Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. Research has shown it also effectively assists with weight loss in obese individuals through reducing appetite and calorie intake.
When used specifically for chronic weight management, semaglutide is taken as a weekly injection. Studies show people using semaglutide lost on average 12-15% of their body weight over 16-20 weeks. This amount of weight loss can have meaningful health benefits like improving cardiovascular markers.
Optimal Hormone Solutions provides semaglutide as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program. With our board-certified hormone and weight loss specialists, we offer a customized plan to help clients achieve sustainable fat loss and optimize their wellbeing.
The process begins with an initial consultation where we evaluate metabolic health, hormone balance, lifestyle factors, and readiness for medication-assisted weight loss. Relevant lab testing helps us understand each client's underlying needs.
Based on the consult and test results, our practitioners determine if semaglutide is appropriate or if other interventions like nutritional counseling, exercise planning, or additional hormone therapies should come first.
Once cleared to start, semaglutide therapy begins with a gradual dose ramp-up over 5-6 weeks to allow the body to adjust and minimize side effects. Clients then continue with the full dose for 3-6 months with regular check-ins.
To support optimal results, clients follow a reduced-calorie meal plan and have access to Optimal Hormone Solutions nutritionists and personal trainers. We also provide blood draws throughout treatment to monitor progress.
The key to lasting success with semaglutide is continuing healthy behaviors when injections stop. Optimal Hormone Solutions helps clients transition into a maintenance phase with periodic weigh-ins and consults for accountability. Support with meal planning, activity tracking, and hormone balance continues as needed.
Choosing Optimal Hormone Solutions for semaglutide therapy means benefiting from our specialized experience with weight optimization and hormone treatments.
