How Does semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (or GLP-1) that targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. Your digestive tract releases this incretin hormone after you’ve eaten a meal, lowering your blood sugar by triggering insulin release to more efficiently manage blood sugar levels. Doing so helps control appetite, and patients taking Semaglutide for weight loss can lose up to one to two pounds per week. Diet and exercise is key to results, as maintaining healthy eating habits is necessary.
Personalized Dosing, Tailored to You
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols because no two bodies are exactly the same. Our Semaglutide and Tirzepatide programs are carefully customized for each patient.
We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your medical history, weight loss goals, and how your body responds to treatment. From there, we build an individualized dosing regimen designed specifically for you, adjusting as needed based on your progress, comfort, and results.
This personalized approach allows us to maximize effectiveness, minimize side effects, and support you in achieving sustainable, long-term success.
Semaglutide FAQ
The most common side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and headache. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are particularly common when starting treatment or during dose increases, but these symptoms typically improve over time for most patients. We’re here to help manage any symptoms you may experience. Many side effects can be alleviated with medication or simple lifestyle adjustments, such as staying hydrated, replenishing electrolytes, and making dietary changes. Our team is committed to supporting you every step of the way to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Your health and safety are our top priorities. As part of our program, we require blood work after your first 4 months and every 6 months thereafter.
This routine blood work allows our medical team to:
-
Monitor your overall health and ensure your body is responding well to the program.
-
Identify any potential deficiencies or changes that may arise.
-
Adjust your treatment plan as needed for optimal, long-term results.

Extensive studies on Semaglutide for weight loss show that most patients can expect to lose approximately 10-15% of their body weight, with some achieving even greater results. While individual outcomes may vary, the majority of patients begin to notice significant progress within 3 to 6 months.
Semaglutide will be prescribed as a weekly injection. Injections should be administered every 7 days. One injection should be administered on the same day each week. Semaglutide is started at a low dose that is gradually increased so it is important you use the medication exactly as directed. Do not increase any dose prior to 4 weeks.
No. Semaglutide is not covered by insurance for people who are not diabetic type 2. Fortunately, we are able to offer our compounded medication at a very competitive, low price.
