At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Dunn, NC, we provide Semaglutide to support effective weight loss. This FDA-approved treatment is designed to assist with managing excess weight and type 2 diabetes, facilitating substantial weight reduction and enhancing overall health.
Semaglutide is a medication approved by the FDA to aid weight loss by imitating a hormone that influences appetite control in the brain. By reducing hunger and cravings, Semaglutide enables you to consume fewer calories and feel full longer. This promotes sustainable weight loss and helps you maintain a healthier lifestyle. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Dunn, NC, we include Semaglutide in our weight loss programs to help you meet your weight loss goals safely and effectively.
Semaglutide supports weight loss by mimicking the effects of a hormone crucial for appetite regulation. By binding to GLP-1 receptors in the brain, Semaglutide increases feelings of fullness, reduces hunger, and slows down gastric emptying.
This results in greater satisfaction with smaller portions and fewer cravings, leading to a natural reduction in calorie intake. Over time, you can expect a notable decrease in excess weight and a healthier lifestyle.
Administering Semaglutide is straightforward and convenient. Start by cleaning the injection site—typically your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm—with an alcohol swab. Next, attach the needle to the pre-filled pen and set the prescribed dose. Gently grasp the skin at the injection site and position the needle at a 90-degree angle. Press the pen’s button to administer the medication and hold it steady for a few seconds. For optimal results, adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Semaglutide is effective for weight loss but may cause some side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which generally diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. Rarely, more serious side effects such as pancreatitis or gallbladder issues may occur. Always follow your provider's instructions and report any unusual or persistent symptoms to ensure safe and effective treatment.
How much weight can I lose?
With Semaglutide, you can achieve significant weight loss. Clinical studies indicate that users may lose up to 15% of their body weight over approximately 68 weeks. Outcomes depend on personal factors including diet, exercise, and commitment to the treatment regimen. Many people begin to see weight loss within the initial weeks of treatment. To maximize results, follow your healthcare provider’s guidance and maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout your treatment.
Most individuals start noticing weight loss within the first few weeks of using Semaglutide. The pace of weight loss can vary depending on personal factors like diet and exercise.
No specific diet is required, but following a balanced and healthy diet can enhance your weight loss results. Your healthcare provider can provide personalized dietary recommendations.
The length of treatment depends on your weight loss goals and response to the medication. Your healthcare provider will tailor the treatment plan to suit your needs.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s within two days of your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
