Resolved to lose weight in 2023? Take a look at Semaglutide

Brought to you by - Hydralive

You’ve probably heard a lot about once-weekly Semaglutide, which is making headlines as one of the most successful weight management drugs. Are you wondering if Semaglutide is right for you?

Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is secreted in the gut and targets receptors throughout the body, including the brain. In other words, it sends a message to the brain, letting it know that the body is full – which causes people to eat less throughout the day.

At the beginning of the treatments, Semaglutide also decreases gastric emptying – the process by which stomach contents are moved into the first part of the small intestine as part of the digestive process, which can help dramatically with weight management.

While medication-assisted weight loss has been around for more than 15 years, Semaglutide has been making a name for itself thanks to its documented results.

What to Expect

At Hydralive Therapy Milton, Semaglutide as part of our holistic wellness service offerings. Our Semaglutide program starts with a virtual consultation. During this initial screening, our medical team will determine whether this medication is a good choice to help with your weight loss. Our practitioners will assess your medical history and review medications you may be taking. Your current body weight, history of weight loss attempts and body mass index will all factor into the decision to try Semaglutide for losing weight.

The initial treatment will be a subcutaneous injection of a low dose of Semaglutide. This is a deliberately low dose, since possible side effects include a serious drop in blood sugar and it takes time to adjust. Over time, the dose is gradually increased until you’re getting the full dosage once a week. The injections are to be administered on the same day each week for a specified time determined with the practitioner. During your treatment period, our team will work with you to develop viable weight management strategies that go beyond the medication.
