How the Medication Works
Giving you the how, what, when and why of the newest weight loss doctor-prescribed medicine.
Medicine You Can Count On
The doctor-prescribed, all-natural, weekly treatment is a custom-blended medication that is individually formulated for each patient, called Semaglutide or GLP-1. Every time we eat, a specific hormone is automatically released in our body that gives a feeling of fullness. The medicine targets the brain and mimics that full feeling, plus reduces appetite, slows stomach emptying, and ultimately decreases your caloric intake.
Your body also has a “set point” which is the number on the scale your weight normally hovers around. The treatment plan creates a new, lower set point after you lose your weight goal amount.
Approximately, 70% of American adults are obese or overweight. Being obese or overweight is a serious health issue associated with some leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and is linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer. Losing 5% to 10% of body weight through diet and exercise has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in adult patients with obesity or overweight.
WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog. GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar.
Studies show that semaglutide reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings in addition to improving glycemic control.
SURGICAL RESULTS WITHOUT SURGERY
Doctors call it a liquid gastric bypass!
Taken once a week, this medication allows patients to eat less while still feeling full...and still getting their recommended daily nutrition.
The weight literally melts off.
Our treatment plan costs considerably less than the popular food replacement weight loss programs...and our patients see huge monthly savings at the grocery store and restaurants as their appetite greatly diminishes.
The prescription refill is picked up each month at our local clinic.
