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.
Medical weight loss injections provide various health advantages that can enhance your overall wellness and longevity. By specifically targeting excess fat, these injections can greatly lower the risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, high cholesterol, and hypertension.
Each injection is crafted with a blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other beneficial ingredients, designed to support your weight loss goals. This powerful formulation accelerates your metabolism, curbs appetite, and promotes fat loss. When paired with a nutritious diet and regular exercise, these injections can result in significant weight loss.
In addition to supporting weight loss, these injections can also increase your energy, improve mental clarity, and alleviate stress—all crucial for sustaining a healthy weight over time.
The weight loss program at the Sanctuary Wellness Institute features a consultation with a physician, home delivery of medication, and ongoing assistance from our care team. The program's price depends on the medication and dosage chosen by you and your doctor, usually starting at $75 per week. Our doctors currently prescribe either semaglutide or tirzepatide, beginning with a low dose that is gradually increased until it reaches a maintenance level.
We work to make our program as cost-effective as possible. While we do not accept insurance, we offer payment plans to help you manage the expenses over time.
The weight loss programs at the Sanctuary Wellness Institute take a holistic approach to managing weight. After assessing your starting weight and setting objectives, your physician will collaborate with you to determine a target weight. They will prescribe weight loss medications and advise you on how to enhance your health and maximize the effectiveness of the medication through a balanced diet and exercise routine.
Your physician will track your progress, evaluate your response to the medication, and ensure that your weight loss occurs in a healthy manner. It’s crucial to address any possible side effects, like gastrointestinal problems, with your doctor. Depending on the severity of side effects, your doctor might adjust your dosage or recommend an alternative treatment plan. Moreover, managing your weight with medical oversight helps prevent the loss of skeletal muscle, which is vital for your overall well-being.
Body weight and composition are influenced by three main factors: genetics, environment, and development. Individuals participating in medical weight loss programs often challenge the belief that reaching a healthy weight depends solely on willpower and diet.
Weight loss can be a challenging and at times frustrating experience. Being part of a medical weight loss program offers the necessary framework to monitor your progress and keep your motivation high.
These programs are also beneficial because they teach patients that, although diet and exercise play a crucial role, they are not the only components in achieving and sustaining a healthy weight. Medical weight loss programs take into account the neurological and metabolic aspects that impact body weight.
Additionally, having a healthcare professional oversee the effectiveness of your medications is a significant advantage. Doctors can also offer advice on heart-healthy eating and appropriate exercise plans.
As with any medications the effect of GLP-1 medication will varie from patient to patient. Your response to GLP-1 may not match the tieming 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.
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.
Take the first step and schedule a no-obligation initial consultation with out doctor.
