A steadier way to approach weight loss.

For some patients, weight loss is not about trying harder. It is about changing the pattern — less hunger, less noise around food, and a plan that feels easier to stay with over time. Our semaglutide program is designed for people who want a more considered medical option, with proper evaluation, thoughtful dosing, and follow-up that does not disappear after the first visit.

What is Semaglutide?

GLP-1 Therapy

Modern Medical Option For Weight Loss

Semaglutide is a prescription GLP-1 medication used as part of a physician-guided weight-loss program. It is designed to support adults who need more than diet and exercise alone, offering a more advanced clinical approach to appetite control and long-term weight management.

Appetite Support

Built to Help Control Hunger

Semaglutide works with the body’s natural appetite signals to help reduce hunger, improve fullness, and support better portion control. By making it easier to stay consistent with healthy habits, it can help patients build steadier progress without relying on extreme dieting or constant willpower alone.

Why Semaglutide?

More Than Willpower

Semaglutide can help support weight loss in a way that feels more manageable, especially for patients who feel like hunger and cravings have made progress harder to sustain.

Helps Reduce Hunger

Semaglutide may help reduce appetite and support better control over day-to-day hunger, making it easier for some patients to stay consistent with their plan.

Fits Into Real Life

With a simple weekly treatment approach, semaglutide can be easier to maintain than plans that feel overly restrictive or hard to follow.

More Than Willpower

Semaglutide may help reduce appetite and support better control over day-to-day hunger, making it easier for some patients to stay consistent with their plan.

What Treatment Can Look Like

A Personalized Starting Point

Treatment typically begins with a review of your goals, health history, and weight-loss needs to help determine whether semaglutide is a good fit.

A Simple Weekly Routine

For many patients, treatment becomes part of a consistent routine that feels manageable and easy to follow over time.

Ongoing Support Over Time

Follow-up, progress check-ins, and adjustments can help keep treatment aligned with your goals as your needs evolve.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Safety Information You Should Know

⚠  Risk of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors

In animal studies, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). It is not known whether semaglutide causes these tumors in humans. Do not use semaglutide if you or any family member has ever had MTC or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in FDA-approved medications for chronic weight management and type 2 diabetes, and has been studied extensively. Our program uses compounded semaglutide, prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies. Like any prescription medication, it carries potential risks — here's everything our medical team screens for before prescribing.

Contraindications

Do not take semaglutide if you:

Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
Have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
Have had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide or any of its ingredients
Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
A current eating disorder

Common Side  Effects

Most side effects improve as your body adjusts to the medication, especially during dose increases. Our team starts every patient on a low dose and titrates up slowly to minimize discomfort.

Nausea
Diarrhea or constipation
Vomiting
Stomach pain or bloating
Heartburn or acid reflux
Fatigue
Headache
Decreased appetite
Use with caution if you have any of these conditions
Serious side effects
Drug interactions to know about
Our commitment to your safety

Every patient in our program receives:

  • A thorough medical history review before any prescription is written
  • Lab work when clinically indicated
  • Regular provider check-ins throughout your treatment
  • Direct access to our medical team for questions or concerns
  • Medication sourced only from licensed, FDA-registered compounding pharmacies

We'd rather turn away a patient who isn't a good fit than put anyone at unnecessary risk. If semaglutide isn't right for you, we'll tell you — and help you explore other options.

This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Individual results and risks vary. If you experience a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
Evidence-Based

Research & Clinical Srouces

The STEP trials were funded by Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of semaglutide. SURMOUNT-5 was funded by Eli Lilly. These funding sources are standard for pharmaceutical drug development and do not invalidate the findings — all studies were published in peer-reviewed journals after independent review — but it is worth noting for transparency. Individual patient results may differ from clinical trial averages, which is why our program includes thorough medical evaluation and ongoing monitoring for every patient.

Wilding JPH, Batterham RL, Calanna S, et al. New England Journal of Medicine. 2021;384(11):989-1002. (STEP 1)
The foundational Phase 3 clinical trial that established semaglutide's effectiveness for weight management. Researchers followed 1,961 adults with overweight or obesity (without diabetes) across 16 countries for 68 weeks, comparing once-weekly semaglutide 2.4mg against placebo, with both groups receiving lifestyle counseling. Participants on semaglutide lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight compared to just 2.4% on placebo. 86% of participants achieved at least 5% weight loss, and approximately 70% achieved 10% or more. This trial led to FDA approval of semaglutide (Wegovy) for chronic weight management in 2021 and is the primary source for most of the statistics cited on this page.

Davies M, Færch L, Jeppesen OK, et al. The Lancet. 2021;397(10278):971-984. (STEP 2)
A Phase 3 trial specifically in 1,210 adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, evaluating semaglutide 2.4mg over 68 weeks. Participants lost an average of 9.6% of their body weight compared to 3.4% on placebo, demonstrating that semaglutide remains effective for weight loss in patients with diabetes — though typically with somewhat smaller effect sizes than in the non-diabetic population studied in STEP 1.

Rubino D, Abrahamsson N, Davies M, et al. JAMA. 2021;325(14):1414-1425. (STEP 4 — Weight Maintenance)
A Phase 3 trial examining what happens when patients continue vs. stop semaglutide after initial weight loss. 803 adults who had lost weight on semaglutide over 20 weeks were randomized to either continue or switch to placebo for an additional 48 weeks. Participants who continued on semaglutide lost an additional 7.9% of their body weight, while those switched to placebo regained 6.9%. This provides the clearest evidence that semaglutide works while you're on it — stopping typically leads to weight regain.

Aronne LJ, Horn DB, le Roux CW, et al. New England Journal of Medicine. 2025;393(1). (SURMOUNT-5)
The first direct head-to-head clinical comparison between semaglutide and tirzepatide in 751 adults with obesity over 72 weeks. Semaglutide produced an average weight loss of 13.7% compared to 20.2% for tirzepatide. Both medications were effective, but this study demonstrated that the dual-pathway mechanism of tirzepatide offers meaningfully greater weight loss for many patients — information useful for patients weighing which option is right for them.
