It is important to us that our patients are comfortable throughout this entire program. We spend time discussing expectations, goals and concerns with each of our clients. Then, together we create a plan that fits YOU.
We understand that each person's body is different which may result in each person responding differently to medications. We do not use a general dosing schedule as we found this does not always yield the best results, instead we talk to you on a weekly basis about your experience then dose appropriately to maximize results while minimizing side effects.
We know you are busy and sometimes it is easier to pick up the phone , type out a quick text and send, so thats what we do. Full access to your provider via chat.
Some clinics perform the consultation then leave the pharmacy ordering to you which can be a nightmare communicating between both the pharmacy and the office. We manage all shipments of medication for you, so you can keep your peace of mind during your busy schedule.

Semaglutide (The Weight Loss Peptide) injection is a treatment for obesity. It’s proven highly effective in clinical trials. It is administered through an injection (generally in the thigh) and is taken once per week. In order to take semaglutide, you’ll need to plan on weekly trips to your healthcare provider or be comfortable giving yourself injections.
Patients on semaglutide have reported losing as much as 80lbs, with clinical trials showing patients losing an average of 12.4% of their body weight over 68 weeks.
Patients must start semaglutide with a lower dose and gradually increase the dosage over 16-20 weeks in order to reduce the gastrointestinal side effects.
There are significant benefits with this game changer medication.

All of the medications are essentially the same.
By mimicking the naturally occurring peptide hormone known as GLP-1, Semaglutide produces weight loss by stimulating insulin release and effectively reducing appetite.
1. Stimulating insulin release results in better stabilization in blood sugars which is an essential part of weight loss
2. Semaglutide not only reduces appetite but increases the satisfaction after eating. Even if you do not have a full stomach, the medication acts on the receptors in the stomach and the brain that are responsible for satiety (satisfaction after eating).
The Semaglutide Weight Loss Program works best with a low carb diet. A thorough discussion of dietary recommendations will be discussed with you by our providers.
Although Semaglutide is a safe therapy approved by the FDA for weight loss, it is not safe if you have any of the following:

Our recommendation is to continue the medication until you reach your goal weight.
If you want to take a deep dive into the clinical trial that led to the FDA approving Semaglutide as the first weight loss drug in 15 years, you can find it here.
But we thought you may also want to read a quick summary:
Another article titled Semaglutide for Weight Loss discovered that in addition to weight loss as discussed above, 40-50% of trial participants reported an improved quality of life.

Generally speaking, it is not. However there are some plans/policies that may cover weight loss medications and therefore possibly cover semaglutide. For others, you may work with a provider who will send a letter to your insurance company on your behalf to attempt approval. Realistically, insurance companies are typically about 4 years behind in approving new drugs. At Versatile Therapeutics, we do not accept insurance.
