Weight Loss Injections
Semaglutide is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection approved by FDA for chronic weight management in adults when used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. Original manufacturer reported 15% to 18% weight loss findings during clinical trials. It takes a few months to reach the target dose, and you may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, this is typically managed by slowly increasing your dose over time.
Semaglutide is a medication belonging to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (CLP-1) receptor agonists that acts on the brain, pancreas and GI system to help with satiety and gastric absorption of food.
Patients can expect:
-
Decreased appetite
-
Improved blood sugar control
-
Increased fat loss
-
Lower risk of certain health conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol
While Semaglutide is a reliable long-term weight management solution, we believe it works best as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
As a part of your treatment plan, you’ll make regular visits to be monitored by our functional medicine expert who will answer questions and deliver monthly injections to you, discuss the weight loss plan for the month, routine lab analysis and physical exams. We’ll monitor your progress throughout to ensure safety and efficacy.
As with any medical treatment, Semaglutide may cause common side effects:
-
Abdominal pain
-
Headache
-
Low blood sugar
-
Constipation
-
Fatigue
-
Nausea
-

For most people, the symptoms are mild and disappear over time on their own but there are medications we provide if they dont.

-
eating small meals
-
decreasing alcohol consumption
-
not lying down right after eating
-
avoiding greasy food

METHIONINE
INOSITOL
An essential amino acid that speeds up fat removal within the liver & neutralizes toxins, promoting lean muscle growth; promotes collagen production, combats fatigue, and prevents neurological damage;
A vitamin-like substance that plays a critical role in metabolic function, encourages blood cell production, protects the health of nerve synapses, contributes to the metabolism of fat, reduces blood cholesterol, and promotes a better mood;
CHOLINE
VIT B12
An essential nutrient that helps to regulate memory, mood, and muscle control; supports liver function, contributes to the processing of chemical waste products, aids in fat metabolism, and distributes cholesterol to avoid its build-up in one part of the body;
A water-soluble vitamin involved in the metabolism that helps the body use fat & carbohydrates for energy & to make new protein. Essential for DNA synthesis and the production of blood cells. B12 boosts the effects of lipotropic injections (MIC injections) and accelerates the metabolism, increases energy production, contributes to the fat burning process, regulates mood, sleep, appetite, and maintains a healthy liver.
