Medical weight loss is a safe and effective approach with Proper medical oversight.

The FDA approved semaglutide for diabetic treatment in December 2017, and in 2021, it approved Wegovy (semaglutide) for chronic weight management. [2] Semaglutide is quickly becoming a viable option for people seeking medical help for weight loss who are opposed to invasive bariatric surgery. [3] Semaglutide works by increasing the hormone GLP-1 in the body. [4] GLP-1 is a natural substance that helps to regulate blood sugar levels. By increasing GLP-1 levels, semaglutide can help to control blood sugar levels and improve glycemic control. In clinical trials, semaglutide has improved blood sugar control and helped people with type 2 diabetes lose weight. [5] Get Fit Medical can prescribe semaglutide for our patients with obesity or a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30. In addition, patients who are overweight (BMI 25-29.9) and have medical problems related to their weight are also eligible to receive a prescription.

Medical weight Loss

  • Semaglutide (Ozempic/wegovy)

    Weekly Subcutaenous Injection

    Semaglutide is a modified molecule that is naturally produced in our bodies, called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the medication to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which only last minutes.

    Semaglutide works in the following ways:

    1. Delays how quickly our stomach digests food leading to a feeling of of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.

    2. Slows intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer.

    3. Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.

    4. Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.

    5. Decreasing inflammation throughout the body which leads to Adiponectin release and fat lipolysis.

  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

    Weekly Subcutaneous Injection

    Tirzepatide is a once weekly injectable dual glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the medication to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which only last minutes.

    Tirzepatide works in the following ways:

    1. Delays how quickly the stomach digests food, leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.

    2. Slows intestinal motility so you wil feel fuller longer.

    3. Dual action receptors allow for lower blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.

    4. Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.

    5. GIP increases energy expenditure, resulting in weight loss.
