Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved weight loss injection. By mimicking a hormone in the body, Semaglutide increases insulin secretion while slowing down how fast your stomach empties food. This suppresses your appetite, so you feel full longer, helping you eat less and lose weight.

How does Semaglutide work for weight loss?

Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (or GLP-1) that targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. Your digestive tract releases this incretin hormone after you’ve eaten a meal, lowering your blood sugar by triggering insulin release to block sugar production. Doing so helps you eat less and lose one to two pounds per week. And while a reduced-calorie meal plan increases the rate at which you lose and keep off weight, dieting is not required to lose weight on Semaglutide.

Am I a candidate for Semaglutide weight loss injections?

During your consultation, your provider will discuss your current health state and whether Semaglutide is the right option for you. All of your questions will be answered thoroughly to provide a full understanding of this treatment.

Semaglutide should be combined with lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and exercise. By combining the two, patients can maximize their results.

What are the benefits of Semaglutide weight loss injections?

  • Lower blood sugar without any increase in hypoglycemia
  • Reduced body weight, lipids, blood pressure, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress
  • Suppressed appetite
  • Enhanced insulin synthesis and secretion
  • Reduced glucagon levels in fasting and after eating
  • A promoted sensation of fullness in the brain
  • Slowed gastric emptying in the intestines to help you feel fuller for longer
  • Weight loss
  • More significant improvement in cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity

Safety, results and side effects

The FDA studied Semaglutide’s safety and efficacy in four 68-week trials. Individuals who received the injections safely lost 6.2% of their initial body weight compared to those who received a placebo. However, it is essential to be aware of reported side effects when determining whether Semaglutide weight loss injections suit your weight loss journey. Gastrointestinal (or GI) side effects are most common when taking this medication, especially after increasing your dose. You will have access to your provider at all times during your treatment to assist you through any of the side effects. The most common side effects include the following:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Constipation
  • Stomach pain
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Indigestion
  • Dizziness
  • Bloating
  • Burping

NAD+

per month
$199

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. It is essential for the function of sirtuins, a family of proteins involved in longevity and metabolic regulation. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to reduced cellular function and increased susceptibility to age-related diseases.

Supplementing with NAD+ can help restore cellular energy, support mitochondrial function, and promote overall health. Some of the key benefits include:

Benefits of NAD+ Supplementation

  • Enhanced Cellular Energy: NAD+ is a key player in the production of ATP, the energy currency of cells, improving vitality and reducing fatigue.
  • DNA Repair: NAD+ supports the activity of PARP enzymes, which are critical for repairing damaged DNA and maintaining genomic stability.
  • Anti-Aging Effects: By activating sirtuins, NAD+ helps regulate cellular aging, promoting longevity and reducing the impact of age-related decline.
  • Improved Cognitive Function: NAD+ supports brain health by enhancing neuronal function and protecting against neurodegenerative conditions.
  • Metabolic Health: It aids in regulating metabolism, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting weight management.
  • Reduced Inflammation: NAD+ helps modulate inflammatory pathways, potentially reducing chronic inflammation linked to various diseases.

Subcutaneous Administration of NAD+

  • Sustained Release: Subcutaneous administration allows for a slow, steady release of NAD+ into the bloodstream, maintaining stable levels over time.
  • Improved Bioavailability: Bypassing the digestive system ensures more efficient absorption and utilization of NAD+ compared to oral supplements.
  • Convenience and Comfort: Subcutaneous injections are minimally invasive and can be self-administered, making them a practical option for long-term use.
  • Targeted Benefits: This method may provide more direct support for cellular repair and energy production, particularly in tissues near the injection site.

Considerations

  • While subcutaneous NAD+ administration is generally safe, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation. Proper dosing, sterile techniques, and monitoring for potential side effects (e.g., mild irritation at the injection site) are essential for optimal results.

Lipo B12 Shots

per month
$125

Lipo-B12 injections help release fat in those hard-to-lose areas.

Nearly everyone has them — those troublesome areas of fat that are oh-so-difficult to lose. Lipotropic injections can help you release fat deposits in some of these areas, including your: belly, inner thighs, hips, buttocks, double chin.

The combination of ingredients in the lipo-B12 shots directly aids in the breakdown of fat in these trouble spots. Dosage will be provided by your provider and how to administer your dose.
