Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, now widely used as a highly effective option for medical weight loss. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control.
At Lite Medical, we offer semaglutide therapy as part of a comprehensive weight management program—providing medical supervision, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support to help you achieve lasting results here.
Semaglutide therapy can be effective in addressing:
Obesity
Supporting safe, long-term weight reduction.
Prediabetes & Type 2 Diabetes
Helping regulate blood sugar and reduce reliance on medications.
Metabolic Syndrome
Improving risk factors like high cholesterol and insulin resistance.
Hypertension
Weight loss achieved with semaglutide can contribute to lower blood pressure.
Joint Pain & Mobility Issues
Reduced body weight helps alleviate pressure on joints.
What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Semaglutide?
Before starting medication, it’s helpful to establish healthy habits that complement treatment:
Balanced Eating
Focus on whole foods, lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables, and reduced processed foods.
Regular Physical Activity
Incorporate both aerobic exercise (walking, swimming, biking) and strength training.
Hydration
Drink water consistently throughout the day to support digestion and metabolism.
Restful Sleep
Aim for 7–9 hours each night; poor sleep can disrupt hormones linked to hunger and weight gain.
