Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss

When diet and exercise aren’t enough, Palm Beach Health Works is here to help you reach your weight loss goals with medical solutions that are shown effective and long-lasting.

Semaglutide is a potent medical breakthrough that can accelerate the progress towards reaching your weight loss goals and maintaining your ideal weight going forward. As part of a well-rounded treatment regimen that combines Semaglutide and healthy lifestyle choices, more clients have lost the weight – and kept it off – while improving their overall health and well-being.

Palm Beach Health Works is ready to develop your personalized medical weight loss treatment plan with Semaglutide.

Why Semaglutide?

Nearly two-thirds of Americans are classified as overweight or obese, resulting in adverse health effects through increased risks of developing serious weight-related medical conditions. 

Semaglutide offers a variety of powerful advantages for achieving your weight loss goals because it works by targeting specific receptors in the brain that regulate appetite. This FDA-approved weight loss medication functions in much the same way as GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide 1) which is a hormone that your body produces in the gastrointestinal system when you are eating. 

The GLP-1 hormone is tasked with alerting your brain that you have finished eating and you are no longer hungry for more food, while slowing the digestive process to keep your stomach full for a longer period of time. 

When you take Semaglutide as prescribed by one of our medical weight loss providers, the medication works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to signal the same receptors in the brain to regulate your appetite, reduce cravings for snacks and empty calories, and limit your food intake. 

Semaglutide also stays in the body longer than the natural version of the GLP-1 hormone produced in the gut, so you can manage your weight more easily and successfully – without worrying about your glycemic levels. That’s because Semaglutide works to stimulate the body’s insulin production for healthy blood sugar support and burning off fat by converting it into energy.

Are You a Good Candidate for Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss Treatment?

The FDA recommends Semaglutide for clients 18 years of age or older with a body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or higher who has been diagnosed with at least one of these weight-related health conditions:

Type 2 diabetes

High cholesterol

High blood pressure.

Clients with a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher, without any weight-related health conditions may also benefit from Semaglutide for weight loss.

Who Shouldn’t Take Semaglutide

Anyone with a medical history that includes the following are not ideal candidates for Semaglutide weight loss treatments: 
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome

Semaglutide Treatment Schedule

Administering any medication for weight loss should be done under close monitoring and supervision. That’s why we start with weekly, low dose injections to give the body enough time to acclimate to the medication and navigate any potential side effects that might occur, such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. 

While most clients won’t experience these side effects, those who do typically have mild to moderate symptoms that don’t last very long. Low doses are administered in the first month of treatment to reduce the risk of experiencing such symptoms.

When Can You Expect to See Results?

Times may vary from one client to the next as a variety of factors contribute to how long it may take for Semaglutide to deliver the expected results. The average time it takes to see a difference in body weight is roughly four weeks. Treatment plans do change, in order to make adjustments as necessary to ensure the best and most effective solution for weight loss using Semaglutide, your medical weight loss professional will monitor your progress and adjust dosage size accordingly. 

Maintaining Healthy Lifestyle Habits

Semaglutide medication is most effective when administered to clients who are maintaining healthy lifestyle habits that incorporate physical activity and a balanced diet. 

Eating right and getting routine exercise will only increase your chances of seeing long-term weight loss results and accomplishing the weight control that keeps you on track for the future.
