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 Largo

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

Yes! Semaglutide is FDA-approved for weight loss and has been shown to be both safe and effective when prescribed and monitored by a medical professional.

Since this treatment requires a prescription, a licensed weight loss specialist must determine if it’s the right fit for you. At Brisk Wellness, we put your health first by carefully assessing your eligibility before getting started. Once approved, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your weight loss goals, ensuring you achieve results safely and effectively.

The FDA has recommended Semaglutide for adults in Largo who are 18 years or older and have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or higher, along with at least one weight-related condition such as high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure. Individuals in Largo with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above may also use Semaglutide for weight loss without requiring an additional medical diagnosis.

However, Largo residents with a history of conditions such as gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer may not be eligible for Semaglutide. A consultation with a qualified medical provider can help determine if this treatment is appropriate for your health and weight loss needs.

Largo residents receive Semaglutide treatment plans designed specifically for their weight loss journey. We create a tailored approach by factoring in your lifestyle habits, dietary intake, activity levels, and overall health to ensure a plan that works for you.

By closely tracking your progress and making necessary modifications, we help Largo patients stay on course and achieve lasting weight loss success.

Some people begin noticing weight loss early in their treatment, while for others, progress happens more gradually over the months that follow. Since every person has unique goals and challenges, it’s important to be patient with your own journey and not compare your results to anyone else’s.

Your response to Semaglutide will be influenced by different factors, including your age, weight, daily habits, and overall well-being. While many patients have experienced weight loss and lower A1C levels in just a few weeks, individual results vary, and your journey will unfold at its own pace.

Semaglutide is administered once per week as a subcutaneous injection. We are here to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident with the process. During your initial visit, we will administer the first dose at the clinic and provide step-by-step guidance on self-injection techniques. Whether you prefer to continue receiving injections in-office or self-administer them at home, we tailor the experience to your needs. Additionally, you have the flexibility to choose an injection site that feels most comfortable—common locations include the thigh, upper arm, or abdomen.
If a scheduled injection is missed, it’s important to reach out to us as soon as possible for instructions on how to proceed. Adhering to a consistent dosing schedule ensures the best treatment outcomes.
For Semaglutide to work at its best, it should go hand in hand with good nutrition and regular exercise. We’re here to guide you through making small, meaningful lifestyle changes that will amplify your progress. By focusing on eating well and staying active, you’ll not only see better results but also enjoy lasting success in maintaining a healthier weight.

Some people experience mild side effects when starting Semaglutide, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or slight stomach discomfort. But don’t worry—most patients find that by sticking to their treatment plan, these symptoms are minimal or even nonexistent.

To ease your body into treatment, you’ll start with a small dose of 0.25 mg. This slow introduction helps your system adjust and reduces the risk of side effects. As your weight loss journey progresses and your body responds to the medication, your dosage may be gradually increased up to 2.4 mg to help you achieve the best results.

Your weight loss journey is unique, and the length of your Semaglutide treatment will be customized to meet your personal needs. Your plan is built around your specific goals, current lifestyle, and any factors that may impact your progress. As your body adapts, we will monitor your response and make necessary changes to your treatment plan, ensuring that you stay on track. While some patients experience noticeable results early on, others may require a longer period to reach their desired weight.

During your consultation, we will outline a projected timeline for your treatment, track your progress, and adjust your plan as needed to help you achieve the best results possible.
