LOOKING FOR A RELIABLE & TRUSTING DOCTOR TO START YOUR SEMAGLUTIDE DIET? 

The Semaglutide Peptide was approved by the FDA in 2021. A Better You Wellness & Weight Loss Program is proud to offer a new Semaglutide Peptide Therapy.   

WHY IS SEMAGLUTIDE YOUR BEST WEIGHT-LOSS OPTION? 

Most people struggle to lose significant weight. Factors such as eating habits, lifestyle, stress, and available food prevent effective weight loss. In addition, some people have genetic and hormone issues that can lead to significant weight gain.  Semaglutide allows you to achieve great weight-loss results regardless of these factors. Combining Semaglutide with regular exercise and a low-calorie diet will help to achieve the maximum result.  

WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE? 

Our small intestine naturally produces a hormone called glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1). It is responsible for stimulating the secretion of insulin and suppressing glucagon secretion, lowering blood sugar.  Semaglutide is made up of GLP-1. Because of this, Semaglutide is effective in controlling your eating habits and reducing your appetite.  

EXPECTATIONS FROM SEMAGLUTIDE TREATMENT 

Semaglutide is known to have twice the effect as other weight-loss products. Some doctors even compare its effects to the result of gastric bypass surgery.  A study showed that adults achieved 14.9% mean weight loss after receiving weekly Semaglutide treatment after 68 weeks. In addition, 32% of the people lost 20% of their weight, while the rest lost at least 10% of their starting weight.  

YOUR SEMAGLUTIDE CONSULTATION 

During your consultation, we will look over your medical history and evaluate your overall health to see if you are a good candidate for Semaglutide. We will weigh you and perform a physical examination. If your weight-loss goals are realistic, we will then create a treatment plan to help you achieve the desired weight loss.  

BENEFITS OF SEMAGLUTIDE TREATMENT   

-Benefit your cardiovascular system, 

-Help in PCOS treatment

-Reduce other health related issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

We will monitor your progress regularly and adjust the prescription accordingly to ensure your progress follows the weight-loss plan.
