Three Simple Steps for Losing Weight
Schedule an appointment with one of our licensed physicians and complete a brief online intake form. This allows the doctor to better understand your medical history, current health, and weight loss goals prior to your visit.
During your appointment, the medical weight loss doctor evaluates whether semaglutide is appropriate for you. If eligible, the provider recommends an individualized dosage and discusses lifestyle guidance to support sustainable weight loss.
If medication is prescribed, you will be referred to a licensed pharmacy that handles payment and fulfillment. Your medication can be shipped directly to your home with clear self-administration instructions, or sent to your local pharmacy for pickup, depending on your preference. You may also receive guidance to support healthy meal planning as part of your treatment plan.

Semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications are typically considered for individuals who:
As with any medications 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.
