| Month | Semaglutide Benefits |
|---|---|
| ONE | During the adjustment period, you may experience side effects like nausea while noticing a reduced appetite and modest weight loss (around 2-4 pounds). |
| TWO | Weight loss becomes more noticeable (1-2 pounds per week), side effects diminish, and portion control improves as appetite suppression continues. |
| THREE | Steady weight loss (cumulative 8-12 pounds), 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 (potentially 15-20 pounds or more), along with noticeable health improvements like better blood pressure and cholesterol, and fewer food cravings. |
| SIX | By this time, sustained weight loss (10-20% of starting weight) is achieved, with long-term lifestyle changes solidified and improved confidence due to progress. |
Your weight loss doctor will make a dosage plan based on your medical history and overall health after your teleWellness consultation. Typically, patients are started on a lower dosage and as your doctor receives feedback on your progress they may increase your dosage.
Our medical weight loss injections offer a wide range of health benefits that can improve overall wellness and longevity. By targeting excess fat, these injections can significantly reduce the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Each injection includes a unique combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other beneficial ingredients designed to help you reach your weight loss goals. These ingredients work together to speed up your metabolism, suppress appetite, and promote fat loss. When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, these injections can lead to substantial weight loss.
Additionally, the injections can boost energy levels, enhance mental clarity, and reduce stress—key factors in maintaining long-term weight loss.
The weight loss program at Sanctuary Wellness Institute includes a physician consultation, home delivery of the medication, and continuous support from our care team. The cost of the program depends on the medication and dosage selected by you and your doctor, with pricing starting at $75 per week. We currently offer prescriptions for either semaglutide or tirzepatide, with dosing starting at a low level and gradually increasing to maintenance doses.
We aim to make our program as affordable as possible. While we do not accept insurance, we provide payment plans to help spread out the cost over time.
At Sanctuary Wellness Institute, our weight loss programs take a comprehensive approach to weight management. After evaluating your initial weight and setting goals, your physician will work with you to establish a target weight. They will prescribe weight loss medications and guide you on how to maximize the medication's effectiveness through a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Your progress will be closely monitored by your physician, who will assess your response to the medication to ensure healthy weight loss. It is essential to communicate any side effects, such as digestive issues, with your doctor. Depending on the severity of side effects, your doctor might adjust your dosage or propose an alternative treatment plan. Moreover, medical supervision ensures that weight loss happens without compromising skeletal muscle mass, vital for your overall health.
Body weight and composition are influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, and development. People who participate in medical weight loss programs often challenge the idea that achieving a healthy weight is purely a matter of willpower and diet.
Weight loss can be difficult and frustrating. Being part of a medical weight loss program provides a structured approach to track your progress and maintain your motivation.
These programs are valuable because they teach that while diet and exercise are critical, they are not the only components in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Medical weight loss programs take into account the neurological and metabolic factors that affect body weight.
In addition, having a healthcare professional oversee your medications ensures their effectiveness. Doctors can provide guidance on both heart-healthy eating and suitable exercise routines.
Our mission is to provide easily accessible health and wellness services to help our patients live their best lives. Reach out to us to learn more about our services.
Your starting weight, medication, and dosage will all affect how quickly you lose weight. It's critical to adhere to your doctor's instructions so that the drugs can begin slowing digestion and suppressing cravings as soon as possible.
When you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight. You will burn fat and lose weight as you increase your exercise and decrease your consumption. Once they reach the right dosage levels, many patients begin to lose weight quickly.
You can be sure to lose weight at a healthy pace by working with a doctor. If your weight loss is excessively rapid, they can lower your dosage, or increase it if your weight loss is slow or stagnant.
Yes. Medical weight loss programs help ensure adherence to recommended medication practices and provide the support required to implement additional lifestyle changes. Treatment outcomes can differ, but most patients achieve their target weights and achieve healthy BMIs while lowering their odds of developing long-term illnesses like diabetes and heart disease.
Due to the medication’s effects on digestion and metabolism, the most frequent side effects are gastric symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Depending on their biochemistry and the kind of medication taken, each person experiences side effects at different frequencies and intensities.
Notifying your physician of any changes in your health, including gastric side effects, is crucial. If you have these symptoms, they will reevaluate your condition and adjust your dosage or recommend a different medication.
The amount of weight you can lose on semaglutide depends on the calorie deficit the drug brings on. Due to the fact that doctors must gradually increase the dosage, most patients do not lose weight in the first month. However, once patients reach their ideal dosage, their weight loss tends to speed up.
Different medications are effective for different people, but semaglutide and tirzepatide are arguably the most popular weight loss medications. The FDA has approved several different drugs for weight loss, but some are only approved for individuals with diabetes.
