What are the benefits?
Weight loss is about more than fitting into smaller jeans. By maintaining a healthy weight, you could improve your mobility and mood, and you’ll also lower your risk for serious illnesses.
People may want to manage back pain, fight pre-diabetes or look better for a big event. Other benefits of weight loss can
include:
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower levels of triglycerides
- Less risk of heart disease
- Improved mobility and reduced pain
- Better sex and less erectile dysfunction
- Improved mood
- Better sleep
- Higher self-esteem
- Improved insulin resistance

Though a better mood and sleep aren’t always simple to track, there’s no doubt that weight loss can have a quantifiable impact.
​
Why is weight loss so hard?
Even given the many benefits, most people struggle to lose pounds and keep them off. The difficulties they encounter have almost nothing to do with willpower or motivation. Factors that may influence a person’s weight include:
- Genetics
- Medications
- Hormones
- Metabolism
If you do lose weight, you may be surprised by how easy it is to regain it all. Your body is hardwired to protect you, and it may perceive prolonged dieting as a kind of starvation.
​
How does weight loss management program work?
Before undergoing any weight loss program, an evaluation with our physicians is required, because each person has a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired goal. One of the most effective treatments for weight loss are semaglutide injections. These injections are given once a week under the supervision of a physician.
​
What is Semaglutide?
​
Semaglutide is a human-based glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist prescribed as an adjunct to a reduced calorie
diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) that is considered outside a healthy range.
​
What is recommended to do while using Semaglutide?
​
While using Semaglutide, it is highly recommended that you:
- Eat a fibrous diet. Focus on fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber
- Eat small high protein meals as digestion is slowed down while on this medication
- Avoid foods high in fat as they take longer to digest
- Limit alcohol intake as this medication can lower blood pressure
- Drink at least 32oz of water a day to avoid constipation

- You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (Thyroid Cancer).
- Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.
- You are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while taking this medicine.

with your doctor.
