OUR SERVICES

BMI Assessment:We start by assessing your Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a valuable tool for understanding your weight in relation to your height. This helps us determine the appropriate weight management plan for you.
Complete Blood Work:We conduct thorough blood work to assess various health markers. This includes checking for comorbidities associated with obesity such as hypertension (HTN), high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Semaglutide Injections:As part of our weight loss program, we offer Semaglutide injections, a medication that can assist in your weight management journey.

SEMAGLUTIDE

Mechanism of Action:Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. It works by:
Appetite Suppression:Semaglutide helps reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, leading to reduced food intake.
Blood Sugar Control:It regulates blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon production.
Slows Digestion:Semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, which helps control post-meal glucose levels and appetite.
Side Effects of Semaglutide:While Semaglutide can be an effective tool for weight loss, it may also have side effects, including:
Nausea:Some people may experience mild to moderate nausea, especially when starting treatment. It often improves over time.
Diarrhea:Diarrhea can occur in some individuals but is usually temporary.
Hypoglycemia:Semaglutide may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with other diabetes medications. It’s essential to monitor your blood sugar levels.
Gastrointestinal Issues:Other gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and abdominal pain can occur but are less common.
