How
Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in the body to help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It works by activating areas in the brain responsible for hunger and satiety (feelings of fullness), helping you feel full with smaller portions and reducing overeating.

This treatment involves a once-weekly injection that can be administered at home or in the clinic, depending on your preference. With consistent use, Semaglutide potentially helps promote gradual, sustainable weight loss, paired with guidance to support your overall health goals

What To Expect During
Your Appointment

At Brisk Wellness, your first appointment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Your board-certified physician will discuss your weight management goals, review your medical history, and determine if Semaglutide is the best option for you.

If Semaglutide is recommended, we will explain how to administer the injections at home and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. You also have the option of receiving injections in person at our clinic. 

Regular follow-up visits will track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed. These appointments also include ongoing support for diet and exercise changes to help you get the most from your treatment.

Potential
Side Effects

Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals might experience:

  • Mild nausea or upset stomach, especially at the start of treatment
  • Temporary fatigue or dizziness
  • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

We will address any side effects and make adjustments to help keep you comfortable throughout
the process.

Semaglutide FAQs - Brisk Wellness in Bradenton

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

Yes, Semaglutide has received FDA approval for weight loss and is recognized as a safe and effective treatment when administered under the care of a licensed healthcare provider.

Since it is only available by prescription, Semaglutide must be prescribed by a qualified medical weight loss professional. At Brisk Wellness, we uphold the highest standards of patient safety by carefully assessing whether you are a suitable candidate before initiating treatment. Our team then develops a personalized regimen that aligns with your weight loss objectives, ensuring a medically sound and effective approach.

The FDA has recommended Semaglutide for adults in Bradenton who are 18 or older with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or greater and are managing a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, individuals in Bradenton with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above may use Semaglutide for weight loss without the presence of an additional medical condition.

However, if you live in Bradenton and have a history of gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer, Semaglutide may not be a suitable option. A healthcare provider can help determine if this treatment aligns with your health and weight loss goals.

Patients in Bradenton receive customized Semaglutide treatment plans designed to support their personal weight loss goals. Our process takes into account your nutritional habits, physical activity levels, and overall health to create a treatment approach that suits your needs.

We carefully track your progress and refine your plan as necessary, ensuring that Bradenton residents achieve safe and effective weight loss results.

Many individuals experience early signs of progress within the first few weeks, and long-term weight loss typically develops over several months. However, personal weight loss goals, lifestyle challenges, and medical conditions can all play a role in shaping each individual’s journey.

Your body’s response to Semaglutide depends on a range of factors, such as age, metabolism, daily habits, and overall health. While numerous patients see significant improvements in both weight and A1C levels within weeks, your results will be based on your specific circumstances and commitment to the process.

Semaglutide injections are designed to be convenient, requiring just one injection per week. To ensure you feel confident, we will personally guide you through the process. The first dose is typically administered in the clinic, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and familiarize yourself with the technique. After that, you can comfortably continue at home, choosing from injection sites such as your upper arm, abdomen, or thigh—whichever feels best for you.

Don’t worry if you miss a dose! Just reach out to us as soon as possible for guidance on how to proceed. Regularity is key to getting the best results, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
To get the most out of Semaglutide, it’s important to incorporate healthy eating and regular exercise into your daily routine. We’ll provide personalized recommendations to help you make beneficial lifestyle changes that align with your treatment. These adjustments will not only boost your progress but also help you sustain your weight loss results over time.

Some individuals may notice mild side effects when beginning Semaglutide, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or slight stomach discomfort. Fortunately, most patients can avoid these symptoms by carefully following their personalized treatment plan and allowing their body time to adjust.

To make the transition as smooth as possible, treatment starts at a low dose of 0.25 mg. This slow introduction helps your body acclimate, reducing the chances of discomfort. As your progress is monitored, your dose may be increased gradually, reaching up to 2.4 mg if needed, to help you achieve the best results with minimal side effects.

Because weight loss is a personal journey, the length of Semaglutide treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs. Your treatment plan is designed to align with your individual goals, lifestyle habits, and any weight-related challenges you may face. As your body adapts to the medication, we will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you achieve optimal results. While some patients reach their target weight in a shorter period, others may need additional time to see lasting changes.

At your consultation, we will discuss your weight loss expectations, estimate a treatment timeline, and modify your plan as needed to support your progress every step of the way.
