FDA-Approved Semaglutide for Sustainable Weight Loss

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It tells your brain you're full, slows how fast your stomach empties, and takes the edge off cravings, which makes it far easier to hold the calorie deficit that sustainable weight loss depends on. It leans on your biology instead of your willpower.

Clinical trials show an average loss of 12–18% of body weight over 12 months. In our clinic we usually see 1–2 lbs a week when patients stay consistent and keep their follow-ups. Where you land comes down to your starting weight, your dose, and how the rest of your habits line up.

The most common side effects are mild and digestive: nausea, some reflux, a little constipation, usually right when you step up to a new dose. They tend to settle within 2–4 weeks. Our physicians keep a close eye on it and adjust your dose to keep the discomfort down.

Most patients hold a therapeutic dose for 6–12 months to reach their target weight, then step down to a lower maintenance dose. We map out the long-term plan with you, based on your goals and how you've responded.

Cost depends on your dose and how long the program runs. We lay out the full price at your first consultation, medication, monitoring, and follow-up included, so nothing surprises you later.
