What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes. It mimics a natural hormone that regulates appetite, slows digestion and reduces cravings, helping you feel fuller for longer and lose weight steadily when paired with lifestyle changes.

How it works

  • Suppresses appetite so you control cravings and eat less
  • Slows gastric emptying, keeping you satisfied after meals
  • Improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
  • Promotes gradual, sustainable weight loss alongside a balanced diet

What to expect

Your journey begins with a consultation and health assessment. If approved, you'll start a tailored plan of weekly self-administered injections with nutritional guidance. We track your progress with a baseline Fit3D body scan and adjust your dosing along the way, so your results are measured, not guessed. In select states, we can ship your medication straight to your door.

Who qualifies?

Not everyone is a candidate. During your consultation we review your health history to confirm Semaglutide is safe for you. You may not qualify with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2, a history of pancreatitis, or certain other contraindications.

  • A family history of medullary thyroid cancer
  • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2A or 2B
  • A history of pancreatitis
  • Pregnancy, or planning pregnancy
  • Severe gastrointestinal disease or type 1 diabetes

Possible side effects

Most people tolerate Semaglutide well. Any side effects are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts, and they can include:

  • Nausea or stomach cramping
  • Indigestion or constipation
  • Loose stool
  • Mild discomfort at the injection site
These usually ease within the first few weeks. Your provider monitors you throughout and can fine-tune your dose or suggest simple remedies if needed.
