We offer an affordable semaglutide weight loss program in Pennsylvania
As with any medications the effect of GLP-1 medication varies from patient to patient. Your response to GLP-1 may not match the iteming below. This chart is meant to give a general idea of what to expect.
| Month | Semaglutide Timeline |
|---|---|
| ONE | As you adjust to the medication, you may experience side effects like nausea while noticing a reduced appetite and modest weight loss. |
| TWO | Weight loss becomes more noticeable, side effects diminish, and portion control improves as appetite suppression continues. |
| THREE | Steady weight loss, improved energy levels, and enhanced metabolic benefits like better blood sugar regulation become apparent. |
| FOUR | Weight loss may slow or plateau, but healthier eating habits and increased physical activity are more ingrained by this stage. |
| FIVE | Weight loss continues, along with noticeable health improvements like better blood pressure and cholesterol, and fewer food cravings. |
| SIX | By this time, sustained weight loss is achieved, with long-term lifestyle changes solidified and improved confidence due to progress. |
While semaglutide is effective for weight loss, it may cause some side effects as your body adjusts to the medication. These side effects can vary in intensity, and not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:
Most side effects are mild and temporary, often improving as your body gets used to the medication. To minimize discomfort, try eating smaller, low-fat meals and drinking plenty of water.
Medical weight loss is a holistic, doctor-supervised strategy for attaining and sustaining a healthy weight. It involves a customized treatment plan that can involve dietary adjustments, physical activity, behavioral modification, and, if appropriate, prescription drugs like semaglutide.
In addition to losing weight, patients who participate in medical weight loss programs learn how to keep it off.
Many people who have undergone medical treatment for weight loss have achieved excellent results. These programs use tried-and-true methods that go beyond simple diet and exercise to help patients lose weight.
Your virtual consultation will proceed similarly to a conventional doctor's visit. More specifically, the physician will review your medical records, determine if you are a good candidate for semaglutide, and, if appropriate, help you establish realistic weight loss goals.
The Sanctuary Wellness Institute’s weight loss clinic in Altoona, PA prescribes semaglutide via telemedicine. To enable self-administration, we deliver this medication right to our patients' homes.
When you work with the Sanctuary, you’ll be able to obtain your prescription for semaglutide online. Our patients can schedule and attend doctor’s appointments, make payments, and fill their semaglutide prescriptions from the comfort of their own homes.
Semaglutide is not suitable for every patient. For instance, the medication should not be used by those who have a personal or family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) or medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Semaglutide should also not be taken by those with a history of serious gastrointestinal disorders like pancreatitis, as the drug can exacerbate such conditions.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should speak to their doctors before using semaglutide because it has the potential to harm fetuses and newborns. Furthermore, the medication should not be used by anyone who is allergic to semaglutide or any of its components.
Like any medication, semaglutide injections can have side effects. Constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach discomfort are a few of the most common ones. Usually, these effects go away as your body adjusts to the medication.
Still, you should consult your physician before taking semaglutide. Also, while using semaglutide, make sure to let them know if you experience any severe or long-lasting side effects.
Take the first step and schedule a no-obligation initial consultation with out doctor.
