Semaglutide is an exciting new weight loss medication that works by acting on receptors in the brain to reduce appetite. It is prescribed as a weekly injection and helps people feel fuller faster so they eat less food.
Our customized program includes:
We partner each patient with a dedicated care team to provide ongoing medical supervision, support, and accountability.
With two convenient locations in Minnesota, our clinic offers a personalized approach to medical weight management. Here are 5 key reasons to choose us:
We know that obesity is a complex medical disease. Our goal is to help you improve your health, boost confidence, and enhance quality of life through successful weight loss.
Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for chronic weight management. It is the first GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for weight loss treatment.
Here's an overview:
In clinical studies, people using Semaglutide lost significantly more weight over 68 weeks compared to placebo. Many also saw improvements in waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar control.
The key benefit of Semaglutide for obesity is that it reduces appetite and food cravings. Most people naturally eat less without feeling deprived or hungry.
It works by acting on GLP-1 receptors in your brain to increase feelings of fullness. This promotes portion control and allows the body to tap into stored fat for energy.
Research shows Semaglutide recipients felt less hungry compared to placebo. They also reported decreased cravings for snacks and sweet foods specifically.
Suppressed appetite combined with a slowed rate of stomach emptying supports eating smaller, healthier meals. Losing excess pounds becomes easier over time.
Most patients using Semaglutide for weight loss steadily lose around 12-15% of body weight over a year. Some studies show averages of up 20%.
However, weight loss results vary significantly. Factors like medication adherence, nutrition choices, physical activity, underlying health conditions, and more all impact success.
Our clinic sets personalized goals based on in-depth health evaluations. We also provide ongoing lifestyle support to help patients achieve realistic outcomes.
While exceptional responders may lose 30% or more of excess weight, a 10% reduction provides meaningful health gains for most people. Smaller losses between 5-10% still lower risks for weight-related diseases.
Large-scale clinical trials clearly demonstrate Semaglutide's weight loss efficacy and safety:
| Study | SUSTAIN 3 | SUSTAIN 7 |
|---|---|---|
| Participants | 1,961 adults with obesity or overweight | 1,903 adults with type 2 diabetes |
| Average Weight Loss | ~14% | ~7% more than placebo over 40 weeks |
Both randomized control trials showed greater weight reduction with once-weekly Semaglutide injections compared to placebo.
Common side effects were generally mild and included nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These often resolved within the first 4–8 weeks of treatment.
Expanding real-world data from thousands of patients further supports impressive weight loss for motivated individuals combining Semaglutide with lifestyle interventions.
Our specialized weight loss physicians determine Semaglutide eligibility based on:
We also review full health histories looking for any reasons to avoid this medication. Semaglutide is not for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What sets us apart:
Results vary based on the individual. Many patients lose 10-15% of their body weight over 12-16 months. Some may lose less or more depending on their effort and response to the medication.
Most patients use Semaglutide for 12-16 months with a gradual dose increase to improve safety and efficacy. Your doctor determines the ideal treatment duration and phase-out plan based on your progress.
Early side effects often include mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. These typically resolve within 4-8 weeks as your body adjusts. Other possible side effects include indigestion, dizziness, fatigue, and reactions at the injection site.
Medication alone often leads to partial weight loss followed by a plateau. For optimal success with Semaglutide, we highly recommend combining treatment with healthy nutrition, activity, and behavior changes.
Currently, Ozempic® (made by Novo Nordisk) is the only FDA-approved semaglutide product on the US market. A few generic forms are available internationally. WegovyTM is a higher dose of semaglutide also made by Novo Nordisk.
