Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for treating type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. It works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. Semaglutide helps you feel fuller for longer after eating, reducing appetite and calorie intake.
When used specifically for weight loss and weight management, semaglutide is given once weekly by subcutaneous injection. It should always be prescribed by a medical professional and comes in ready-to-use pens for self-administration.
Semaglutide works to:
Patients using semaglutide for weight loss purposes often lose 5-15% of their body weight over 6 months to 1 year. This amount of weight loss can lead to considerable health improvements for patients who are overweight or have obesity.
Some of the key benefits of using compounded semaglutide shots for weight loss and chronic weight management include:
With proper medical guidance, semaglutide offers an effective pharmaceutical tool for losing weight and improving metabolic health.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Wegovy, a branded formulation of semaglutide, for chronic weight management in adults with:
Compounded semaglutide formulations can also be prescribed off-label for weight loss in some cases.
Patients with type 2 diabetes can benefit from improved blood sugar control and potential diabetes remission over the long term. Your doctor will help determine if semaglutide shots are appropriate based on your medical history and weight loss goals.
Here at Hormone Harmony Clinic in North Miami, we specialize in customized weight loss programs utilizing compounded Semaglutide injections. Our board-certified medical providers have extensive experience using innovative medications like Semaglutide to help patients lose weight safely and effectively.
We closely monitor patients to optimize their dosage, support healthy lifestyle changes, and avoid potential side effects. Most importantly, we go beyond just prescribing shots – we offer complete care with nutritional counseling, body composition analysis, and Wellness coaching.
Hormone Harmony Clinic utilizes a holistic 5-point system to promote weight loss:
This integrative approach sets us apart from other clinics only offering shots. We optimize each aspect of care to help patients lose more weight than with dieting alone.
Over a 6-12 month period, our patients lose 10-15% or more of their excess body weight on average. Some lose much more with diligent adherence.
The result is not just weight loss – it’s better health, confidence, and quality of life!
Our physicians tailor semaglutide protocols to each patient, but a typical regimen consists of:
We closely track weight, body composition, blood glucose/A1C, metabolic markers, and overall wellness. This allows us to make dosage adjustments or add additional medications (like metformin) to optimize each patient’s results.
The goal is 10-15% weight loss within 6 months, with improved body composition and metabolic health markers. Further weight loss can be attained thereafter reassessing goals.
Semaglutide promotes weight loss through several mechanisms of action in the body:
In essence, semaglutide helps coordinate appetite, digestion, and metabolism to create the conditions for easier, healthier weight loss.
If you are struggling with obesity or overweight, we emphasize the importance of prompt medical assessment and treatment through our clinic.
The health risks posed by excess weight are significant – including Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, reflux, sleep apnea, and even some cancers. Plus detriments to mood, self-image, relationships, and quality of life.
However, most patients find it very difficult to lose weight through just diet and exercise alone. This often leads to frustration, depression, and weight cycling. Medications like compounded semaglutide injections can provide the necessary boost to see real results.
In short, prompt diagnosis and treatment here at Hormone Harmony Clinic provides patients struggling with weight the best chances for meaningful, sustainable success!
