SEMAGLUTIDE
The medication, most famously marketed under the brand name Ozempic®, is a protective factor, minimizing the risk of developing life-altering and potentially deadly conditions such as heart disease, high blood sugar and stroke.
We recognize that obesity is a chronic disease regulated by our hormones. So, being overweight is not a matter of willpower. We have the tools, science, and support to make a real difference in your weight.
When combined with our famous B12 Skinny Shot and state of the art weight loss coaching, Semaglutide works to achieve an optimal body weight. Our multi-dimensional approach to weight loss works with patients–not against them. In this manner, we get actual and sustained results—no more yo-yo dieting; no more gaining back all the weight that may have been lost (and then some). This program combines clinically proven medication, coaching and accountability which is a very powerful combination.
- Weekly in-office Semaglutide injections. Semaglutide boosts the production of insulin. It decreases hunger by regulating the hormones responsible for body weight. This medication is appropriate for individuals aged 18 and older who are not pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have diabetes, speak with your primary care provider before taking Semaglutide.
- One-on-one meetings with our weight loss prescribers. Our program favorably differentiates from the slew of others by providing real, substantive support. Weekly check-ins with one of our skilled practitioners also provide accountability. The presence of accountability partners has been proven to increase the odds of achieving goals, be it shedding a few pounds or running the first 5K or marathon.
Frequently Asked Questions

Semaglutide mimics a hormone found in your body called GLP-1. This peptide therapy stimulates insulin production, sends signals to your brain telling you that you are full, and slows gastric emptying.
It will be different for each patient. You can safely expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week. For some, weight loss will be faster and some will be slower. Other factors such as diet and exercise will also affect weight.
Semaglutide was intended to be a maintenance medication for weight loss. We have broken the program down into 6 week increments for affordability for our clients. Most clients should expect to be on this medication for at least 3 months. This again will vary depending on side effects, weight loss goals, rate of weight loss, and financial resources.
No. We currently do not take insurance. We do offer financing through Cherry for our clients. Unlike getting this medication through insurance, our program offers added benefits such as customized B12 vitamin metabolism shots, and additional resources like accountability and weight loss coaching. We are also not subject to the same medication shortages that are common with this medication
We are utilizing a compounding pharmacy to prepare a generic form of the weight loss medication. You can think of this as when you go to the pharmacy and there is the brand name medication (for example Advil) and then the generic or pharmacy/grocery brand alternative (ibuprofen).
Due to the long half-life of this medication (6.8 days), semaglutide is intended to be injected once every 7 days. Due to side effects, medication should only be taken every 7 days according to the titration schedule provided.
Semaglutide is a revolutionary GLP-1 receptor agonist that was originally developed for patients with Type 2 diabetes, but when providers and pharmaceutical developers noticed how much weight their patients were losing, they began to study semaglutide exclusively for weight loss. A series of clinical trials known as the STEP clinical trials demonstrated that almost 90% of patients lost 5% or more of their body weight. There is no other weight loss drug on the market that compares. In June of 2022, the FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss.
Semaglutide acts like GLP-1 (a gut hormone) to:
• Increase insulin production
• Decrease glucagon synthesis
• Delay gastric emptying, Suppress hunger.
It signals your brain that you are full so you can lose weight without feeling like you are depriving yourself.
