Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for treating type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. It is similar to a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. Semaglutide helps you feel fuller faster so you eat less and lose weight.
At our Vitality Hormone Wellness weight loss clinic in Lanham, Maryland, we provide semaglutide along with nutritional and behavioral counseling to help patients achieve significant and sustained weight loss safely under medical supervision.
Semaglutide promotes weight loss through the following mechanisms:
By improving control over eating, digestion, and metabolism, semaglutide enables easier adherence to a reduced calorie diet for successful weight management.
Semaglutide used alongside diet and exercise offers exceptional benefits for weight loss and health:
- Average 15-18% body weight reduction in trials - Far exceeds weight loss from lifestyle changes alone
- Effects maintained long term with continued treatment - Lower weight regain risk after discontinuation
- Drops HbA1c in patients with prediabetes/diabetes - Lowers blood pressure and LDL cholesterol - Lessens impact of obesity-related complications
With personalized medical monitoring, semaglutide is very effective for weight loss with an excellent safety profile.
Our clinic follows rigorous protocols to help patients achieve successful weight loss on semaglutide:
- Medical history and physical examination - Body measurements and metabolism testing - Lab tests to screen health status
- Evidence-based caloric goals - Meal plans aligned to preferences - Physical activity customized to abilities
- Medication dosage titrations - Side effect checks and mitigation - Accountability for diet and exercise
We also address barriers like stress, sleep issues, and motivation to promote adherence.

Initial Consultation
Insurance Verification
First Injection
With a collaborative approach, our providers develop individualized semaglutide regimens for optimal medical weight management.
While semaglutide promotes weight loss directly, patients see much greater success when combined with healthy lifestyle changes like:
- Focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods - Controlling portions and calorie density - Staying hydrated with water
- 150-300 minutes of moderate exercise weekly - Aiming for 10,000 daily steps - Building muscle mass through strength training
- Prioritizing high-quality sleep - Managing stress with mindfulness practices - Connecting socially for motivation and accountability
Comprehensive support empowers patients to implement positive habits that reinforce semaglutide treatment for transformative weight loss.
Obesity often arises from imbalances in appetite-regulating hormones like leptin, ghrelin, peptide YY, and GLP-1. Using advanced testing, our practitioners identify specific deficiencies impairing weight control.
