Weight Management/Wellness FAQs
-
Semaglutide is a prescription medication specifically compounded to assist with weight management. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Semaglutide can help adults achieve significant weight loss. It belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body.
This treatment works by regulating blood sugar levels after meals, stimulating insulin secretion, and slowing down the release of sugar into the bloodstream. By delaying stomach emptying, Semaglutide helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie consumption. Clinical studies have shown that weekly Semaglutide injections can lead to an average weight loss of 9-13% over a year when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

Semaglutide is administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and adjust the dosage as needed. Most patients begin to see weight loss after their dose has been increased one to two times, typically within a month. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.

Semaglutide may be an effective option for adults with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease. However, it is not recommended for everyone, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of pancreatitis, Type 1 diabetes, thyroid cancer, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or an allergy to Semaglutide or its ingredients. A medical consultation is required to determine if Semaglutide is the right treatment for you.
