Semaglutide
What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that helps regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar. At WeightSmart MD, we prescribe and monitor semaglutide safely, adjusting doses as your body responds.
How Semaglutide Helps You Lose Weight
- Reduces hunger and food cravings
- Delays gastric emptying (longer fullness)
- Improves blood sugar balance
- Clinical trials show up to ~14% body weight reduction in 6 months
Who is a Candidate?
Patients with weight-related conditions (hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, etc.). All treatment decisions are physician-directed after full evaluation.
Initial Appointment: Meet directly with Dr. Roberts for evaluation and program planning.
Results Timeline: Results vary; many patients notice benefits in the first few weeks.
Treatment Cost: Standard starting dose with titration as needed; pricing reflects dose required for success (no one-size-fits-all).
