Achieving a healthier weight can have a transformative impact on your overall well-being. At Affinity Primary & Family Practice, we offer Wegovy (semaglutide) injections as part of our medical weight loss solutions to help eligible patients lose weight safely and effectively. This FDA-approved treatment supports long-term weight management by regulating appetite and improving metabolic health when combined with lifestyle changes.
We provide medically supervised weight loss strategies, including the use of semaglutide injections for patients who meet specific clinical criteria. Our approach includes a thorough evaluation, personalized dosing schedules, and continuous monitoring to ensure safety, effectiveness, and sustainable results.
Before beginning Wegovy treatment, we conduct a comprehensive health assessment to determine if semaglutide injections are appropriate. This includes evaluating body mass index (BMI), medical history, weight-related health conditions, and current medications. This process ensures patient safety and maximizes treatment outcomes.
Each patient receives a customized plan that outlines the dosing schedule, dietary guidance, and lifestyle adjustments needed to enhance the effects of semaglutide. We begin with a low dose and gradually increase as tolerated to minimize side effects and improve weight loss results over time.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a hormone naturally produced in the body. It helps reduce appetite, slows gastric emptying, and increases feelings of fullness. These mechanisms help patients eat less and lose weight steadily while improving markers like blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
To support the effectiveness of Wegovy, we provide ongoing nutritional counseling and lifestyle coaching. Our team helps patients develop balanced meal plans, improve physical activity habits, and overcome behavioral obstacles to weight loss. These tools work in tandem with semaglutide to promote long-term success.
Ongoing check-ins allow us to monitor your progress, track weight changes, and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Common side effects like nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort are closely managed through gradual dosing and dietary modifications, ensuring patient comfort and safety.
Wegovy injections are used to manage and reduce the health risks associated with obesity. Patients who lose weight with semaglutide often experience improvements in conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome. This treatment also supports cardiovascular health by reducing risk factors related to excess weight. Improved mobility, reduced joint pain, and better quality of life are additional benefits often seen with successful weight loss.
