FOCUS ON MEDICATION: SEMAGLUTIDE AND BEYOND
Our weight loss program often includes the use of Semaglutide, especially when lifestyle changes alone aren’t sufficient. This FDA-approved medication has been a game-changer in the field of weight loss, effectively reducing hunger and leading to significant weight loss. It’s a valuable tool in our arsenal of treatment options, offering a new level of effectiveness in medical weight loss.
1. Semaglutide
Initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has shown promising results in weight management. The drug works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain regulating appetite, thus reducing hunger. Clinical trials have shown that, in combination with lifestyle changes, Semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss, making it a valuable tool in the arsenal of medical weight loss solutions.
2. Phentermine
One of the most commonly prescribed weight loss medications, Phentermine works by decreasing appetite and increasing energy expenditure. It's a short-term solution, usually prescribed for a few weeks, for people who are significantly overweight and have failed to achieve desired results with diet and exercise alone. However, it's not suitable for everyone and can have side effects, so it's essential to use it under the strict supervision of a medical professional.
3. Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is an emerging medication that shows promise in the realm of weight management. Like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide was initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes but has demonstrated potential for aiding in weight loss. It operates by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels and can also suppress appetite. Clinical trials have shown that, in combination with lifestyle modifications, Tirzepatide can lead to significant weight loss, making it an exciting option for those struggling with obesity. Its dual action on blood sugar control and weight management could offer a novel approach for individuals looking to achieve and maintain a healthier weight under medical supervision.
WHO IS THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS?
Medical weight loss isn’t a solution for everyone. It’s ideal for individuals who:
High BMI
Suitable for those with a BMI of 30 or above, signifying obesity, or a BMI of 27 or higher if accompanied by health complications like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Weight Loss Struggles
Ideal for individuals who have tried conventional weight loss methods with limited success, encountering obstacles such as plateaus or recurrent weight gain.
Structured Support
Beneficial for those who thrive in a structured environment, appreciating regular monitoring and support provided by medical programs.
Health Challenges
Appropriate for individuals facing health conditions that make weight loss more challenging, such as hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, or medications causing weight gain.
Long-Term Commitment
Effective results require a dedicated commitment to sustainable lifestyle changes, with medication-based interventions like Semaglutide assisting in the journey toward lasting transformation.
Savings & Benefits
On average how much would you say you are spending on food every month? (This would include going out to dinner, beverages, etc.)
This medicine is a great money saver because it allows you to cut your food intake by half and you still experience the feeling of being full.
We have also seen patients' other health conditions improve after taking this medication consistently. Many are able to reduce or cut out other medications after they've lost the weight. And that not only saves them money, but it also improves their quality of life!

Is Medical Weight Loss Covered By Insurance?
Most insurance companies won’t cover the costs of weight loss treatments. This can be frustrating, especially when you’re not sure about the quality of the treatment and have to pay for it all by yourself.
This is because many insurers see weight loss as a personal choice, and so they don’t include it in their regular coverage plans.
This means the responsibility to pay falls on you.
Every amount you spend affects your personal savings. That’s why it’s vital to find an efficient way to achieve your weight loss goals without breaking the bank.
Fortunately, with the recent approval from the FDA for a new class of weight-loss medicine, finding an affordable and effective option has become easier than before!
How Does Semaglutide Work
- Brain: It helps regulate appetite and cravings
- Stomach: It delays gastric emptying
- Pancreas: It works by helping the pancreas release the right
amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. - Liver: It Reduces the production of glucose which lowers blood sugar levels.
Aside from weight loss, patients taking Semaglutide have also seen a decreased risk of certain conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, joint pain, and reduced blood pressure.
What is the 80/20 Rule For Healthy Living
When it comes to weight loss, many believe in the 80/20 rule: 80% of your results come from your diet, and 20% come from exercise. Keeping this in mind, even though this medication doesn’t mandate rigorous workouts or a super strict diet, it’s essential to prioritize healthy eating. Be cautious of consuming too many carbs and foods high in sugar. Aim to make good dietary choices for 80% of the time, and remember that exercise, though making up 20%, is still important. Additionally, it’s beneficial to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Doing so will assist in flushing out fats and in minimizing potential side effects, like headaches.
How Do I Inject Semaglutide?
- Your health care provider can help you choose the injection site that is best for you
- You may inject into your upper legs (front of the thighs) or lower stomach (keep 2 inches away from your belly button)
- Other patients prefer to administer the injection in the upper arm
- Do not inject into an area where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Avoid injecting into areas with scars or stretch marks
- You may inject in the same body area each week, but make sure it is not in the same spot each time
Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab or soap and water. Do not touch the injection site after cleaning.
What is Semaglutide/GLP-1?
- Semaglutide (sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus) is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 Diabetes and as an anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management.
- Semaglutide is a modified molecule our bodies make sometimes called GLP1 (Glucagon Like Peptide). It’s a protein made in the intestine and results in decreased blood sugars and appetite. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than minutes.
The combination of these actions leads to glucose homeostasis which triggers the burning of fat storage for energy.
The results from taking this medication are dramatic and life changing!
Some Doctors are calling it: “A GASTRIC BYPASS IN A BOTTLE”
How much weight can I lose with Semaglutide?
Over the course of the program patients can expect to lose up to an average of 20% of their body weight. So if a patient has a starting weight of 230 pounds they can expect to lose 53 pounds with a new weight of 177lbs over the course of a year.
Depending on how much weight you want or need to lose most clients will stay on the medication for 6-12 months just to make sure they can accomplish their goals.
