Semaglutide in Office Weight Loss Program

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the action of the body’s natural glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone. By regulating appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and slowing gastric emptying, semaglutide effectively:

• Reduces hunger and caloric intake.
• Improves blood sugar control.
• Promotes sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

We encourage all clients to have a nutrition plan and exercise regimen in place prior to considering a GLP-1 receptor agonist, as this prepares the body to maintain muscle mass throughout treatment and proper intake of essential vitamins/minerals and proteins as the Semaglutide regimen takes effect.

You should avoid Semaglutide if you:

• Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
• Are breastfeeding/pregnant
• Have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
• Have a known allergy to semaglutide.

Semaglutide in office injections may curb appetite and change the cravings you experience on a day to day basis. 

You will be seen in office once weekly to receive your injection by one of our nurse providers, starting with 4 weeks of preparatory “loading doses”. Some common side effects of Semaglutide include:

-Nausea

-GI Upset

-Diarrhea

-Constipation

-Fatigue

-Burping/Flatulence
