Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. More recently, it has shown great promise as an obesity treatment and received FDA approval for chronic weight management.
As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, semaglutide helps regulate blood sugar levels while also suppressing appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness. This makes it an extremely useful weight loss tool for the right patients.
When used specifically for weight reduction, semaglutide is taken as a weekly injection just under the skin. Treatment normally continues for at least 12 months to promote substantial, sustained weight loss augmented by lifestyle modifications.
How does semaglutide stimulate weight loss? The medication activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain which:
Together, these effects enable easier compliance with diet and exercise changes needed for healthy, lasting fat reduction.
Here at Balance & Renew Clinic in Savannah, we provide customized semaglutide plans to help patients lose excess body weight and meet their body goals through expert medical guidance.
Our specialized weight loss team first verifies treatment appropriateness based on:
Once deemed an eligible candidate, we collaborate to set reasonable weight loss goals based on the patient’s unique physiology and needs.
Our evidence-based semaglutide regimen entails:
Weight Loss Power
In clinical trials, semaglutide has been game-changing for weight reduction, with average losses of 12-15% in 68 weeks across treated groups. For someone weighing 250 pounds, this equates to shedding 30-38 pounds - results unmatched by other medications or interventions.
Beyond impressive fat reduction, semaglutide favorably impacts waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipids like cholesterol and markers of liver health to substantially cut cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk.
Convenience
Unlike intensive in-hospital programs, our customized semaglutide regimen allows patients to lose weight from home with once-weekly injections. This minimizes disruption to daily routines.
Lasting Effects
Most anti-obesity medications demonstrate weight regain after discontinuation. However, one study showed ~90% of semaglutide-induced loss was still maintained a whole year after stopping treatment. This gives patients more time to cement healthy lifestyle habits that promote keeping weight off long-term.
Left unchecked, excess weight often worsens over time despite people’s best efforts due to complex physiological factors. The ensuing health decline reduces quality and length of life.
By accurately diagnosing weight-related issues then rapidly implementing effective solutions like our semaglutide protocol, we help patients reclaim their vitality and longevity.
Our compassionate team realizes the sensitivities surrounding weight and provides judgement-free care with realistic expectations tailored to each person. We find obesity is not due to lack of willpower but the consequence of multiple genetic and environmental influences.
With cutting-edge prescription aids and sound medical advice, even the most stubborn weight problems can be overcome. We encourage anyone struggling with non-progressing or regained weight to undergo assessment for semaglutide therapy.
Semaglutide was originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, but researchers discovered it also caused significant weight loss as a side effect. Further studies found that non-diabetic people taking semaglutide lost on average 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks compared to placebo.
