Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog that regulates appetite and food intake. It replicates a hormone naturally released after eating, signaling the brain to reduce hunger.

By impacting these major drivers of obesity, semaglutide empowers considerable weight loss through reduced calorie intake. It also regulates blood sugar levels and lowers risk factors for diabetes and heart disease significantly.
The FDA has approved semaglutide for ongoing treatment of chronic overweight and obesity based on very strong clinical evidence from major studies. These showed average losses of 17-19% in participants getting semaglutide vs. placebo over 16-20 months.
To complement semaglutide treatment, we offer:
Our goal is equipping patients with knowledge, skills and resources for sustainable success. We want to instill healthy eating habits, activity routines and a growth mindset that support keeping weight off long-term.
We also screen for and address any contributing conditions, like thyroid dysfunction, stress, sleep apnea or hormone deficiencies. Treating obesity requires a broad management plan.
The first step in our medically supervised weight loss treatment is an initial consultation. We will:
If cleared to start, we provide detailed training on properly administering the semaglutide self-injections. Most patients find them simple to perform and tolerate them very well. Some experience mild nausea, vomiting or diarrhea initially that resolves.
We closely monitor progress through weekly weigh-ins and routine follow-up visits. As needed, we modify and enhance nutrition, activity and behavioral plans to optimize results. Our exceptional coaching promotes motivation and adherence.
With our intensive medical and lifestyle interventions centered around semaglutide, patients routinely lose 10-15% or more of their starting weight over 6 months. Many are able to discontinue semaglutide after achieving targets without regaining.
