If you have decided to begin Semaglutide at Vita Pure, here is what you can expect as your life changes in wonderful ways.
Deciding to reclaim your health is the best decision you can make as your health is priceless! There is a quote that says, “You think you have problems until your health is the problem, then you only have one,” and we couldn’t agree more.
We are so excited to see you take control of something that, for most people, has become the mountain that seems insurmountable.
Most Vita Pure patients achieve goal weight loss within 17-20 weeks of beginning Semaglutide treatment and many elect to continue with a maintenance dose while they institute permanent lifestyle and diet changes. Many patients experience some regain after coming off the medication but can mitigate this by staying on a maintenance dose until their weight levels off and they feel comfortable in their habits.
At your first weight loss consultation, one of our providers will discuss your goals and answer any questions you may have about whether or not this medication is the right choice for you. We will also pull blood for initial labwork to look for contraindications and get an overall picture of your health. This includes a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Blood Panel, your AIC, and Lipase.
Our provider will explain exactly what those results mean. We will also get your initial weight and body measurements and perform an InBody scan, which accurately measures body fat, muscle composition, and visceral fat. At this point one of our providers will review your medical history and decide if they can clear you to begin your Semaglutide treatment.
We pride ourselves on knowledgeable, compassionate staff who are passionate about your health. They are happy to answer any questions or concerns. At your 12th week appointment, we will repeat labs and InBody scans to ensure your safety and evaluate whether the medication is still right for your goals.
Your first appointment is your longest and will take approximately 30-45 minutes. If you have no concerns, follow-up appointments average about 15 minutes. During follow-up appointments, we will take your current weight, ask questions about side effects, and offer encouragement in diet and exercise modifications. Your weekly dose will be administered by one of our medically trained staff.
Side effects are one of our most common questions. They will vary from person to person, but the most reported include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and appetite suppression. Our staff will discuss how other patients have been able to lessen these effects.
The benefits of this medication are hard to quantify, but they become more apparent the longer this drug stays on the market. The most evident benefit is weight loss, but the myriad of positive benefits include improved mental health, cardiovascular health, reduced risk of cancer, and a return to active hobbies.
In addition to the peptide therapy regimen of Semaglutide, we also offer injections that help you achieve weight loss and improve overall health. We test your vitamin D levels and B12 levels to tailor what injections we offer in conjunction with Semaglutide. We also offer Lipo-Mino Shots to help detox the liver and improve metabolic functions. In addition to the vitamin injections, we offer IV therapy that offers immediate improvement in hydration and energy levels. Our staff will listen to your concerns and help tailor a regimen that enables you to feel your very best.
