Our provider Julie Bumpus NP is pleased to offer the Semaglutide Weight Loss Program. We focus on health and wellness, and we want you to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way.  Semaglutide mimics a health-promoting, naturally occurring peptide in the body (GLP-1). Studies have shown it reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings, in addition to improving blood sugar control. It works best with personalized lifestyle changes. 

First, we want to assure you that Semaglutide is NOT a stimulant, so you do not have to worry about unpleasant side effects like not being able to sleep or having the jitters.

Semaglutide is a small protein (peptide) that activates metabolic pathways in the body to increase blood sugar metabolism and reduce appetite. It imitates a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). You may have heard of Semaglutide before. It has been used to help treat type 2 diabetes under the brand names Ozempic ® and Saxenda®. 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Semaglutide to be used to treat type-2 diabetes in 2017. Further research and studies have shown that Semaglutide is also suitable for losing weight, and in June of 2021, it was FDA-approved for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy®.

We do not prescribe Semaglutide under the brand names associated with treating type 2 diabetes or weight loss listed above. We start all of our clients off at a lower, compounded dose for the first month and then increase the dosage for the second and third months, respectively. Our compounded medication also includes Vitamin B-6 to help with some of the potential side effects.

Semaglutide reduces your appetite and makes you feel fuller for longer periods of time. It also keeps you in “fat-burning” mode. Because Semaglutide targets fat cells and regulates blood sugar, you don’t have to worry about losing muscle mass or dehydration (water weight loss).

Semaglutide has also been shown to help stop the production of plaque in blood vessels.

Our program is three months long. There are no food restrictions. However, if you are not eating a healthy diet, you will not feel good while on the diet. If you eat healthier, you will feel much better and have higher energy levels. We recommend incorporating proteins and nutrient-dense foods into your daily diet. While exercise is not mandatory with this program, we recommend you start to incorporate an exercise regime into your lifestyle because of the health benefits. If you aren’t used to exercising, walking can be the perfect way to start. 

The physical benefit of Semaglutide is that it WILL reduce your appetite and make you feel fuller, so you eat less. 

• Physical hunger is gone
• Better sleep
• Higher energy levels
• Helps with insulin pathways and blood sugar levels
• The more momentum you gain, the better you will feel
• On average, you can expect to lose 15% of your body weight

Clients typically see a weight loss of 1 to 3 pounds per week. However, that can vary depending on the weight of the client. Clients who have more weight to lose can see greater results.
