Semaglutides are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. They work similarly to the natural GLP-1 in the body, causing disruption of the hypothalamus and other hunger centers in the brain. This results in a reduction in hunger, appetite, and cravings. In addition, it slows down the stomach’s emptying rate, prolonging feelings of fullness.
At Be Your Kind, we understand that obesity is multifaceted- from genetics to your environment, many factors play a role in your weight.

FAQ's
How do different weight loss drugs differ?
There are several GLP-1 agonist options available. Most are approved to treat Type 2 diabetes, while others are specifically approved for weight loss. Dosing frequency, how you take them, and potential benefits are a few ways they can differ.
How long does it take to lose weight on WEIGHT LOSS medication?
The time it takes to lose weight using medication varies. According to a double blind trial people lost ~6% of their starting body weight by 12 weeks, ~10% by 20 weeks, and ~15% at the one year mark. It is also important to note patients in this study used weight loss injections in combination with lifestyle changes, healthy nutrition, and physical activity. When starting our weight loss protocol, patients start at the lowest dose and can gradually increase every 4 weeks to a maximum dose as tolerated. For some patients there isn’t much of an effect at the lower dose, and weight loss may not start until the higher dose is reached. Be patient, we are here to support you along the way.
What are the most common side effects of WEIGHT LOSS medicationS?
The most common side effects may include: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach (abdomen) pain, headache, tiredness (fatigue), upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, gas, stomach flu, heartburn, and runny nose or sore throat. Tell your health care provider if you have any side effects that bother you.
What does a weight loss membership look like?
Initially, patients will visit our clinic for their initial injection, a comprehensive weight loss appointment lasting around 30-45 minutes. During the initial stages of treatment, our experienced medical professionals will monitor your progress, make necessary dosage adjustments, and provide guidance. Once your dosage is stable and you feel comfortable, you can transition to self-administering injections at home, only needing to come into the office for a monthly check-in.
How long can I be on WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION?
There is no limit to how long you can be on weight loss injection as long as you tolerate it well and is deemed an appropriate treatment per your healthcare provider.
