Medical Weight Loss Injections in Frisco, CO

Semaglutide is a type of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medication originally developed to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in the body that affects blood sugar, digestion, and appetite. In recent years, semaglutide has also been approved for weight loss management because it effectively helps reduce hunger and cravings, making it easier to adopt and maintain healthier eating habits.

As a weekly injectable medication, semaglutide is taken once a week, helping users experience steady, sustained support in managing appetite and promoting gradual weight loss. Our team at Ebert Family Clinic carefully monitors dosage and response to ensure you receive the maximum benefits with minimal side effects.

Initial Consultation and Personalized Plan

• During your first visit, our medical team will conduct a comprehensive health assessment, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs. We will evaluate if semaglutide is right for you and set clear, achievable milestones.

Gradual Weight Loss

• Semaglutide works by influencing hormones that regulate appetite, which can help you feel fuller and longer and reduce cravings. Most patients see gradual, sustainable weight loss combined with lifestyle and dietary modifications we’ll guide you through.

Regular Monitoring and Adjustments

• Weekly face-to-face visits with your physician or nurse practitioner allow us to monitor your progress and adjust your dosage as needed for optimal results. Routine lab work will ensure your health and safety throughout your weight loss journey.

Side Effect Management

• Some patients may experience mild side effects such as nausea, which is normal and typically temporary. At Ebert Family Clinic, we provide medications to help reduce common side effects associated with GLP-1 treatments, ensuring you’re comfortable as you work toward your goals.

Enhanced Support with IV Supplements

• In addition to the semaglutide injections, we offer a variety of IV supplements and vitamins to support your body’s nutritional needs, boost energy, and enhance overall wellness. This can be particularly helpful if you have increased activity levels or nutritional gaps as you work toward your weight loss goals.

Ongoing Support and Communication

• You’ll have constant access to our medical team via our secure patient portal, allowing communication between visits. Our clinicians are here to provide guidance, answer questions, and adjust your plan as needed.

Semaglutide treatments offer numerous benefits when used as part of a comprehensive weight loss management strategy with clinical trials showcasing its effectiveness. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Significant weight loss. The most notable benefit of semaglutide is its ability to promote substantial weight loss. According to several studies, individuals taking semaglutide have seen greater reductions in body weight compared to those using other weight loss medications or lifestyle changes alone.
• Improved fullness. As mentioned, semaglutide slows down digestion and increases feelings of fullness after eating, which results in the patient consuming less food, thus less calories, which drives weight loss.
• Better metabolic health. In addition to weight loss, semaglutide positively impacts overall metabolic health, by improving glycemic control and lipid profiles.
• Long-term maintenance of weight loss. 90% of people who lose significant amounts of weight will regain it. Semaglutide helps with long-term results, by supporting sustained weight loss over longer periods when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

Semaglutide may be an excellent option for many individuals looking to lose weight, but it isn’t suitable for everyone. Here’s what we consider to determine if you’re a good candidate:

• BMI and weight-related health concerns. Semaglutide is often recommended for individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher who have weight-related health issues, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Those with a BMI over 30 may also be good candidates, even without additional health concerns.
• Commitment to lifestyle changes. Semaglutide works best as part of a holistic approach to weight loss. If you’re motivated to incorporate dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, and other healthy lifestyle changes, this medication may be an effective tool.
• Medical history and current medications. During your initial consultation, our team will review your medical history and any current medications you are taking. Certain health conditions may make semaglutide less suitable, and we will discuss any potential risks or interactions.
• Ability to attend weekly in-person visits. Our program emphasizes weekly, in-person consultations to ensure that you’re progressing safely and effectively. If you’re able to attend these visits and communicate regularly via our patient portal, you’re in a great position to benefit from our program’s full support.
• Comfort with injectable medication. Semaglutide is administered as a weekly injection, so comfort with injectable medication is important. Our team of licensed physicians and nurse practitioners administers all injections, providing a safe and supportive experience.

If you meet these criteria, semaglutide may be an effective option to help you reach your weight loss goals. Schedule a consultation with us to discuss your specific needs and see if this program is right for you.

Effective Appetite Control

• Semaglutide helps regulate hunger hormones, making it easier to feel full after smaller portions and reducing cravings for unhealthy foods. This can support lasting, healthy eating habits that contribute to sustained weight loss.

Gradual, Sustainable Weight Loss

• Unlike fad diets or extreme regimens, semaglutide promotes steady, safe weight loss, which is more likely to be maintained over time. Combined with lifestyle and dietary changes, semaglutide can help you achieve weight loss goals without drastic calorie restriction or intense exercise.

Improved Metabolic Health

• Many patients see improvements in markers of metabolic health, such as blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, which can reduce the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Boosted Confidence and Energy

• As you progress in your weight loss journey, you may experience increased energy levels, improved mood, and a boost in confidence, which can support a more active, fulfilling lifestyle.

Personalized Medical Support

• At Ebert Family Clinic, we support your weight loss with weekly check-ins, lab monitoring, and a focus on overall wellness. Our team provides dietary guidance, side effect management, and access to additional wellness services like IV vitamin therapy, ensuring the body has the support it needs throughout your journey.
