Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for treating obesity and controlling high blood sugar in diabetes. It is similar to a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that occurs naturally in the body.
Semaglutide works by slowing digestion and reducing appetite, which helps people eat less food and lose weight. It also decreases blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. When used as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan, semaglutide can be highly effective at promoting significant weight loss and improving obesity-related health conditions.
At HopeWell Hormones Clinic, we provide customized semaglutide therapy regimens to help patients achieve their health and wellness goals. With our innovative treatments and excellent patient support, we aim to make semaglutide accessible and easy to integrate into your lifestyle.
The first step before considering semaglutide treatment is getting the right diagnosis. This involves blood tests to check hormone levels, as well as a full health evaluation.
At HopeWell Hormones Clinic, initial assessments include:
Diagnostic testing provides us with the information needed to determine if semaglutide therapy is appropriate and to customize optimal dosing if so. We partner with top specialty labs to provide fully comprehensive hormone testing services.
Semaglutide has been demonstrated in numerous clinical trials to have excellent efficacy for obesity reduction and diabetes control.
