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 Tampa

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

Yes, Semaglutide is an FDA-approved weight loss medication that has demonstrated both safety and effectiveness when used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.

As a prescription-only treatment, Semaglutide must be prescribed by a licensed medical weight loss specialist. At Brisk Wellness, we prioritize patient safety by carefully evaluating each individual to determine their eligibility for this advanced weight loss solution. Our team customizes a treatment plan tailored to your specific weight loss needs and objectives, ensuring a safe and effective journey toward achieving lasting results.


The FDA has recommended Semaglutide for Tampa residents 18 years and older who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or greater and are managing weight-related medical conditions such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Additionally, individuals in Tampa with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher may benefit from Semaglutide for weight loss even without an accompanying medical diagnosis.

However, if you live in Tampa and have a history of conditions such as gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer, Semaglutide may not be the right option for you. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine if this treatment aligns with your health needs.


Every Tampa patient receives a customized Semaglutide treatment plan tailored to their unique weight loss goals. Our approach considers your lifestyle habits, including diet, exercise, overall health, and specific weight loss objectives, ensuring a treatment regimen that works for you.

We closely monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments along the way, helping Tampa residents achieve optimal weight loss results safely and effectively.

 

Many patients begin to see noticeable changes within the first few weeks, with gradual and consistent weight loss taking place over several months. However, each person has unique goals and challenges that may impact their progress, meaning results can differ from one individual to another.

A number of factors influence how a person responds to Semaglutide treatment. These include age, body weight, daily habits, and overall health status. While numerous patients experience significant weight loss and improved A1C levels within weeks, individual results will depend on these varying elements.

Semaglutide is injected just once per week. To ensure you’re comfortable, we’ll walk you through the process, demonstrating the proper technique for home administration or providing the injections in the clinic. Typically, the first injection is given under our supervision at the clinic, after which you can administer future doses at home. It’s essential that you feel fully confident with self-injection. You can choose from multiple injection sites for your comfort, including your thigh, upper arm, or abdomen.

If you forget a dose, reach out to us for specific guidance on the next steps. Sticking to a consistent schedule is essential for the best possible results.
For the best results, Semaglutide should be paired with a balanced diet and consistent physical activity. Our team will provide expert guidance to help you adopt healthier lifestyle habits that work alongside the medication. Making smart dietary choices and committing to regular exercise are key factors in not only achieving your weight loss goals but also maintaining your results in the long run.

Some patients may experience mild side effects from Semaglutide, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or slight abdominal discomfort. While these effects are common, most individuals find that sticking to their personalized treatment plan significantly reduces the chances of experiencing them.

To help your body adjust, your treatment will begin with a low starting dose of 0.25 mg. This gradual introduction allows for better tolerance of the medication while minimizing potential side effects. As you progress through your weight loss journey, your dose may be carefully increased up to 2.4 mg, based on how well you respond to the treatment, to help you achieve the best possible results.

Since every patient’s body responds differently to treatment, the duration of your Semaglutide regimen will be customized to fit your weight loss needs. Your plan is carefully developed by considering your weight loss goals, potential challenges, and personal health factors. However, as your progress is monitored, adjustments may be made to the dosage and timeframe to ensure the best possible outcome. Some individuals may see faster results, while others may require a longer treatment period to achieve their desired weight.

During your consultation, we will assess your goals, provide an estimated timeline for your treatment, and make necessary modifications as your progress unfolds to help you stay on track.
