AN INFORMATIVE GUIDE BY THE BALANCE CLINIC

Semaglutide is an exciting new medication option for sustainable weight loss and
improved health. This guide by the Balance Clinic covers the key aspects of
semaglutide-based treatments for obesity and weight management in Crete,
Illinois.


WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?

Semaglutide is a synthetic hormone belonging to the glucagon-like peptide-1
(GLP-1) group. It helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Compounded
semaglutide formulations utilize this compound to promote weight loss.

Some key points about semaglutide:



 * Acts on areas of the brain to reduce hunger and calorie intake
 * Enhances feelings of fullness so less food satisfies
 * Slows digestion to curb absorption of fat and sugars
 * Improves control of blood glucose levels



Semaglutide for weight loss helps obese or overweight patients achieve
significant and sustained reductions in body weight.

HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE LEAD TO WEIGHT LOSS?

There are two ways semaglutide facilitates weight reduction:



 1. Appetite suppression - It makes you feel fuller faster, reducing overall
    food intake
 2. Changes in fat absorption - It alters digestion and metabolism to decrease
    fat storage



Clinical studies show people taking semaglutide eat 10-15% less per day. They
also report better control over cravings and hunger.

Over 12-20 weeks, patients typically lose between 5-15% of their body weight.
Effects continue with longer treatment duration. Losses of over 20% are
possible.


BENEFITS OF WEIGHT LOSS WITH SEMAGLUTIDE

Succeeding with weight loss semaglutide leads to wide-ranging health and
wellness perks like:



 * Reduced risk for heart disease and stroke
 * Better outcomes for type 2 diabetes - lower blood glucose and A1c levels
 * Improved fertility and sexual health
 * Alleviation of joint/back pains from obesity
 * Surge in energy levels and productivity
 * Anti-aging effects - healthier cells and longer lifespan



Losing excess weight also boosts self-confidence, body image, and mental health.

> and my energy is through the roof. I almost feel like a new person!" - John
> S., Crete, IL



Table 1 shows more specific metabolic and cardiovascular benefits documented in
research on semaglutide.



Measure Improvements with Semaglutide Waist Circumference 6-13% decrease BMI
Loss of 5 points Blood Pressure 6-16 mmHg drop LDL Cholesterol 15-25% reduction
Triglycerides 30% lower on average



These remarkable enhancements to health and longevity demonstrate why timely
treatment with semaglutide is so valuable for qualifying patients.


WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR SEMAGLUTIDE?

The FDA has approved Wegovy - an injectable form of semaglutide - for chronic
weight management in adults with:



 * BMI over 30 (obesity)
 * Overweight BMI of 27 with at least one weight-related health issue such as
   diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease



However, anyone over 18 who has struggled to lose weight or keep it off may
benefit from compounded semaglutide formulations.

Ideal patients have:



 * Failed to reduce weight through diet and lifestyle alone
 * BMI from 25 to 45
 * A motivated, self-driven attitude



Talk to your healthcare provider about whether you are a good fit. We can check
your hormone levels and medical history to advise appropriately.
