Semaglutide weight loss Harrison, NJ - Revival Wellness Clinic

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for weight loss and diabetes management. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that mimics the effects of GLP-1 hormones naturally produced by the body. Semaglutide helps regulate blood sugar levels, suppresses appetite, and promotes feelings of fullness so you eat less.

The branded version sold under the names Ozempic® and Wegovy® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. Compounded semaglutide formulations are also available and commonly prescribed off-label by weight loss clinics and anti-aging specialists.

At Revival Wellness Clinic in Harrison, we provide customized semaglutide weight loss protocols to help patients achieve safe, steady fat loss and improve their metabolic health.

How Does Semaglutide Promote Weight Loss?

Semaglutide leads to weight reduction through several mechanisms:

• Suppresses appetite signals in the brain so you feel fuller faster and longer
• Slows gastric emptying to curb cravings and decrease calorie intake
• Increases insulin sensitivity and improves blood glucose control
• Boosts metabolism slightly by burning more calories

By blunting appetite and food consumption, semaglutide allows the body to tap into and burn through fat stores. Most patients effortlessly create a calorie deficit without feeling starved or deprived.

Additionally, semaglutide has been shown to:

• Reduce BMI, waist circumference, and body weight
• Lower blood pressure and improve lipid profiles
• Lessen liver fat and inflammation
• Modulate gut hormones that impact weight
• Increase patient compliance with lifestyle changes

Semaglutide Injection Regimens

Semaglutide can be taken as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection - most commonly in the abdomen, thigh, or arm. Daily and twice-weekly protocols are also utilized.

The dosing is steadily increased over 4-8 weeks based on patient tolerability until reaching the optimal maintenance dose. This gradual titration helps minimize temporary nausea and other gastrointestinal side effects as the body adjusts.

At Revival Wellness Clinic, patients receive detailed self-injection teaching and ongoing monitoring for safe, effective semaglutide weight loss regimens tailored to their needs.

We provide both branded Ozempic®/Wegovy® and specialized compounded semaglutide formulations for greater dosing flexibility.

Unlocking the Weight Loss Power of Semaglutide

Semaglutide promotes impressive body recomposition results. Most patients lose 10-15% of their body weight over 6 months of treatment.

However, semaglutide is most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle modifications in what we call META Therapy - Medication, Exercise, Therapy, and nutritional Analysis.

Medication	Semaglutide injections
Exercise	150 minutes per week of moderate physical activity
Therapy	Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Nutritional Analysis	Tracking macros and calories

This comprehensive approach helps patients lose substantial fat mass while protecting muscle. It also promotes sustainable healthy habits to facilitate long-term weight maintenance.
