Semaglutide is a powerful prescription medication that can assist people in achieving their health and weight goals. It works by controlling hunger and insulin levels, among other benefits, therefore restricting the amount of food consumption and assisting in weight loss. This drug is administered once weekly and has been proven safe and reliable in clinical studies.

On average, our patients can typically lose 15-20% of their body weight while on the program. Individual results and outcomes are dependent on various factors, and some may experience more or less than our average. In clinical trials lasting 56 to 68 weeks, non-diabetic participants with obesity or overweight who used GLP-1 medications (Semaglutide) alongside diet and exercise lost an average up to 15% of their body weight. Comparatively, those who only followed a diet and exercise plan achieved weight loss of 3.5% to 2.4%.

The length of time on our weight loss program will vary, depending on many factors. Typically, patients will be on this medication for a minimum of 3–4 months, because that is a healthy amount of time to loseweight and build new, long-term lifestyle habits. We will work with each patient to determine the best planfor you and your goals.

We make this process simple and convenient for you. All you need to do is schedule a telehealth appointment with one of our medical providers who can evaluate your specific needs based on your health information, and if appropriate, prescribe treatment.

It is generally considered safe when taken as directed. As with any medication, there may be risks and side effects such as nausea, constipation, heartburn/reflux, GI disturbances, fatigue, allergic reactions, thyroid conditions, or low blood sugar among others. These can be discussed with our medical provider during the consultation. You will have to notify our medical provider of any medical conditions or pertinent family history as well.
