How It Works

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist; it mimics the action of incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GL-1), increasing insulin secretion, increasing blood sugar disposal, and improving glycemic control.

The drug was originally indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Now it’s also indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise for long-term weight management in adults with obesity with at least one weight-related comorbidity.

Semaglutide reduces food intake by lowering appetite and slowing down digestion in the stomach, helping to reduce body fat. Because it delays stomach emptying, it leads to feeling fuller.

Our Customized Approach

Our formulation has been customized to manage the potential adverse effects of any nausea and vomiting. The dosing schedule is conservative to minimize hypoglycemia incidences.

What to Expect

Your first visit will be your initial consultation (the cost is $50) with our Nurse Practitioner, Emily Mathis. There will be a few sheets of intake paperwork to fill out, then you will be ready to meet with the provider.

She will review your medical history, medications, vitals and BMI. To her discretion (based on the FDA recommendations for treating obesity), she will determine if Semaglutide is a safe and good option for you.
