What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide helps with weight loss and regulates blood sugar by mimicking a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies, known as a GLP-1 analog. It works by boosting insulin production, decreasing glucagon secretion, and targeting areas in the brain responsible for regulating appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule enables the drug to persist for weeks, compared to the body’s version which lasts minutes.

Semaglutide works by:

• Slowing stomach digestion, promoting fullness and satisfaction with smaller meals.
• Extending post-meal fullness by reducing intestinal motility.
• Lowering blood sugar levels, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
• Stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas.
• Reducing inflammation throughout the body, fostering Adiponectin release and fat breakdown.

Semaglutide/B12 Dosing

Jewell Aesthetic Med Spa recommends using variable dose vials to achieve the lowest effective dose, even if it deviates from the dosing schedule. This helps to limit side effects and improves adherence.

Side Effects & Contraindications

The most common side effects include nausea and constipation. Patients also report acid reflux, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, all of which can usually be managed. The risk of serious side effects increases in patients with hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and risk of allergic reactions.

This medication is not insulin and should not be used if you have type 1 diabetes or if you develop diabetic ketoacidosis. Semaglutide should not be used with any other GLP-1 medications. If you or any family members have been diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 or Medullary thyroid cancer, you should not take Semaglutide. If you have previously been diagnosed with pancreatitis, please consult with your provider.

Other Medical Weight Loss Options

Jewell Aesthetic Med Spa offers Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) as an alternative medical weight loss injection to Semaglutide. Tirzepatide is a once-weekly dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. It works by mimicking the actions of incretin hormones GIP and GPL-1, which help regulate blood sugar levels. By targeting both receptors, Tirzepatide aims to provide better glycemic control and potentially promote more weight loss.

Tirzepatide is typically more expensive but may have less side effects and potentially result in faster weight loss. In your consultation with Hillary Jewell, NP, she will go over all of your options for you to choose which weight loss program is right for you.

Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss Tips

• Eat smaller portions. Eating too much can cause side effects like nausea, heartburn, or diarrhea.
• Avoid fatty foods, processed foods, and foods with added sugar. These foods are hard to digest and can cause side effects, most commonly nausea. Eating foods high in protein and low in carbs is key.
• Drink a lot of water. It’s recommended to have 8-10 8oz glasses of water a day to stay hydrated and help avoid constipation.
• Keep alcohol intake at a minimum. Alcohol can irritate your stomach while on Semaglutide and may cause sugar levels to become too low.
• Engage in regular exercise and invest in lifestyle changes while reaching your weight loss goals Create the mindset and new habits to keep the weight off.
