Wegovy/Semaglutide

Definite Wellness is excited to be one of the only offices in the middle Tennessee area offering one of the most promising new weight loss drugs to hit the market in years! 

Semaglutide/Wegovy is a once weekly injection which has been providing dramatic weight loss results under the brand name "Wegovy" since 2021. 

Unfortunately, the maker of Wegovy was not expecting the onslaught of patients and the company has been unable to keep up with the demand. Thankfully, our compounding pharmacy has taken the active ingredient in Wegovy, Semaglutide, and made it more potent for fat loss with the inclusion of L-carnitine. L-carnitine is a potent fat mobilization amino acid.  Not only is it more potent but this medication is READILY available to our patients!

Semaglutide is ideal for patients who have a considerable amount of  weight to lose and is a powerful appetite suppressant. Our formulation of Semaglutide, along with L- carnitine, can help patients lose 50-100 pounds in conjunction with other lifestyle modification.  

How does it work?

• Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine used for adults with a diagnosis of obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (excess weight) (BMI ≥27) (who also have weight-related medical problems) to help them lose weight and keep it off.
•  Semaglutide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist. GLP-1 is a natural hormone in your body that acts on your brain to regulate your appetite and food intake. It works by stimulating the pancreas to produce additional insulin, decreasing the stomach's emptying time and signaling to the brain a feeling of fullness, which helps you lose weight.
•  After about 1 year (68 weeks), people who took the maintenance dose of Semaglutide, along with a lower-calorie diet and exercise lost an average of 10% to 16% of their starting body weight compared to those following a lower-calorie diet and exercise plan only. 

If you are interested in this powerful weight loss therapy please don't hesitate to give our office a call to schedule a weight loss consult. If you are a current patient and would like to switch to this therapy please call us to schedule your next appointment. We look forward to hearing from you!
