FAQ

Semaglutide Questions We Hear Often

How does semaglutide help you lose weight?
Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable. Doses start low and increase over about 16 weeks. It slows gastric emptying to help you feel full sooner, supports insulin secretion, and acts on appetite centers in the brain.
Am I a candidate?
Typically BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes; or body fat ≥30% (female) or ≥25% (male). Your clinician confirms candidacy during evaluation.
How quickly will I see changes?
Results vary. We titrate doses gradually and pair medication with nutrition and habits, which typically supports steadier progress over time.
Do I need labs before starting?
Yes. We review your history and order labs to confirm candidacy and choose a safe starting plan.
Is semaglutide the same as tirzepatide?
No. Both involve GLP-1, but tirzepatide also targets GIP receptors. Your clinician helps select based on your profile, goals, and response.
Will I need to stay on it forever?
Not necessarily. We focus on sustainable behaviors so your plan can evolve. Your clinician will discuss maintenance options.
Is semaglutide FDA approved for weight loss?
Yes. In 2021 the FDA approved branded formulations containing semaglutide for chronic weight management. Your clinician will review which option is appropriate for you.

Each patient’s treatment plan is developed and monitored by a licensed medical provider to ensure safety, efficacy, and proper dosing.

GLP-1 Injections (Semaglutide) for effective weight loss.

  • Helpful for weight loss
  • Helps regulate food intake
  • Eat less, lose weight
  • Weekly Injections (at home or in-office available)
  • Approved for patients:
    • BMI over 30
    • BMI over 27
      • (Patients w/high blood pressure and cholesterol)
    • Body Fat % over 30 for females or 25% for males.

Semaglutide is a peptide that must be injected once a week. The dose starts low and increases over 16 weeks to reach the maximum dose for weight loss. The food you eat will remain in the stomach a little longer making you feel full sooner and limiting overeating. Insulin secretion will be optimized to carry sugar to the cell and not store fat. Semaglutide also mimics a hormone that targets areas of the brain to reduce appetite.

Candidates for Semaglutide have a BMI over 30, or over 27 with at least one related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes (Type 2). Or patients can have a body fat % of 30+ for females or 25+ for males. Clients who have tried other forms of weight loss or appetite suppressants may be great candidates for Semaglutide.
