Semaglutide is a game changer in the world of weight loss! This medication works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which plays a crucial role in regulating appetite. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, it helps to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness after meals. This means fewer cravings and a greater ability to stick to a healthy eating plan and shed those extra pounds effectively and sustainably.
You do not have to be obese to be a candidate for Semaglutide. Most adults who are wanting to lose weight and do not have a history of thyroid cancer or pancreatitis are candidates for Semaglutide.
You will meet with a Nurse Practitioner for your initial appointment.
Your labs will be drawn at this appointment if you are determined to be a candidate for Semaglutide.
Labs will typically be processed and reviewed within 1-2 business days.
Semaglutide will then be delivered to your home directly from the pharmacy as quickly as the next business day.
You will be seen for follow up appointments and lab work as determined by your provider.
Treatment is just one weekly injection that you can do at home.
