Semaglutide operates by imitating a natural hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which specifically targets areas in the brain responsible for controlling appetite. By doing so, semaglutide aids in the regulation of various hormones, including insulin, leading to a significant reduction in blood sugar levels. As a result, semaglutide effectively curbs appetite and diminishes food cravings.
According to a study, individuals with obesity who received a weekly dose of 2.4 mg of semaglutide over a period of 68 weeks experienced an average weight loss of approximately 15% of their initial body weight. However, it is worth noting that participants who incorporated "healthy" lifestyle modifications alongside semaglutide treatment achieved even more substantial weight loss, surpassing 20% of their original body weight.

SEMAGLUTIDE VS THE OTHER BRANDS
Semaglutide and the other brands share the same active ingredient, functioning in the same manner, and delivering equally remarkable outcomes.
However, the disparity lies in the significantly higher cost of the other brands, which is often 4-5 times the price. This discrepancy can be attributed to the fact that branded drugs encompass the expenses of research, development, marketing, and the medication's actual cost being a relatively small fraction of the total price.
Moreover, the majority of insurance plans do not cover weight loss medications, leaving individuals with limited options: either paying $1000-$1500 USD per month directly or enduring a cumbersome insurance appeal process.
We strongly advocate for weight loss assistance to be reasonably priced and easily accessible.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval to medications containing semaglutide as an active ingredient, namely Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus. As with many medications, semaglutide may present certain side effects. The most frequently reported mild side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion, and constipation. However, it is important to note that semaglutide may also lead to more severe side effects, such as pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), vision changes, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), kidney problems (including kidney failure), and serious allergic reactions.

According to medical experts, semaglutide - the active ingredient found in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy - is considered the most advanced and promising drug for weight loss. In a 68-week clinical trial, patients using semaglutide experienced an average weight reduction of 15%. Nevertheless, participants who incorporated "healthy" lifestyle modifications achieved even greater weight loss, exceeding 20% and beyond. Now, let's explore how you can also achieve similar results by implementing these changes.

Semaglutide
Our newest medical weight loss program is semaglutide injections. Semaglutide is for adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (excess weight) (BMI ≥27) who also have weight-related medical problems to help them lose weight and keep it off. Semaglutide should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.
How does it work?
Semaglutide is a weekly injection taken for at least a period of 3 months.
Semaglutide is peptide that works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which targets an area of the brain that regulates appetite and food intake. By controlling blood sugar spikes and lowering blood sugar, as well as reducing appetite and cravings energy levels are more consistent.
There are side effects associated with Semaglutide. Learn more here.
Semaglutide is a medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and reduces glucagon release from the pancreas. By increasing insulin production and decreasing glucagon levels, semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
One notable feature of semaglutide is its long-acting formulation. It is available as a once-weekly injection, providing convenience for patients compared to daily medication regimens. The extended duration of action allows for consistent blood sugar control throughout the week, reducing the frequency of dose administration and potentially enhancing medication adherence.
In addition to its glucose-lowering effects, semaglutide has demonstrated benefits in weight management. The medication has been approved at a higher dose specifically for the treatment of obesity in individuals without diabetes. Semaglutide acts on the brain's appetite control centers, leading to reduced food intake and increased feelings of fullness. This dual effect on both glycemic control and weight management makes semaglutide a valuable option for patients with type 2 diabetes who struggle with overweight or obesity.
It's important to note that semaglutide, like any medication, may have potential side effects. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms are typically mild and diminish over time. However, more severe side effects can occur, and it's essential for patients to discuss any concerns or unusual symptoms with their healthcare provider.
In summary, semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Its long-acting formulation offers the convenience of once-weekly dosing and helps maintain consistent blood sugar control. Additionally, semaglutide has been found to promote weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. As with any medication, it is crucial for individuals to consult their healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring when considering or using semaglutide.
HCG Diet
Our medical weight loss is a revolutionary program designed for rapid weight loss and muscle retention. The program is a hormone-based diet that involves a small dosage of prescription compounded Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, a bioidentical hormone naturally produced by the body. The beauty of our medical weight loss program is that it is designed to help your body burn fat while retaining muscle mass. The average reported weight loss is 0.5 to 1 lb. per day!
For those that hCG is not a viable program, we have an alternate 30 day program consisting of 3 prescription supplements. This powerful combination can help you lose up to 15 pounds in 30 days.
What is the hCG program?
It’s a low calorie nutrition plan that works in conjunction with prescription injectable hCG. Body Sculpt Express provides a specific nutrition plan that is easy to follow. The hCG diet is not meant to be a long term program.
How does it work?
The hCG facilitates your body’s access to fat reserves during the low calorie program. It prevents muscle loss, hunger and typical setbacks with traditional diets. The hCG prescription can either be picked up at our clinic or it can be delivered to your home.
Will you gain weight after?
After the program, you will notice you won’t have the same desires for unhealthy foods. Your body will be accustomed to eating clean foods. This is the perfect opportunity to initiate a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and long term nutrition planning.
