A medication used to address weight gain or obesity, Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates insulin and appetite. It is an effective option for weight loss without the extreme dieting or invasive procedures often used. Research studies have shown that Semaglutide can result in weight loss of up to 15-20% of starting body weight.
This injectable works the same as other brand name Semaglutide weight loss drugs but is more affordable. It can be obtained without supply chain interruptions – and at a fraction of the normal costs you would pay for the brand name drugs. Compounded medications have another advantage: they can be formulated to your doctor’s precise specifications.
Semaglutide works by delaying the digestive process. It provides a longer lasting feeling of fullness after eating – and that’s just one way it makes it so much easier for patients to lose weight. Originally developed to address diabetes by stimulating insulin release and regulating blood glucose levels, Semaglutide proved so effective with weight loss, it eventually received FDA approval for obesity as well as diabetes. By regulating appetite and insulin, the weight loss results have been game changing in medical weight loss.
Our approach to weight loss is designed to correct the underlying cause(s) of your chronic conditions or symptoms, including your weight concerns. Our medical team doesn’t look at your weight issues as a character defect or a personal failure. Instead, Dr. Rubin believes it’s essential to understand that weight gain is an untreated medical condition – and that treating it as one can make all the difference.
Dr. Rubin has a deep understanding of both conventional and functional medicine options for treatment and studies your overall health and specific conditions that might be related to your weight. He considers whether a medical condition - like thyroid disease, PCOS or hormonal imbalances – might be at the root. He looks at whether your weight gain might be a side effect of a medication. Are you suffering with an eating disorder – or is it a series of poor eating habits you’ve developed? Could your weight gain be related to endocrine disruptors?
Weight gain, in many cases, is not just a result of poor dietary choices and a lack of exercise. Understanding what is causing your weight gain holds the key to reversing the trend and losing the weight finally and for good. Our functional medicine approach means we work to understand the root cause of your weight issues, rather than just treating the symptom of excess weight.
That’s why comprehensive medical evaluation is so important, as is a profoundly effective medication like Semaglutide. Our Semaglutide Weight Loss program will transform your health – and your life!
