The Science Of Satiety
What is Semaglutide?
Feeling full for longer is the key to many weight loss methods, and semaglutide is a groundbreaking medication that can transform the appetite. It works by stimulating GLP-1 enzymes, which in turn boost insulin production from the pancreas, helping to regulate blood sugar and curb hunger.
Semaglutide also promotes feelings of fullness by increasing satiety hormones and reducing ghrelin, the hormone that triggers hunger. Through these methods, semaglutide can support significant weight loss, potentially leading to a reduction of up to 20 percent of body weight.
A New Strategy
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a brand of semaglutide that has been shown to help patients who struggle with chronic obesity or excess weight lose as much as 15% of their body weight. This medication can be prescribed at a higher dose than similar weight loss drugs, leading to better results for many patients. It can only be taken with a prescription, and it’s important to work directly with a medical provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Wegovy Candidates
It’s important to note that this medication is for those suffering from chronic obesity or excess weight who are over 30 BMI or are over 27 BMI and have specific weight-related diseases. Those seeking to lose a minimal amount of weight or stubborn subcutaneous fat are not good candidates for this treatment.
Set The Plan In Motion
Your Wegovy Consultation and Preparation
We are excited to help our patients every step of the way on their journey to weight loss, and that starts with a consultation. We will get to know you and your health and lifestyle goals so we can make a detailed treatment plan. Patients with a medical history that includes pancreatitis or certain types of cancer are likely not eligible for this treatment, so it’s important to share your full medical history with your provider.
We’re Here For Your Success
The Wegovy Treatment Process
Generally, patients start with a low dose of Wegovy, which is then increased over time to allow the body to adjust to the medication. Wegovy is administered via a weekly injection by the patient at home, typically into the thigh, stomach, or upper arm. Regular follow-up visits are important so we can monitor progress, offer support, and note any side effects.
Time For Real Results
Results and Aftercare With Wegovy
The timeline for seeing results with Wegovy can vary, but many patients begin to notice improvements in appetite control and weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment.
Full results, including significant weight reduction, may take several months. To maintain results, patients are encouraged to follow a healthy diet and engage in regular physical activity.
