Semaglutide is all the rage in weight loss right now, and you can find programs all over the internet. You may have heard it called Ozempic® or Wegovy®, but it’s all the same stuff. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that helps to reduce appetite and food cravings, improve insulin and glucose levels, and delay gastric emptying. It stimulates insulin secretion, reduces glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying, all of which help to lower blood glucose levels. It has often been used to aid in a person’s weight loss journey.
Semaglutide is actually something your body can naturally produce. For those who lack in semaglutide production or have tried out every other option for addressing weight loss, receiving semaglutide via prescription is an option. Unlike other products used for weight loss, semaglutide addresses the underlying physiological processes of weight gain and metabolic syndrome.
Unfortunately, semaglutide is being promoted as a quick “fix” for dropping some weight, along with lowering certain cardiovascular risk factors, such as A1C. So most programs include a basic consult (usually virtual) to establish the need, send you the injections, and simply monitor and maintain your dose until you’ve either achieved your weight-loss goal, or until you’re just tired of injecting yourself. Those programs are grossly inadequate. Many people do gain the weight back, because nothing lasting has changed.
Our program views semaglutide as a bridge to get you from where you are now to a healthier version of you, so that once you’ve crossed that bridge, you don’t need it anymore. And you shouldn’t be walking that bridge alone. We have a Functional Nutritionist who will help you address your core cardiometabolic issues so that you exit the bridge on solid ground, and stay there.
