What is Semaglutide Obesity Treatment?
Semaglutide (also known by brand names Wegovy® or Ozempic®) is an obesity medication that works by making you feel fuller longer reducing your appetite and cravings. Semaglutide injections have been gaining popularity due to how safe and effective it is at helping people lose weight without the challenges of hunger or restrictive dieting.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist. It works by mimicking the natural hormone of GLP-1, which binds to receptors located in the stomach and slows the emptying of the stomach helping you feel full. This reduces your food intake and decreases your appetite, two things that are necessary for weight loss.
Semaglutide also helps to regulate your blood sugar by acting on the pancreas encouraging it to produce insulin. This helps control your blood sugar levels, which also plays an important role in regulating hunger. It allows your body to break down food and fat more efficiently helping to boost your metabolism for dramatic weight loss results.
Why Choose the Semaglutide Obesity Treatment Program at Vitality Internal Medicine?
What makes Vitality Internal Medicine's semaglutide obesity treatment program one of the best in Arizona? Our program combines obesity treatment medications with diet, exercise and mindset coaching to help you lose the weight and keep it off.
Our program begins with our weight loss doctors slowly increasing your dose of semaglutide over time to reach the optimal dosage for weight loss. This slow increase will help to avoid unwanted side effects, such as nausea, and help make your weight loss journey as comfortable as possible.
Then we provide you with MIC (methionine, inositol and choline) + vitamin B12 injections to facilitate weight loss and boost energy. MIC is known as a "fat-burner" and helps the body breakdown fat and use food for energy more efficiently. Vitamin B12 improves your mood and energy levels allowing you to stay motivated during your weight loss journey.
Our medical weight loss experts will also help you identify the diet and exercise program that is specific for you and your body’s needs. We also focus on helping you change your mindset around your weight loss and overall health. We believe that a positive weight loss mindset is essential to for your success. While semaglutide and MIC B12 medications are effective on their own, healthy lifestyle changes and a positive mindset will help you achieve the healthy, fulfilling life you deserve.
