ABOUT SEMAGLUTIDE INJECTIONS
Semaglutide (generic for Ozempic and Wegovy) is in the group of weight loss medications known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which impact the body’s hormone response to food intake.
The most well know impact of GLP-1 drugs is their impact on insulin as they were originally created and used to help patients with diabetes. When we eat, insulin is naturally released to help transfer the sugar in our bloodstream into our cells so our body can use it as energy. Semaglutide increases the amount of insulin released, helping decrease blood sugar levels.
Semaglutide also slows your digestion so that food leaves the stomach more slowly. With slower emptying, you are left feeling full longer. This helps decrease your overall caloric intake.
Additionally, Semaglutide helps with cravings! It does so by decreasing our anticipatory food reward system and increasing our consummatory reward system. Meaning you get less pleasure thinking about food and on the first bite feel more satisfied than you did before. The result is less food temptation and feeling satisfied with smaller portions.
What To Expect
1. Initial Consultation
In an initial complimentary consultation with one of our medical providers, we will review your medical history, weight loss and/or management goals, perform a health exam and propose a preliminary treatment plan. If you choose to move forward, lab work will be referred out.
2. Medical Clearance
Once our team receives and reviews your lab work, our medical providers will determine if we can move forward with the Semaglutide injections and if any changes to your preliminary treatment plan must be made. A team member will contact you to schedule your initial in-office injection. The day you begin injections you will enroll into a monthly subscription plan for treatment that includes medical oversight and the medication (lab work not included).
3. Medical Oversight
Over the course of your treatment, your medical provider will have regular check-ins with you to monitor your progress and provide medical oversight. This includes in-person evaluations where your vital signs will be monitored. Blood work will be required at least annually but may be required more frequently if abnormal or unexpected changes in your health or weight occur. Failure to complete the required bloodwork will result in a pause in your subscription, medication supply, and medical oversight.
4. Weekly Injections
Weekly injections of Semaglutide are required to stay on track until treatment is complete. For the first 4 weeks, these injections will be done in the office to monitor your progress and manage any side effects. Following the first 4 weeks, if you wish to self-inject in the comfort of your home on your own time, we will have the medication sent directly to you.

Is It Right For Me?
Weight loss is complicated and has many contributing factors. Many people “yo-yo” between diets and exercise plans only to be discouraged by their lack of results. Diet and exercise alone are not the full picture for many adults. The way that each individual stores fat is based on genetics and even with a healthy lifestyle we can be left with stubborn weight that doesn’t budge. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, Semaglutide can help get rid of unwanted weight and keep it off.
Semaglutide is also a helpful tool to help jump start your weight loss journey. Many individuals struggling with obesity feel stuck as they have difficulty with exercise due to weight related issues – joint pain, limited mobility, breathing difficulties, etc. Semaglutide can help with initial weight loss which can help alleviate these symptoms. With these obstacles removed your body, is no longer hindered from exercising, and it is more feasible to start an active and healthy lifestyle. Imagine the weight literally being lifted!
