Semaglutide is an exciting new medication recently approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition. It represents a breakthrough approach for sustained and meaningful weight loss when combined with increased physical activity and caloric deficit.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It sends signals of fullness to the brain and slows digestion to reduce appetite and food intake. In clinical trials, people taking semaglutide lost 15-18% of their body weight on average. Weight loss results can be significant with proper adherence to treatment protocols.
At Hormone Harmony in Denton, we are thrilled to now offer semaglutide shots as part of our extensive lineup of weight loss and hormone therapies. As leaders in health, wellness and hormone balance, we take a comprehensive approach to help patients achieve sustainable success.
Semaglutide may be an option for adults struggling with obesity or overweight who also have at least one of the following:
It offers new hope for meaningful weight reduction when traditional diet and exercise have not been sufficient. Semaglutide helps regulate cravings and hunger, making lifestyle changes more achievable for long-term results.
While not a primary weight loss drug, semaglutide is also approved for type 2 diabetes treatment at varying dosages due to its ability to lower A1C and improve glycemic control.
Our compassionate providers will conduct a medical evaluation to determine if you are an appropriate candidate. Hormone Harmony offers free consultations to review your health history and develop a customized plan incorporating semaglutide if deemed beneficial.
