Semaglutide is an injectable medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. More recently, it has shown great promise as an effective medical aid for weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. It helps patients feel fuller faster so they eat less and lose excess weight.
There are a few key ways that semaglutide injections support weight loss:
Research has found that people using semaglutide lost significantly more weight compared to placebo. Most experts consider it one of the most effective medical weight loss options currently available.
Beyond weight loss, semaglutide has demonstrated other health advantages:
So along with supporting easier weight loss, semaglutide helps patients get healthier overall.
Here at Balance Hormone Clinic in Palm Beach, we are excited to offer semaglutide combined with lifestyle education to help patients successfully manage their weight loss goals.
Semaglutide is given via simple injections under the skin once weekly. The medication dosage starts low and is increased incrementally to improve gastrointestinal tolerance.
Along with semaglutide injections, our patients receive:
We partner each patient with a dedicated care team to provide tailored medical management and lifestyle education for optimal outcomes.

The process to begin semaglutide treatment is straightforward. Here is an overview what new patients can expect:
The first visit is a 60 minute consultation with one of our weight loss specialized providers. They will:
If found to be a good fit, patients will then complete the enrollment paperwork and process including:
Semaglutide injections : On-site blood draw lab work, review injection training materials, schedule delivery for medication to be shipped directly to you

There are many factors that can contribute to stubborn excess weight that make losing fat exceptionally difficult including:
Hormones such as thyroid, cortisol and insulin manage how we metabolize energy from food. When their levels sway too high or too low, it alters metabolism often slowing it down which leads to weight gain and inability to lose it. Our providers test key hormone levels and determine if optimization is required.
Research shows there are several genes that program our bodies to store more fat and burn fewer calories. This genetic influence stacks the odds against some people to lose weight compared to others. Semaglutide works despite genetic drives to resist weight loss.
Several medical conditions negatively shift how calories and nutrients are processed, almost always increasing hunger and fat storage. These include polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), high inflammation levels, diabetes, cholesterol imbalance and gastrointestinal diseases. Treating the underlying condition is key.
Stress, boredom, sadness and nervousness are common triggers for overeating - especially high fat and sugar comfort foods. Making behavior adjustments to respond differently along with stress reduction practices helps immensely. We offer counseling and support groups.
Not getting enough consistent quality sleep alters hunger signaling leading to overeating and decreased ability to make healthy food choices. Prioritizing sleep health accelerates weight loss results.
If you have struggled losing weight, you now know why and how we can help finally overcome these barriers with semaglutide facilitated weight loss.
Semaglutide was originally discovered in the saliva of a non-venomous species of gila monster lizard named Heloderma suspectum. Scientists found that components of the lizard's saliva helped regulate appetite and blood sugar. This discovery eventually led to the development of semaglutide as a medication for diabetes and weight loss in humans.
The way semaglutide promotes weight loss is multi-factorial. It activates receptors in the brain, stomach and pancreas improving satiety signals, digestion rates and insulin response. Specifically, it:
It replicates how the natural GLP-1 hormone manages food intake and energy expenditure - essentially optimizing these effects resulting in eating less and enhanced calorie burning.
For most patients, we find using semaglutide for weight loss elicits impressive body composition improvements including:
Monitoring periodic body composition tests allows us to track and optimize preferential loss of body fat while maintaining or adding lean muscle mass through sound nutrition and fitness guidance.
The step-by-step process for initiating and continuing semaglutide therapy at our Palm Beach weight loss clinic is designed for simplicity and efficiency yielding rapid results our patients love to see.
To begin using semaglutide for weight loss, patients need to:
We provide ample patient education materials and demonstrated injection training to ensure patients are fully prepared to integrate semaglutide properly.
We emphasize gradual dose escalation over 5 weeks allowing the body to adjust which minimizes temporary side effects.
During this gradual ramp process, patients begin tracking food intake and activity as they learn key dietary approaches and movement strategies for maximal response.
Once at full dose, monthly follow up visits focus on:
Our extensive experience managing 1000's of weight loss patients enables us to troubleshoot hurdles and fine tune each person's regimen to realize transformative fat loss.
Like any medication, semaglutide does have some potential side effects that we monitor closely to keep patients safe and comfortable on their weight loss journey.
The most common side effects stem from semaglutide slowing digestion including:
These symptoms are usually worst when first stating and improve over days and weeks as the body adjusts. Staying hydrated, mindful eating, temporary anti-nausea medications and dose escalations greatly prevent prolonged issues.
Some less common reactions we remain vigilant for:
We test kidney and pancreas blood markers regularly for any indicators of organ distress and coach patients on warning signs to report asap should they occur.
Overall however, semaglutide is very well tolerated especially considering its incredible efficacy at eliciting substantial health improving weight loss safely.
A common concern patients have when losing weight is avoiding putting it all back on after stopping treatment. We offer a few key strategies to prevent weight regain following semaglutide facilitated weight loss.
Rather than abruptly stopping injections, we titrate the dosage down slowly over a period of 2-3 months. This allows your metabolism and hormones to readjust more seamlessly minimizing rebound effects.
With the rapid improvements semaglutide delivers early on, it allows patients extra margin to double down on adopting fitness regimens and preparing satisfying healthier meals they genuinely enjoy. This makes maintaining weight loss easier long term.
Staying connected with our maintenance counseling and accountability tracking helps patients stick to effective eating and activity habits cementing their new normal rhythm supporting kept-off weight.
If some creep back starts to occur, short-term reintroduction of brief semaglutide cycles often quickly re-establishes weight loss momentum without need for continuous usage.
With some diligence and our support, the vast majority of patients find keeping weight off quite achievable following their time using semaglutide for successful weight loss through our Palm Beach program.
To boost your odds of exceptional response to semaglutide, a few key lifestyle factors to address proactively include:
Getting 7-9 hour of quality sleep consistently fosters proper metabolic and hormone functioning that accentuates semaglutide benefits. Our tips for better sleep include:
We also offer sleep hygiene education and can connect patients with sleep health specialists for deeper dive assistance.
Higher stress levels directly impede weight loss progress and augment weight regain over time. Learning to mitigate stress through various means helps semaglutide work better such as:
We teach cognitive behavioral approaches to lessen anxiety and worry that derail otherwise smooth success.
Having one or more cheerleaders championing your weight loss pursuits and key allies to lean on when challenges arise prevents wavering dedication over the long haul. We help patients identify and specify the precise support they need from loved ones.
When combining semaglutide facilitated weight loss with foundational healthy lifestyle fundamentals, patients are thrilled with their profound incredible transformations in body and health.
