18. Semaglutide for Weightloss

In this episode we have special guest Linda Hayes, PharmD. Together we review one of our August weight loss peptide specials utilizing compound Semaglutide and cjc 1295+ipamorelin. We are able to customize this regimen in titratable dosages specifically for patient’s weight loss needs, to help improve appetite, cravings and satiety while avoiding over suppression of appetite. Semaglutide- GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar. Semaglutide Benefits: • Weight Loss • Neuroprotective • Improved Fertility • Improvement of PCOS • Smoking Cessation • Cardiovascular Benefits Semaglutide is a subcutaneous injection which is most commonly dosed at 0.25mL(0.5mg) to 0.5mL(1mg) once weekly, dosing will be patient dependent on appetite, and weight loss goals.  Research: JAMA. 2021;325(14):1403-1413. doi:10.1001/jama.2021.1831
