Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics the GLP-1 hormone and makes you feel less hungry.

When you eat, your digestive tract releases the GLP-1 hormone, prompting the body to create more insulin. It can also send fullness signals to the brain.

• Appetite suppressant
• Reduction of cardiovascular event risk

Moderate side effects of tirzepatide and semaglutide can include:

• constipation or diarrhea
• upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting
• headaches
• abdominal pain
• fatigue
• low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

We take an approach of careful dosing, side effect monitoring, education, and utilizing

supportive medications to lessen side effects associated with these medications. 

Weekly dosing is typical, with occasional adjustments and titration to meet client's needs.

Target weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week is ideal for long-term management and avoidance of rebound weight gain. Results may vary depending on multiple variables including health status, physical activity, and adherence to program.
