Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps support weight loss by mimicking a natural hormone involved in appetite, blood sugar regulation, and digestion. It can help reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and support healthier eating patterns when used as part of our medically-supervised program.
Semaglutide works by helping regulate appetite signals, slowing digestion, and supporting better blood sugar control. Many clients find they feel full sooner, experience fewer cravings, and are able to make more intentional food choices.
Common Questions
Some people notice appetite changes within the first few weeks, while weight loss typically becomes more noticeable over several weeks to a few months. Results vary based on dosage, consistency, nutrition, activity level, metabolism, and individual health factors.
Semaglutide is typically given as a subcutaneous injection, meaning it is injected under the skin. Common injection areas include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your care team will provide clear instructions so you feel comfortable and confident administering it safely.
Semaglutide is commonly administered once weekly, but your exact schedule and dose should always be determined by your clinician. Your provider may gradually adjust your dose over time to help your body adapt and minimize side effects.
In clinical studies, semaglutide led to an average 10-15% reduction in body weight over about one year. Individual results vary.
Semaglutide has been studied extensively and FDA-approved semaglutide products include detailed prescribing information regarding benefits, risks, contraindications, and side effects. It may not be appropriate for everyone, including people with certain personal or family medical histories. At Essence Wellness, your treatment is supervised by a clinician to help determine whether it is appropriate for you.
The most common side effects are digestive and may include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, heartburn, or decreased appetite. These effects are often temporary and may improve as your body adjusts. Your care team can help with proactive side-effect management when needed.
