Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss:
Significant Weight Loss: Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide can help individuals lose up to 15% or more of their initial body weight.
Appetite Control: Semaglutide works by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness, making it easier to adhere to a calorie-controlled diet.
Improved Blood Sugar Control: Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, semaglutide helps improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with weight-related health conditions.
Long-Lasting Effects: Semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection, offering a convenient and sustained approach to weight loss.
Reduction in Cardiovascular Risk: Semaglutide has been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in individuals with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk.
Positive Impact on Metabolic Health: By aiding in weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity, semaglutide contributes to better overall metabolic health, potentially reducing the risk of developing obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes.
Support for Long-Term Weight Management: When combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity, semaglutide can help individuals achieve and maintain long-term weight loss.
Customized Dosing: Semaglutide dosage can be adjusted based on individual response, allowing for a personalized approach to weight loss treatment.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications used to aid in weight loss. They belong to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide) and dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists (tirzepatide). These medications work by mimicking the effects of natural hormones that regulate appetite and glucose metabolism. They help reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and improve insulin sensitivity, leading to reduced calorie intake and gradual weight loss.
Eligibility for semaglutide or tirzepatide is typically determined based on factors such as your body mass index (BMI), overall health, and weight loss goals. These medications are generally prescribed for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher who have weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. During your consultation at Off Coast Wellness, we’ll assess your health and determine if semaglutide or tirzepatide is an appropriate option for you.
Weight loss results with semaglutide or tirzepatide can vary depending on individual factors such as your adherence to the treatment plan, diet, and physical activity level. However, clinical studies have shown that many individuals experience significant weight loss when using these medications, with some losing up to 15% or more of their initial body weight over several months. At Off Coast Wellness, we’ll monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
