Understanding Semaglutide

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes. It functions as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, mimicking the GLP-1 hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. By enhancing feelings of fullness and reducing hunger, Semaglutide facilitates significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

How Semaglutide Aids Weight Loss

Semaglutide assists in weight loss through several mechanisms:

  • Appetite Suppression: It interacts with brain receptors to decrease hunger, leading to reduced calorie intake.
  • Delayed Gastric Emptying: Slowing stomach emptying prolongs satiety after meals, helping control appetite.
  • Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Enhancing insulin response aids in better blood sugar control, which is crucial for weight management.
  • Clinical studies have demonstrated that individuals using Semaglutide, alongside lifestyle modifications, experienced significant weight loss compared to those employing lifestyle changes alone.

Benefits of Semaglutide Weight Loss Plans

  • Effective Weight Reduction: Clinical trials indicate that Semaglutide can lead to substantial weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
  • Cardiovascular Health Improvement: Weight loss achieved with Semaglutide may reduce the risk of heart disease and related conditions.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Achieving a healthier weight can boost energy levels, mobility, and overall well-being.

Your Semaglutide Weight Loss Plan

Initial Consultation

Our healthcare professionals will assess your medical history, current health status, and weight loss objectives to determine if Semaglutide is suitable for you.

Personalized Plan Development

We create a tailored weight loss plan that includes Semaglutide injections, nutritional guidance, and an exercise regimen.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support

Regular follow-up appointments ensure the treatment’s effectiveness and allow for necessary adjustments.

Potential Side Effects

While Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation.
  • Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar levels, particularly when combined with other diabetes medications.
  • Injection Site Reactions: Redness or discomfort at the injection site.
  • Our medical team will discuss potential side effects and strategies to manage them during your consultation.

Is Semaglutide Right for You?

Semaglutide is typically recommended for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or those with a BMI of 27 or higher accompanied by weight-related health issues such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. A thorough medical evaluation will help determine if this treatment aligns with your weight loss goals.

GLP-1 Medication FAQs

What do GLP-1 and GIP stand for?

Glucagon-like Peptide 1 and Glucose Dependent Insulinotropic Peptide

What are GLP-1 and GIP?

GLP-1 and GIP are naturally occurring gut hormones that help us feel full and suppress our appetite to eat.

How quickly do GLP-1 drugs start working?

GLP-1 drugs typically start to exert their effects within the first few days to weeks of treatment. Many people experience improvements in blood sugar control and may notice a reduction in post-meal glucose spikes relatively quickly after starting treatment. However, it may take several weeks to months to achieve optimal results with GLP-1 treatment.

Can GLP-1 drugs be used in combination with other diabetes medications?

Yes, GLP-1 drugs are often used in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin or insulin. Combining therapies can enhance their effectiveness and may be particularly beneficial for individuals who require additional blood sugar control beyond what can be achieved with one medication alone.

Does your compounded semaglutide contain salts as a base?

No

How much weight can I expect to lose on GLP-1?

Semaglutide: 15-20% of body weight
Tirzepatide: 20-25% of body weight

How long will GLP-1 last in my body?

The half-life of GLP-1 in the body is 7 days.

I have an upcoming medical procedure involving anesthesia. Should I stop my GLP-1 injections?

Yes; do not get your GLP-1 medication injected at least one week prior to your surgery or procedure, as there is a concern for slow stomach emptying time and risk of aspiration with anesthesia.

What’s the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Both are effective GLP-1 medications, but tirzepatide also activates another receptor GIP, or Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide. This dual action may contribute to its potentially greater weight loss effects and fewer reported side effects compared to semaglutide.

Can GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications cause low blood sugar?

GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications alone are not usually associated with low blood sugar (also known as hypoglycaemia). However, if used in combination with other diabetes medications that can lower blood sugar (such as insulin or sulfonylureas), there can be an increased risk.

When should I take a GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP?

Injectable GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIPs can be taken at any time of day – regardless of meals. They are taken once weekly and should be taken on the same day of the week, at roughly the same time of day if possible.

How long do I need to take the medication?

GLP-1 medications are typically used long-term for weight management. The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs and response. Our team will work with you to determine the optimal treatment duration.

Will I regain weight if I stop the medication?

Weight regain is common if the medication is discontinued. However, combining the medication with lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) can help maintain weight loss. We provide comprehensive support to help you maintain your results long-term.
