Ozempic

Why Choose Ozempic for Weight Loss?

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription medication initially developed and approved by the FDA in 2017 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a type of drug that mimics the action of a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) —a natural hormone your body produces after eating. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. When used at higher doses, as in weight management, it has multiple effects that support substantial and sustained weight loss.

Over time, clinical trials and real-world evidence began to show significant weight loss benefits in patients using Ozempic—even in those without diabetes. As a result, semaglutide was further studied and eventually approved under a different brand name, Wegovy, specifically for weight loss.

Clinical trials have shown significant weight loss with semaglutide: In the STEP 1 and STEP 2 trials, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2021), non-diabetic adults with obesity lost up to 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks, while those with type 2 diabetes also saw meaningful—though slightly less—weight reduction, highlighting semaglutide’s effectiveness across diverse populations.

How Does Ozempic Work for Weight Loss?

Appetite Suppression

GLP-1 slows gastric emptying and interacts with appetite centers in the brain, making you feel full longer.

Reduced Calorie Intake

People tend to eat less due to reduced hunger and early satiety.

Improved Blood Sugar Control

Stabilized blood sugar can prevent insulin spikes that contribute to fat storage.

Delayed Gastric Emptying

Slows how quickly food leaves the stomach, prolonging feelings of fullness.

How Our Ozempic Weight Loss Program Works?

Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

Before starting, you’ll undergo a thorough medical assessment under the guidance of Dr. Adonis Saremi to determine if Ozempic is right for you. This typically includes:

Member’s weight loss journey
Body Mass Index (BMI) analysis
Medical history/ Surgical history review (esp. thyroid, pancreas, or gallbladder issues)
Lab tests (e.g., blood glucose, thyroid function, lipids, kidney/liver health)
Review of weight-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, PCOS, etc.
Allergies
Current medications and contraindications
Family and social history
Blood pressure & Pulse

Personalized Treatment Plan

Once cleared, we create a customized weight loss plan based on your:

Health profile
Weight loss goals
Lifestyle and dietary habits
Existing medications

The plan includes Ozempic injections along with guidance on nutrition, exercise, and behavioral habits. Please note that the cost of the medication is not included in the program and will depend on your health insurance coverage or willingness to pay out of pocket at your preferred pharmacy.

Ozempic (Semaglutide) Prescription & Titration

Next, Dr. Adonis Saremi provides an individualized Ozempic regimen. The dosage typically starts at 0.25 mg once weekly and is gradually increased over several months to a maintenance dose of 1 mg or up to 2.4 mg.

(Note: 2.4 mg is FDA-approved under Wegovy for weight loss. Additionally, off-label treatment with generic medications such as metformin, bupropion, naltrexone, topiramate, and others may be considered but with ethical and safety considerations.)

Transition & Maintenance Phase

After reaching your weight loss goals, we help you maintain the results. Through tailored dosing, continued lifestyle coaching, and proven relapse-prevention strategies, our maintenance phase keeps you motivated, supported, and on track—so the weight stays off for good.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching

Ozempic works best when paired with expert support. Our program includes meal planning, portion control strategies, and protein guidance to preserve muscle during fat loss, ensuring a safe, sustainable transformation.

Physical Activity Planning

We also offer customized activity recommendations suited to your level, incorporating light-to-moderate exercise to boost metabolism and muscle tone. With tools like step goals and activity tracking, staying active becomes easy and rewarding.

Ongoing Medical Supervision

Members will receive weekly check-ins via secure messaging and monthly telemedicine visits with Dr. Adonis to ensure consistent support, accountability, and progress tracking. During these sessions, Dr. Adonis will:

Evaluate the member’s overall well-being and response to treatment
Review any updates to the medical history
Monitor weight loss trends and lifestyle habits
Assess for potential side effects
Provide guidance on nutrition and physical activity

Treatment plans will be adjusted as clinically necessary to optimize results and maintain safety.

What Results Can You Expect?

Weight Loss Outcomes

Individuals using semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks. This is significantly greater than the 2.4% weight loss observed in the placebo group (report published in NEJM, 2021), which means you can expect to lose 5% or more of your body weight within the first 12 weeks.

Metabolic and Health Improvements

Semaglutide not only supports weight loss but also leads to clinically meaningful improvements in metabolic health.

For individuals with type 2 diabetes, the SUSTAIN-7 trial (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2018) demonstrated that semaglutide lowered HbA1c levels by approximately 1.4%, outperforming other GLP-1 receptor agonists like dulaglutide.
Even in non-diabetic populations, semaglutide has been shown to reduce insulin resistance, fasting glucose, and postprandial blood sugar levels.
Weight loss induced by semaglutide also results in reductions in waist circumference and visceral adiposity.

These changes suggest that semaglutide may offer broader cardiometabolic benefits beyond weight loss alone.

Behavioral and Appetite Effects

Ozempic works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and satiety. Research (van Can et al., Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2014) shows that semaglutide reduces food intake by acting on brain areas responsible for hunger, delaying gastric emptying, and promoting feelings of fullness. Hence, you can expect a reduced appetite and fewer cravings, especially for high-fat, high-sugar foods. Many users feel full sooner and snack less, particularly in the evening. These effects support better adherence to calorie-restricted diets and healthier eating habits. While appetite suppression often fades after stopping the medication, sustained behavioral changes can help maintain weight loss in the long term.
