WEIGHT WELLNESS
with SEMAGLUTIDE

Join our medically-managed
weight loss program

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in the widely talked about medication Ozempic®. Studies show that patients on Semaglutide therapy typically lose 9.6-17.4% of initial body weight by week 68, and improve cardiometabolic and psychosocial health. There is no other weight loss drug on the market that compares.

Semaglutide isn't just a medication; it's a lifestyle change. If you have more than 15+ more pounds to lose and want supportive, customized care from medical professionals to help quiet the food noise, reduce your appetite, and boost your self-confidence and overall health, then our program could be a good fit for you.

Semaglutide acts like GLP-1, a gut hormone, to decrease your blood sugar (by increasing insulin production and decreasing glucagon synthesis), delay food passing from stomach to intestines, and decreases hunger by signaling to your brain that you’re full.

How it works

Patients experience better cardiovascular health, joint protection, mood, immune system, as well as sleep and energy levels. There is also a decreased rate of obesity related cancers (breast, colorectal, endometrial, kidney, and liver.)

Frequently asked questions

  • Potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, constipation, mild abdominal pain, acid reflux, site reactions, fatigue, headaches, alcohol intolerance, mood changes, increased heart rate, Thyroid medullary c-cell caner, diabetic retinopathy, and gastroparesis.

    The most serious side effects may include severe abdominal pain that may be inflammation of the pancreas (or pancreatitis) or gallbladder, hypersensitivity, and hypoglycemia.

    Some aesthetic effects may include:

    · Facial fat loss, as you are losing weight throughout your body

    · Loss of muscle mass. Strength training and weightlifting are extremely important to minimizing loss of muscle mass.

    · Hair loss, which is very common when you lose weight.

    Discuss with your clinician if you’re starting to see changes or want to discuss strategies to prevent hair loss, facial thinning, and skin changes.

  • Managing nausea

    Nausea and constipation are the most common side effects.

    · Do not over eat. Stop eating when you reach satiety, the body's first signal of satisfaction.

    · Eat foods that contain water like soup and gelatin.

    · Eat slowly with smaller portions.

    · Small meals throughout the day (sip on a protein shake)

    · Eat bland low-fat foods like crackers toast and rice.

    · Avoid lying down after eating.

    · Stay hydrated: Ginger, Chamomile or Peppermint tea.

    For managing other side effects, you can view our detailed handbook here.

  • Refined grains

    Refined grains are stripped of their nutrient and fiber-rich parts. These types of grains are more likely to raise and drop your blood sugar levels quickly. Spiking and dropping blood sugars will lead to increased cravings and feelings of hunger. White bagels, flour tortillas, white bread, and white rice are just a few examples of refined grains to avoid.

    Foods with added sugars

    Sugar is added to foods that might otherwise seem healthy, like yogurt, dried fruit, nutrition bars, cereal and granola. Eat less carbs and focus on eating protein-rich whole foods and vegetables.

    Fried foods

    GLP-1 medications may cause nausea and upset stomach, especially as your body is getting used to them. Try avoiding fried foods, especially those prepared with peanut oil. If you have an air fryer, that will be your best friend!

    Sugary drinks

    Sugary beverages like sodas and juices are unnecessary added sugars. Limit sweetened teas, sugary coffee drinks, and energy drinks which are very high in added sugar. If you enjoy fruit smoothies, make sure to read the label for sugar content.

    Alcohol

    Alcohol isn’t forbidden, but be cautious! It can lower your blood sugar by reducing the amount of sugar released by your liver. Most people lose the craving to drink when on Semaglutide. Remember you are emptying your stomach more slowly, therefore processing alcohol slower.

    If you choose to drink alcohol, then try to eat a meal while you drink, drink SLOWLY, and try to avoid having more than one drink a day for women and more than two drinks a day for men.
