What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. It was originally developed for diabetes management and later approved for weight loss due to its significant effects on appetite and body weight.
‍
Unlike supplements or fad diets, Semaglutide works by changing how your brain and digestive system respond to food.

How Semaglutide Supports Weight Loss (The Biology)

Semaglutide helps with weight loss by acting on multiple systems in the body:

• Reduces hunger signals in the brain
• Slows stomach emptying, so you feel full longer
• Decreases food noise and cravings
• Improves blood sugar regulation, which supports fat loss

Because it targets the biological drivers of weight gain, many patients find they can eat less without feeling deprived.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?

Semaglutide may be appropriate if you:

• Are overweight or obese
• Struggle with constant hunger or cravings
• Have not had lasting success with diet and exercise alone
• Want a medically supervised weight loss option
• Prefer in-person visits or telehealth care

Your provider will review your medical history to determine eligibility and ensure this medication is safe for you.

What to Expect From Semaglutide Treatment

1️⃣ Initial Medical Consultation

Meet with a licensed provider in-person or via telehealth to discuss goals, health history, and expectations.

2️⃣ Prescription & Dose Titration

Semaglutide is started at a low dose and gradually increased to minimize side effects and improve tolerability.

3️⃣ Ongoing Monitoring

Regular follow-ups allow your provider to assess progress, adjust dosing, and manage side effects.

💡 Labs are not required for every patient. They are ordered only when clinically indicated.

Expected Side Effects of Semaglutide

Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts. Common side effects may include:

• Nausea
• Feeling overly full
• Decreased appetite
• Occasional constipation or reflux

Gradual dose increases help reduce side effects, and your provider will guide you through the process.

Who Should NOT Use Semaglutide?

Semaglutide may not be appropriate for individuals who:

• Have a history of certain thyroid cancers
• Have specific endocrine disorders
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have contraindications determined by a medical provider

Your provider will review all risks during your consultation.

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide

Semaglutide works through one primary hormone pathway (GLP-1).
Some patients may benefit from Tirzepatide, which activates two appetite-regulating hormones.
