Semaglutide
If you’re tired of trying—and failing—to lose weight, it’s time to try something that actually works. Specially compounded to lower blood sugar, reduce appetite, and increase energy, Semaglutide from Tulsa Men’s Clinic can help you lose drastically more weight than any other weight loss solution available today.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that imitates the actions of an essential incretin hormone peptide to delay gastric emptying, curb appetite, and promote glycemic control through the stimulation of insulin production, collectively diminishing sensations of hunger. It’s the first drug to be FDA-approved for weight management since 2014 and has been consistently proven as a safe and effective way for adults to lose between 15% and 20% of their body weight.
Semaglutide is offered as part of Tulsa Men’s Clinic comprehensive medical weight loss programs, advanced medical solutions designed to address multiple determinants of weight loss, including energy improvement, hormone regulation, appetite control, and optimal nutrition. We combine the latest in cutting-edge testing technology with proven, scientific treatments to guarantee results you’ve only dreamed of.
Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a proven weight loss solution for many adults, demonstrating high efficacy in facilitating moderate and consistent weight loss within just 3 to 6 months of sustained use, with most people starting to see an average loss of 5.9% of their body weight in just 12 weeks. Its effectiveness is particularly improved when paired with intensive lifestyle adjustments and calorie restriction.
Semaglutide is different from other weight loss solutions. Unlike crash diets, quick fixes, and internet fads, Semaglutide:
Improves metabolic health. By improving the body’s ability to use insulin, as well as reducing inflammation and cholesterol levels, Semaglutide can help your body metabolize food better and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Promotes lasting weight loss. By making it easier for you to stick to a healthy, low-calorie diet, develop healthy habits, and make changes to your lifestyle, Semaglutide helps you keep the weight off even after you’ve discontinued the medication.
Helps you lose weight safely and gradually. Because it works by reducing hunger and cravings, slowing down your digestion, and helping you feel fuller longer, Semaglutide allows your body to shed stored fat at a more consistent rate for better, longer-lasting results.
Boasts enhanced fat burning effects. Semaglutide helps produce GLP-1 in higher amounts that interact directly with receptors in the brain responsible for appetite and satiety. And, because it’s administered as a once-a-week injection in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh, Semaglutide lasts longer in the bloodstream for more sustained activity.
Additional benefits of Semaglutide include:
- Reduced appetite and cravings
- Increased feelings of fullness and satiety
- Enhanced insulin secretion
- Improved glucose utilization
- Lowered blood sugar levels
- Sustained weight loss
- Improved metabolic function
- Potential cardiovascular benefits, including reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death
- Possible reduction in risk factors associated with obesity-related conditions

How long does it take to lose weight on Semaglutide?
Many patients will start to see the effects of Semaglutide working after the first dose and should start experiencing weight loss within the first two weeks of their program. Everyone’s weight loss journey looks different and how much weight you need to lose will determine the duration of your program. However, it is typical for patients to lose 1-2 pounds a week or 8-10 pounds a month, but results vary per person. It’s important to remember that the best results will happen when you are using your medication in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.
To minimize side effects, semaglutide needs to be dosed with progressively increasing doses. After 1 month, the dosage may not yet be sufficiently high enough to result in significant weight loss, which is usually why it is at 3 months when most people typically start to see weight loss with an average of 5.9% seen in studies
