradually rising monthly to around 2.4mg per week. During the Semaglutide weight loss program a vitamin B12 or a lipotropic injection may be administered weekly as well to improve metabolism.
