West Allis Medical Weight Loss & Semaglutide

Our West Allis area semaglutide program at VIVA Wellness includes custom and weekly NP-guided dosing, a curation of supplemental oral and injected add-ons that resolve side-effects which are common with the drug.

Powerful Weight Loss Results For West Allis Clients

Semaglutide offers effective weight loss by curbing cravings, stabilizing blood sugar, and increasing feelings of fullness by slowing stomach emptying. Remarkably, it achieves these results without demanding significant lifestyle changes or restrictive diets.

Interestingly, while major lifestyle overhauls aren't required, the Semaglutide protocol often helps patients naturally adjust their habits. It highlights the benefits of clean eating and regular movement, which enhance effectiveness and overall well-being. However, many patients find they don't need to make drastic alterations to their eating habits to see positive results.

What Is Semaglutide & How Does It Work?

Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and it is also a powerful medication for weight loss. It belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. Here's how it works:

• Semaglutide mimics the action of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is normally released in response to food intake.
• By binding to GLP-1 receptors, particularly in the brain's hypothalamus, semaglutide helps regulate appetite and reduces hunger.
• It also slows down gastric emptying, which contributes to a feeling of fullness and can aid in weight loss.
• In diabetes management, semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion when glucose levels are high and inhibiting glucagon release to prevent excessive glucose production by the liver.

Semaglutide is typically administered via injection and is prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.

Our Semaglutide Quiets Hunger Cravings and More

While semaglutide works in a few ways, the bottom line, which makes it so effective for folks who have struggled to see the weight change they know their body is capable of, is this: semaglutide targets hunger centers in the brain that stabilize constant hunger, cravings, or food chatter thoughts.

There are a whole host of other bonus benefits that we’re finding, including that it’s also cardioprotective which is something that we can all get behind considering that heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the US since the 1950s (via cdc.gov). Can you imagine the relief of no longer being consumed with constant thoughts about food or movement and whether you’re doing it right?

Semaglutide + VIVA Wellness Unique Blend of Supportive Treatment

Through a weekly protocol of the drug (injected subcutaneously into fat of the abdomen, arm, or thigh) with our unique blend of other supportive items such as two other intramuscular (IM) injections and oral supplements, clients can expect consistent, sustained results over time. It’s more of a “moderate and steady wins the race” type of treatment, but with dedication and focus on overall wellness, the weight does release.

VIVA Wellness and your dedicated NP make the experience easier by automatically prescribing anti-nausea relief medications and supplements that support metabolic health and detoxification pathways. You are guided weekly by our staff with customized dosing changes and no complicated pricing structure. Through our check-ins, we’re able to make adjustments based on real-time feedback from your body and from your mental, emotional, and lifestyle experience. Your plan is tailored to YOU and your individual body.

We’ve seen clients combine with other treatments within VIVA Wellness to achieve a profound jump-start: colonics, lymphatic drainage, and cavitation. Supporting the whole system means the drug is tolerated even more easily and the results are amplified. **This is of course not always the case and there is no “typical” results guarantee.**

Are Semaglutide Injections Right For You?

At VIVA Wellness, we approach the decision to recommend semaglutide by conducting a thorough evaluation of each individual's medical history and current health status. Our medically trained team assess whether semaglutide aligns with the patient's specific health goals, taking into account factors such as their medical conditions, current medications, and overall readiness to commit to the treatment plan, which includes regular injections. We also consider cost and insurance coverage to ensure the treatment is both feasible and beneficial for our patients' long-term health and wellness goals.

How Long Does It Take Semaglutide To Work?

Since your body ultimately dictates the outcomes, it's impossible to guarantee a specific weight change. Some individuals may experience gradual results as the medication is introduced, while others might notice immediate effects. By fully committing to your personalized VIVA Wellness Weight Change Protocol, which complements the potent Semaglutide treatment with comprehensive system care, you’re likely to see accelerated fat and toxin release, along with reduced side effects. However, results can vary greatly from person to person, and it's essential to choose a weight loss plan that best suits your unique health needs.
