Our medical providers on staff oversee our Medical Weight-loss Program. We monitor the safety of your weight loss program using an easy injectable treatment that is given once weekly with a tiny shot. While everyone is different, most patients on this peptide injectable treatment have been able to lose 15-30% of their starting body weight in 6 - 12 months.

About Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s) that safely kick-starts your metabolic health. Semaglutide is a hormone peptide molecule that is the same as a naturally occurring one we have in our body. It acts on appetite centers in the brain and in the gut, producing feelings of satiety or feeling full. Semaglutide helps regulate insulin and blood sugar levels which is beneficial for your metabolism.
Tiered-up Dosing Schedule for Semaglutide every 4 Weeks
Semaglutide is given to patients on a titrated or tiered-up amount of dosing each month (or more specifically each 4 weeks of dosing) such as .25 mg, .5 mg, 1.0 mg etc. up to 2.4 mg. This is in order to get your body used to the medication slowly and to minimize side effects that can occur. Depending on how you tolerate the Semaglutide and how your weight loss results are progressing, you may or may not reach the maximum dosing schedule.
Side effects that are possible with Semaglutide include:
Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, tiredness, dizziness, or constipation.
Not everyone will experience these side effects. If they do occur, the patient can choose to stay at the previous lower dose until they get used to it. Symptoms are also known to lessens as you continue to use Semaglutide. If any of these effects last or get worse, then you would need to tell your provider right away. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Persons on Semaglutide are Able to Make Healthier Nutritional Choices
Over time, the Semaglutide is known to take away the "hunger/food noise" that we all experience and persons on the Medical Weight Loss Program say they are better able to make healthy nutritional choices in their regular feeding plans. This is hoped to get you in the habit of a healthy lifestyle so that once you reach your ideal weight and are able to stop taking the Semaglutide injections, you are better equipped to sustain the weight loss that you have achieved.
About Tirzepatide for Weight Loss
Tirzepatide is another peptide injectable treatment that is gaining in popularity. It takes a unique approach to weight loss by having two mechanisms of action instead of one. This dual action peptide amplifies the effect on insulin release and suppresses glucagon, leading to improved blood sugar control. Additionally, it is observed that the combination of GIP and GLP-1 hormones enhances the satiety response, making it even more effective for weight loss.
Considerations for Choosing:
When considering Semaglutide versus Tirzepatide for weight loss, several factors come into play. Individual patient preferences based on their desire to lose weight slower or faster, tolerance of the two medications with potential differences in side effect profiles, and lastly the cost of each type of treatment could impact your decision-making process. Tirzepatide does cost more than Semaglutide. As well, some patients do experience a loss of energy on Semaglutide whereas this side effect may not be experienced while taking Tirzepatide.
