Semaglutide is generally well tolerated.&nbsp; The most common side effects are GI symptoms such as queasiness, nausea, and loose stools.&nbsp; These symptoms usually go away after one or two days and are usually well-tolerated by most.&nbsp; Symptoms may return with dose increases, but, again, they usually resolve in 1-2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-text-color has-background\">Any weight loss program relying on medication alone cannot be trusted to be successful.&nbsp; Semaglutide does cause some weight loss alone, but it is much more effective with some gentle lifestyle changes including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-black-color has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Simple dietary modifications insuring good protein intake and avoiding foods high in fat or with a high &#8220;glycemic index&#8221; (rapidly metabolized to sugar).<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limiting alcohol intake<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low impact exercise like walking, cycling, yoga&#8230;.1\/2 hour or more 3-5 times a week<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintaining water intake of at least 64 ounces every day<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\">Though disappointing, the fact of the matter is there is no &#8220;magic medication&#8221; to cause healthy, sustainable weight loss without some attention to diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes!&nbsp; Think about it&#8230;., if that medication existed, wouldn&#8217;t all of us who are overweight have already used it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-text-color has-background\">The good news is we finally have a useful medication that is safe, effective and works using normal body functions without the discomfort and unhealthy results of simple &#8220;starvation&#8221; types of diets and medications<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$799 Fee includes medication and supplies for 12 weeks, an initial consult, and follow up visits at 6 and 12 weeks.
