Overview of Semaglutide
Diabetes patients who need better glycemic control are generally prescribed semaglutide but now it’s available for people without diabetes seeking treatment for weight loss.
Our Treatment Philosophy
Weight management is similar to a chronic condition like high blood pressure, and should be treated as such, with medication accompanied by lifestyle changes. In treating our patients, we do so from a medical perspective, rather than from a judgmental willpower or character flaw perspective. As a result, we have a very high success rate.

More About Semaglutide?
Our bodies produce semaglutide from GLP1, a modified molecule. It’s a protein made in the intestines that results in a decrease in blood sugars and appetite. Due to a small change in the molecule, the drug lasts for weeks instead of minutes in our bodies. It is a higher dose of a drug originally used for diabetes and sold under the name Ozempic®, Rybelsus® or Wegovy®. The results were remarkable.
Research on Semaglutide and Weight Loss
Participants with obesity (BMI >30) took 2.4 mg Semaglutide each week for 68 weeks. The treatment group lost about 15% of its body weight (37 pounds for a 250-pound individual).

Is Semaglutide Effective for Weight Loss?
The scientific evidence backing semaglutide’s effectiveness as a weight-loss drug is impressive.
During a randomized, double-blind study conducted in the mid-2010s, semaglutide use resulted in significant weight loss. Weight loss was not only compared with a placebo group, but also to another substance in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class called Liraglutide.
Semaglutide “Appears to be Superior” for Weight Loss
Semaglutide “appears superior” to a variety of other GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss stimulation in type 2 diabetes patients, according to a study published in 2019. The same study found that semaglutide trials as a weight-loss drug exceeded the criterion set forth by both the FDA and EMA (European Medicines Agency) for obesity medications.
Results were Achieved with “Minimal Safety Concerns”.
Regardless of whether the patients evaluated were Type 2 diabetics, the weight loss results were achieved with “little” to “no safety concerns”.
More Recent Semaglutide Trials
Recently, 2,000 people with a BMI over 30 who were not diagnosed with diabetes took part in a double-blind trial. Those who implemented other lifestyle changes, such as exercise, saw a -14.9% change in body weight after 68 weeks of semaglutide treatment.
Superior Weight Loss Efficacy
Study from 2020 concluded that semaglutide provides superior weight loss efficacy with no demonstrable link to “gastrointestinal adverse events.” These adverse events include stomachaches and diarrhea.
Another Study on Semaglutide
Another study on semaglutide and weight loss paired the drug (or a placebo) with intensive behavioral therapy and a low-calorie diet. Additionally, semaglutide use resulted in significantly superior weight loss outcomes.
Powerful Appetite Suppression
As your stomach takes longer to empty itself of food, it sends signals to your brain that you are full. The signal is sent throughout the day, even if you eat less than usual. This process leads to a powerful appetite suppression effect based on the patient’s own natural insulin production.
