As obesity has become increasingly more common in the U.S. in the past few decades, many clinics around the country are focused on providing medically supervised weight management programs. Through these specialized programs, patients can overcome obesity in a healthy, safe way.
The best weight management programs offer medical supervision, motivation, and a diet and exercise plan. At Statera, we’re dedicated to helping patients with our medically supervised programs, designed to help any individual safely and effectively reach his or her specific weight-loss goals.
About Weight Loss Solutions
What It Is
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Semaglutide is also FDA-approved for weight loss.
How It Works
Semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon secretion. This leads to better blood sugar control and reduced risk of complications associated with diabetes. Additionally, Semaglutide has been shown to promote weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes. This is because it reduces appetite, slows down the emptying of the stomach, and increases feelings of fullness.
What To Expect
Semaglutide is administered once a week by injection. Work with our Nurse Practitioner to develop your treatment today!
