Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss Treatment

Are you struggling to lose weight with conventional weight-loss methods? Are you finding it hard to manage hunger levels? You are not alone! According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (2022), over 70 percent of American adults are overweight or obese. This is more than two-thirds of U.S. adults. Obesity is a leading cause of death and chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer (NIDDKD, 2022). Studies have shown that a higher waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and BMI are associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

We are pleased to introduce a breakthrough treatment, semaglutide, that has changed the industry of weight loss management. The FDA has approved the use of semaglutide, a common diabetic medication, for the use of chronic weight management. Take control of your health! Burn fat and shed pounds without feeling hungry all the time and reduce your risk of health conditions or complications in the future!

What are Semaglutide injections?

Semaglutide is also known as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus, a diabetes medication used to control blood sugar. It may also reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and complications of type 2 diabetes. It is important to note that even though semaglutide treats diabetes, it is not insulin. It increases the insulin levels in the bloodstream to reduce the blood sugar levels of an individual who may have trouble regulating their blood sugar. Research has now shown that Semaglutide may help in the reduction of blood pressure levels, in turn helping to control hypertension.

Semaglutide for weight loss.

Semaglutide provides a way to reduce body weight, decrease hunger and cravings, and increase fat burn. It contains GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide) that stimulates insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon secretion which lowers blood sugar. This is a comprehensive approach with diet, exercise, and any other recommendation approved by our providers. The weight loss treatment improves your overall health and well-being, in general.

The simple subcutaneous fat injections are administered by yourself weekly or in our office. The injections are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults struggling with obesity. In addition, they are perfect treatments for anyone struggling with their weight and at least one weight-related condition, i.e., high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
