Semaglutide

Semaglutide Weight Loss Program

Semaglutide is a revolutionary FDA Approved treatment for weight loss. Semaglutide helps your body to burn fat more effectively by reducing hunger and cravings.

Semaglutide injections

Semaglutide injections are an effective new treatment option for people looking to lose or maintain a healthy weight without extreme dieting or exercise. It is a once-a-week injection that easily fits into a busy schedule.
It works by mimicking hormones that target areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite, which helps you to eat less and leads to weight loss.

Semaglutide is started

Semaglutide is started at the lowest effective dose and injected once weekly for 4 weeks and then titrated up every 4 weeks for the next 5 months. This will help give your body a chance to get used to the medicine.
It generally takes up to 6 months for you to reach the maximum dose of the medication. So, it is recommended that you plan to commit to this weight loss plan for a minimum of 6 months to see significant results.

Tips for success while on Semaglutide

3. Avoid Foods That May Cause Side Effects

4. Drink A Lot Of Water

You know the importance of drinking enough water — it’s vital for all your bodily processes. But it becomes even more important with Semaglutide, as staying hydrated can stave off nausea that some people experience on this medication. Try to get in a minimum of 80 ounces of water a day. And just like with calories, many apps are available to track your daily water intake.

5. Keep Alcohol to a Minimum --- or Not at All.

6. Aim To Lose 1-2lbs MAX Each Week

This program isn’t a quick-fix diet — it provides healthy weight loss at a rate of one to three pounds per week. If you lose over three pounds per week (considered rapid weight loss), you may be at risk for developing gallstones. We recommend eating 1200-1500 calories a day. To start, you may want to track your calories on an app to ensure you’re eating enough.

7. Move As Much As You Can

Regular exercise is vital for good health, with or without Semaglutide. But getting in more movement while on Semaglutide can help you achieve better results — and keep those results after you’ve lost weight. The best way to get more movement in is to start walking more. You can even use a step counter on your phone or watch to keep track of how you’re doing.

What Our Clients Say

“I've been on Semaglutide for 2 months and have lost 15 lbs! I am over the moon about these results, especially after working out in the gym three to four days a week, eating healthy and barely losing 3 lbs in the past year on my own. Thank you Dr. Owens! You have changed my life for the better and improved my health. Best part is, my blood pressure is finally under control and I don't have to take medications anymore.”Apr 15, 2023

Natalie S.

"I'm so happy I decided to try Semaglutide for weight loss. I have been struggling for years on several other diets and it was super hard to lose weight. This has been a seamless process with the once a week injections that fits my busy schedule. Thank you Dr. Owens"

Shannon T.

"I was my heaviest at almost 300 lbs and my doctor said that if I didn't lose weight, I would likely have a heart attack in year or two. That's when I started taking it seriously and decided to do something about my weight. I started with Semaglutide and immediately starting losing weight. In total I lost 60lbs in less than a year and haven't been at this size since my late 20's. Thank you Dr. Owens for being patient with me and helping me throughout this process." May 2023
