Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for treating obesity and helping people lose weight. It works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which targets areas of the brain that reduce appetite. Semaglutide helps you feel fuller faster, longer, and reduces cravings.
At Vitality Balance Clinic, we provide customized semaglutide treatments to help patients in the Deer Park area lose weight safely and effectively. By combining semaglutide with lifestyle changes, patients can lose up to 20% of their body weight.
Semaglutide offers many benefits for weight loss:
By mimicking GLP-1, semaglutide sends signals to the brain reducing appetite and food cravings. This leads to eating smaller portions and feeling full faster.
Semaglutide increases fat burning while preserving muscle mass. It achieves this by improving insulin sensitivity.
In addition to weight loss, semaglutide can lower A1C and blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. This leads to better diabetes control.
Losing weight with semaglutide reduces risk factors for cardiovascular disease like high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels.
When combined with increased physical activity and healthier eating habits, semaglutide boosts weight loss results above medication alone.
At Vitality Balance Clinic, our goal is to help patients make lifestyle changes for long-term weight management while using semaglutide.
Semaglutide is taken as a once-weekly injection that helps patients feel fuller, faster while controlling cravings and calorie intake. Here's how it works:
Once injected, semaglutide activates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in the brain which control appetite and food intake.
Activation of GLP-1 receptors in the hypothalamus suppresses appetite by increasing feelings of fullness. This leads to reduced food intake.
By slowing digestion, semaglutide promotes feelings of fullness and further curbs appetite. Food stays in the stomach longer.
Semaglutide regulates blood sugar by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion when blood sugar levels are high.
This combination of effects makes semaglutide very effective for weight loss and diabetes control.
At Vitality Balance Clinic, we customize semaglutide treatment plans depending on patient needs and goals. Our standard protocol includes:
While using semaglutide, we advise patients in Deer Park to utilize local fitness resources like the Anytime Fitness gym on Center St. Patients should also consider relaxation offerings like massage at Serenity Spa on Park Ave.
Labs like Deer Park Medical Center and Excel Labs provide convenient locations for follow-up blood tests during treatment.
Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy, was originally developed as a treatment for diabetes but has gained significant popularity in recent years as an effective weight loss medication. Though not yet FDA-approved specifically for weight loss, semaglutide has shown in clinical trials to help patients lose an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks.

In clinical studies, patients taking semaglutide experienced impressive weight loss:
Most people lost 15% of starting body weight over 16 months with steady progress.
Some patients lost up to 20% body weight when combining semaglutide with diet and increased activity.
For people who continued treatment beyond 68 weeks, weight loss results persisted without regaining.
Clinical trials confirmed that adherence to semaglutide treatment, along with lifestyle interventions, leads to consistent, substantial weight reduction.
Semaglutide may be an appropriate weight loss treatment if you:
A higher BMI indicates obesity according to standard thresholds. Having additional health issues at a BMI ≥27 also qualifies.
If unhealthy eating patterns like overeating and frequent snacking sabotage your efforts, semaglutide can help rein that in.
Combining medication with improved nutritional choices and increased activity can optimize weight loss success.
Like any medication, semaglutide may cause unwanted side effects:
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, especially in initial weeks as the body adjusts to treatment. These typically subside over time.
Some people experience chills, sweats, increased heart rate, or headache as their metabolism ramps up.
Seek medical attention right away for signs of anaphylaxis like trouble breathing, rash, or throat swelling.
Our medical staff carefully analyzes patient risk factors before prescribing to minimize health risks. We support patients in managing temporary side effects for optimal treatment compliance and safety.
With close monitoring, semaglutide offers significant benefits and a reasonably strong safety profile based on extensive research.
