Ozempic has risen in popularity and inquiry due to celebrities and the media promoting its healthy lifestyle and weight loss benefits. With its highly sought-after success in weight loss and management, many people have started seeking treatment. Ozempic is FDA-approved to treat individuals with Type 2 diabetes, and weight loss is a beneficial side effect. While everybody is different and weight is unique to each individual, obesity or extreme amounts of extra weight can pose risks to a person’s life. Diet and exercise are not always optimal for those trying to lose weight. While everyone can benefit from a healthy lifestyle, many struggle to lose weight due to things such as medical conditions, genetic makeup, or difficult circumstances preventing a healthy lifestyle.
Northwest Face & Body is now offering patients an Ozempic supported weight loss program which enriches their lives and creates a healthier lifestyle if medically appropriate for that patient.
Ozempic is a new and revolutionary prescription approved to treat type 2 diabetes and helps those predisposed to heart attack or stroke and obesity. Ozempic can help people lose weight, which can reduce the risk for many other serious health conditions, such as heart problems.
Ozempic’s active ingredient is semaglutide, which is a component that imitates the GLP-1 hormone that sends messages to your brain, informing it when you are full. Ozempic acts as an appetite suppressant, preventing patients from overeating without having to partake in unsafe binge diets or restrictive eating. It slows down the processes used to digest food and keeps you satisfied longer. Primarily, Ozempic regulates blood sugar levels by preventing the liver from overproducing sugar. Finally, it regulates insulin levels and promotes collagen production.
There are both benefits and risks to taking the Ozempic, but the benefits are vast, while the risks are minimal and rare. Staying informed on both the benefits and potential side effects or risks is critical for Seattle patients before making a decision. Northwest Face & Body will ensure patients can safely take Ozempic through an in-depth consultation, and the practitioner will help create the best plan for each patient.
Although risks of Ozempic are extremely rare and side effects are generally temporary and manageable, here are some potential side effects and risks patients should consider:
The risks are extremely rare, and the side effects can be managed through vitamin supplements provided by your practitioner. The benefits of Ozempic are life-altering and far outweigh the risks. Here are some of the incredible benefits of the Ozempic weight loss program.
Achieving a healthier weight and lifestyle can be difficult for many people, which is why Northwest Face & Body created an all-encompassing program to optimize the results of Ozempic. This program does not only include a prescription for Ozempic but nutritional and workout programs to guide patients through their weight loss journey. The Northwest Face & Body practitioners understand that weight loss should not be an intimidating, fast-paced course with dangerous diets or extreme workouts. They understand how to cultivate healthy, long-term habits while utilizing the benefits of Ozempic. Your practitioner will begin with an in-depth consultation to ensure you can safely take Ozempic and then schedule monthly follow-up appointments to track your progress and help you achieve your goals.
Patients are assessed individually to determine if they are a candidate for Ozempic during a consultation. Ozempic is only approved for patients with Type-2 diabetes. Wegovy or other alternatives may also be an option for the individual patient if weight loss is the desired result. Consultations can be done in person or via video conferencing, depending on the patient’s availability and preference. During the consultation, the practitioner will note the patient’s weight which will be done in person or self-reported if the patient is virtual. Then they will need a complete medical history, both the patient’s and their family’s, a report of past and current medications, and an account of the patient’s prior experience with weight loss. All of this information will help the practitioner know if the patient is a good candidate for the Northwest Face & Body Weight Loss Program weight loss program. If the patient qualifies for the program, the practitioner will discuss the forms of medication they might prefer and their overall goals and begin to build a program for their needs.
Northwest Face & Body uses the recommended doses from the manufacturer, but this can be adjusted based on the individual patient if the recommended dosage isn’t getting the desired effects. However, the recommended dosage for Ozempic is as follows:
After the patient is cleared to use Ozempic, a nutrition and workout plan will be curated that we have found works best to support Ozempic. These plans include well-balanced meals that can easily be integrated into their daily life and workouts that utilize activities to help patients become more active. Northwest Face & Body will also include a Vitamin B supplement for all Ozempic patients to ease any nausea that can occur when starting the medication. The provider will include monthly check-ins to discuss progress and adjust the dose of Ozempic accordingly.
If you choose to use our Ozempic weight loss program, which uses the name brand medication, you will still receive the diet and exercise program, 24/7 access to on-call doctors, and comprehensive care. However, you will get an on-brand prescription of Ozempic through the pharmacy of your choosing. This program is $199 plus the cost of the prescription.
We prescribe Ozempic in the manufacturer’s recommended dosage plan, but the dose can be adjusted if it does not work for the patient. The doses gradually increase every four weeks until you are on a 2 mg dose to maintain your weight loss.
Genetics, metabolism, and physical makeup are unique to every Ozempic patient, so the rate at which results begin to show will vary. However, it’s common for patients to begin to see changes in their physique two to three months into the program and will achieve their optimal results around the one-year mark of the program
Ozempic is meant for long-term use, so staying on Ozempic is perfectly safe and recommended once a patient hits their goals and finds the dose that works for them. If a patient wishes to stop using the medication, Northwest Face & Body offers a program to decrease the amount taken slowly. This ensures the patient can maintain their goal weight while getting off of Ozempic. While the program is not required, it is highly recommended.
Northwest Face & Body understands that weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, even with the incredible benefits Ozempic brings patients.
