Three Simple Steps for Losing Weight
No payment is required prior to your initial consultation. You will discuss your goals with the doctor and receive an order for blood work if you are a good candidate and wish to move forward.
Meet with the doctor for a telehealth appointment to review your lab results and discuss the details of your treatment plan. The doctor will explain potential side effects, answer any questions, and outline what to expect from treatment.
We will then refer you to a pharmacy and facilitate the payment and fulfillment of your medication. Your medication will be shipped directly to you at your home, along with clear instructions for self-administration. You may also have your prescription sent to your local pharmacy for pickup.

The Sanctuary Wellness Institute works with licensed prescription weight loss doctors serving Pennsylvania patients through physician-supervised telehealth care. Our medical providers specialize in weight loss treatments, including prescription GLP-1 medications, with a focus on safety and personalized care. This approach allows Pennsylvania patients to access professional weight loss support conveniently and responsibly.
Semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications are typically considered for individuals who:
As with any medication, the effect of GLP-1 medication varies from patient to patient. Your response to GLP-1 may not match the timing below. This chart is meant to give a general idea of what to expect.
| Month | Semaglutide Timeline |
|---|---|
| ONE | As your body adjusts to the medication, you may experience mild side effects such as nausea or decreased appetite. Early appetite suppression and modest weight loss are common during this phase. |
| TWO | Weight loss often becomes more noticeable. Side effects typically lessen, appetite control improves, and managing portion sizes becomes easier. |
| THREE | Steady progress may continue, with improved energy levels and metabolic benefits such as better blood sugar regulation for some patients. |
| FOUR | Weight loss may slow or temporarily plateau. By this stage, healthier eating patterns and increased physical activity are often more established. |
| FIVE | Continued weight loss may occur along with broader health improvements, including better blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and fewer food cravings. |
| SIX | With ongoing medical supervision, many patients focus on maintaining results through long-term lifestyle changes and sustained weight management. |
Semaglutide can be effective for weight loss, but some people may experience side effects as their body adjusts. The intensity and type of side effects can vary, and not everyone will experience them. Common side effects may include:
Most side effects are mild and temporary. To help minimize discomfort, it can be beneficial to eat smaller, low-fat meals, stay hydrated, and follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.
