Ozempic
Jumpstart your weight loss journey
Ozempic was approved for use as a diabetes medication in 2017. Through numerous studies, the makers of Ozempic soon found that patients on Ozempic showed significant weight loss.
Ozempic sends signals to the appetite center in your brain making you feel full. Ozempic also lowers the rate of your stomach emptying,
effectively prolonging fullness and satiety after meals. This feeling of fullness both mentally and physically helps reduce hunger, curbs your appetite and curbs your cravings - all things that ultimately lead to weight loss.
Weight management is a complex challenge faced by many people across the U.S. Despite many efforts, traditional weight loss methods often fall short, leaving people searching for alternative solutions such as Ozempic.
The best way to determine whether Ozempic is the answer to your weight loss concerns is a personal consultation with our medical aesthetics specialist here at YOUVORIA. We will carefully review your medical history and examine your current health to recommend the best course of treatment for addressing your concerns. Expect a compassionate and honest conversation and the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about Ozempic and our other aesthetic services. It is important to note that Ozempic should be paired with lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet and regular exercise, to get the most benefit.
Ozempic changes the very functioning of your body in order to help you lose weight and keep it off.
It is the metabolic change that makes Ozempic appropriate for healthy weight loss, rather than a quick-fix weight loss for people who want to slim down temporarily with no lasting results.
Ozempic is injected once a week in your thigh, abdomen or upper arm. It’s in a class of medications called “GLP-1 receptor agonists” or “GLP-1 drugs” for short. These medications mimic a hormone released from the digestive tract called glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), which helps lower blood sugar and promotes a feeling of fullness. When you take Ozempic®, your body makes more GLP-1. That lowers your appetite and, therefore, you eat less. But Ozempic® isn’t simply a tool that suppresses appetite. Ozempic®, like anti-obesity drugs, actually changes how your body responds to weight loss.
Your weight set point is the weight your body wants to live at. It’s the weight your body thinks is good for you, even if your BMI says otherwise. The defense of body weight (or body fat) in humans has evolved to fend off starvation. When we lose weight, our body fears we’re starving. So, it mounts a defense to keep weight on. It sends in “hunger hormones” and lowers “fullness hormones.” In short, your body will battle tooth-and-nail against weight loss.
Research has proven that weekly doses of Ozempic are very effective for reducing weight in people who are overweight.
In one landmark study, participants severely overweight who used the drug in combination with lifestyle interventions lost about 15% percent of their body weight in 68 weeks. Participants lost about 34 pounds on average. Research participants who did NOT take Ozempic only lost about six pounds on average. It's important
to continue making healthy lifestyle changes to maintain one’s weight loss, such as eating right and exercising when taking Ozempic.
When first getting started on Ozempic, you may experience digestion-related side effects.
These side effects are also common after your dosage is increased. Side effects normally subside over time. After taking Ozempic, you can resume your normal activities.
