One of the risks of heart disease and stroke is being overweight/obese and diabetes.

Semaglutide is a medication that has been shown to help with weight loss and to keep weight off in correlation with a healthy diet and exercise routine and it is what we’ll be providing in our Weight Loss Treatment Membership.

We are especially excited to offer this Membership as it will help contribute to our goal of reducing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and atrial fibrillation along with a few other chronic medical conditions.

It will depend on every client individually, however, many will lose around 5% of their initial body weight. It has shown to be as high as 10% over 12 weeks, therefore, getting to a 10-20lb weight loss for a 200 lb person. Everybody may have different results though.

It is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) produced by the gut. It reduces appetite and energy intake while delaying gastric emptying. GLP-1 is approved for long-term use. In most cases, patients will cycle on and off the medication as needed to keep weight at the best level.

Semaglutide is a medication that has been initially used to treat those with Diabetes Type 2. It works by increasing the insulin production in your body (the hormone that lowers blood sugar) and decreasing the glucagon produced by the pancreas (the hormone that raises blood sugar).

While this medication does help with weight reduction and diabetes control, it also benefits in other ways as in correlation with the weight loss itself:

• Reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation
• Leads to favorable changes in cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, and diabetes
• "Improves structure and function of the heart" 
• Improves cholesterol
• Improves quality of life
• Reduces heart disease risk
• Reduce cancer risk
• Improves mental health

The Semaglutide that we provide is a compounded generic medication with Vitamin B12 and isn’t associated with other brand name medications that are offered.
