We offer an affordable semaglutide weight loss program in Pennsylvania
As with any medications the effect of GLP-1 medication will vary 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 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 method of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. It consists of a personalized regimen that can include dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, behavioral modification, and, if necessary, the use of prescription drugs such as semaglutide.
This treatment not only helps patients lose weight, but also teaches them how to keep it off.
Participating in medical weight loss programs has helped many people attain their weight loss goals. These programs facilitate weight loss by utilizing a tried-and-true strategy that extends beyond diet and exercise.
Your online consultation will be similar to a traditional doctor's appointment. More specifically, the doctor will review your medical history, evaluate whether you are a good candidate for semaglutide, and, if necessary, help you set achievable weight loss objectives.
Semaglutide injections are prescribed via telemedicine through the Sanctuary Wellness Institute's weight loss clinic in Pittsburgh, PA. We deliver this medication directly to our patients' homes, allowing them to administer it themselves.
When you choose the Sanctuary, you can complete the entire semaglutide prescription process online. Our patients can fill their semaglutide prescriptions, submit payments, and arrange and attend doctor's visits from the comfort of their own homes.
Semaglutide generates weight loss at a different rate for each user. However, research indicates that weight loss usually begins within the first few weeks of taking the medicine.
The time it takes to lose 20 pounds on semaglutide can vary substantially between patients based on their metabolic rates, physical activity, and nutrition. However, research shows that semaglutide users lose about five pounds per month, meaning the average user would need about four months to drop 20 pounds.
The duration of your semaglutide treatment will be determined by your objectives, how your body reacts to the drug, and your doctor's advice. In general, though, semaglutide is used to help people lose weight in the long-term. Patients often use the medication for several months, a year, or even longer.
Your doctor should decide the length of your treatment based on how your body reacts to semaglutide and how rapidly you lose weight on it.
Semaglutide is not suitable for everyone. People with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) should avoid taking the drug. Semaglutide is also not recommended for patients with a history of severe gastrointestinal diseases like pancreatitis because it can exacerbate such conditions.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before using semaglutide, as the medicine can pose a risk to the health of fetuses and babies. Additionally, individuals who are allergic to semaglutide or any of its components should not use it.
Though semaglutide fosters weight loss, including the loss of visceral fat around the abdomen, users must exercise consistently and eat a well-balanced diet to see marked results. Semaglutide is not a miracle drug that will eliminate belly fat on its own, but it can help you shed such fat when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
Take the first step and schedule a no-obligation initial consultation with out doctor.
