Ozempic® (semaglutide) is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for managing blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. More recently, it has shown remarkable efficacy for weight loss in both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
Unlike most other diabetes medications that simply improve blood sugar control, Ozempic directly targets body fat through multiple mechanisms of action:
In clinical trials, Ozempic has helped overweight and obese participants lose 15-25 lbs on average, strictly from the medication's effects. For some, this equates to 10% or more of their total body weight.

Before covering Renew Wellness Clinic' proprietary Ozempic protocols, let's review some key background on semaglutide.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, used for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. As a GLP-1 drug, semaglutide:
Additionally, research shows semaglutide acts directly in the brain to:
Through these complementary mechanisms, semaglutide potently lowers HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar), while also reducing caloric intake and supporting weight loss.
Notably, most users report minimal side effects, as semaglutide mimics a hormone natively produced in the body. For these reasons, semaglutide represents an exciting advancement for managing obesity and metabolic disease.
At Renew Wellness Clinic' clinic, we provide customized semaglutide/Ozempic treatment for the following indications:
Ozempic is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with:
Such health issues may include hypertension, dyslipidemia, heart disease, sleep apnea, fatty liver, osteoarthritis, infertility, etc.
Individuals with prediabetes, elevated fasting blood sugar, or clinical insulin resistance can also benefit greatly from Ozempic.
By improving insulin sensitivity and stabilizing blood glucose, semaglutide restores metabolic flexibility allowing for easier, more predictable weight loss. It also helps prevent progression from prediabetes to overt type 2 diabetes.
Many women with PCOS struggle with excess body fat and prediabetes. Ozempic combats the underlying insulin resistance driving these issues.
In doing so, semaglutide often regulates menstrual cycles, improves fertility, reduces dark facial hair growth, and resolves other PCOS issues in addition to aiding weight loss.
Though originally FDA approved for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic requires special precautions in this population to avoid dangerously low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia).
Under medical guidance, semaglutide still assists with glycemic control and weight control in diabetic patients not achieving targets with other medications.
Since hormone imbalances often prevent weight loss no matter how hard one diets and exercises, we order laboratory testing for all Ozempic patients.
Common issues impacting body weight evaluated at Renew Wellness Clinic include:
Deficient testosterone promotes loss of calorie-burning muscle mass and accumulates body fat, especially dangerous visceral fat. Normalizing testosterone, as scientifically indicated, prevents and helps reverse this.
We provide advanced testosterone therapy combining multiple state-of-the art options like injections, gels, pellets, and oral medications under careful medical guidance for optimized, lasting benefits.
Like low testosterone in men, unbalanced estrogen in women drives insulin resistance, makes weight loss nearly impossible, and threatens long-term health.
Using the latest genetic testing, we identify patients needing estrogen blocking, supporting, or balancing medications. Paired with Ozempic, re-optimizing estrogen facilitates weight loss while preventing common consequences of hormonal shifts like hot flashes or sleep disruption.
An underactive thyroid gland slows metabolism making weight loss difficult. T3 thyroid hormone directly works within cells to remove waste products and burn energy.
After testing thyroid function, we start patients requiring it on bioidentical thyroid medications. Doing so re-accelerates metabolism to turn up fat burning and amplify Ozempic's effects.
Tip: If low energy or fluid retention accompanies your weight gain, have your thyroid function evaluated!
Overall, identifying and addressing hormone roadblocks maximizes Ozempic's weight loss potential for the best chance of success.

The recommended starting dosage of Ozempic for weight management is 0.25 mg injected under the skin once weekly.
After 4 weeks, the dosage increases to 0.5 mg once weekly, then again to 1 mg once weekly after an additional 4 weeks.
Higher doses promote increased weight loss, but also increase side effects. We personally titrate your dose based on your needs and tolerance for optimal, personalized results.
Once maximal benefits are achieved maintenance has been for 40 weeks or longer, with good efficacy and safety demonstrated. Patients who remain on Ozempic continue to experience sustained, gradual reduction in body weight over time.
Ozempic is administered in prefilled, disposable, dial-a-dose pens only. Needle length can be customized to your body habitus. Most patients eventually become very comfortable self-injecting at home.
However, if preferred, one of our clinic nurses can handle your weekly Ozempic injections. We teach self-injection technique to those wanting independence.
Storage requires refrigeration prior to first use. Once started, each pen lasts 6 weeks from dispensing before requiring replacement.
While Ozempic promotes weight loss directly through its pharmacological activity, certain lifestyle changes make the medication work that much better.
Our clinicians provide personalized nutrition and exercise recommendations tailored to your needs, preferences, and body type. However, general guidance includes:
Nutrition: - Emphasize lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and whole intact grains - Minimize processed carbohydrates, sugary foods/beverages, alcohol - Stay well hydrated with non-caloric fluids - Allow yourself occasional treats in moderation without guilt
Physical Activity: - Incorporate both aerobic (cardio) exercise and strength training - Aim for 150-300 minutes of moderate activity per week minimum - Focus on consistency rather than intensity at first - Enlist a friend, trainer, or Renew Wellness Clinic staff for motivation/accountability!
Small, sustainable adjustments to eating patterns and activity levels reinforce Ozempic's effects for amplifying weight loss both short and long-term.
The most common side effects with semaglutide are gastrointestinal in nature, tolerance develops over time. These include:
Gastrointestinal issues peak early after starting then gradually improve. We provide tips like avoiding empty stomach dosing to minimize this.
Rarely, some experience headaches, fatigue, dizziness, rash or reactions at the injection site.
Of critical importance, Ozempic® can very infrequently worsen diabetic retinopathy (eye issues) in those with unstable blood sugars. Thus at Renew Wellness Clinic, we monitor kidney function, blood counts, and conduct eye exams annually to promote safety.
While not for everyone, with proper precautions Ozempic demonstrates an excellent safety profile based on data from over 10 clinical trials and real-world usage.

Despite Ozempic's well-proven safety and efficacy from rigorously controlled trials and years of clinical experience, common myths unfairly paint prescription anti-obesity agents as unsafe "quick fixes" or "cheating."
Below we debunk the top Ozempic myths using facts:
| Myth | "Ozempic is just another sketchy internet diet pill or supplement." |
|---|---|
| Fact | - Ozempic is an FDA-approved injectable anti-obesity medication, not an unregulated supplement - Large clinical trials support Ozempic's safety/efficacy for weight loss |
| Myth | "Prescription weight loss medications like Ozempic are risky and dangerous." |
|---|---|
| Fact | - When appropriately prescribed and monitored, medications like Ozempic pose little health risk - Lifestyle changes alone rarely lead to substantial, sustained weight reduction long-term, especially for those with obesity |
| Myth | "Using Ozempic is cheating and the weight won't stay off." |
|---|---|
| Fact | - Obesity is a chronic medical disease requiring long-term treatment - Patients who maintain lifestyle changes while using Ozempic long-term demonstrate sustained weight loss |
| Myth | "Ozempic just treats the symptoms, not the root causes of weight gain." |
|---|---|
| Fact | - For most with obesity, hormonal/metabolic dysfunction drives fat accumulation - By resolving insulin resistance and regulating appetite/satiety, Ozempic targets root causes |
In summary, while not magical, prescription medications like Ozempic play an important, legitimate role as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for certain patients with refractory obesity under medical supervision.
At Renew Wellness Clinic, we understand the frustration those carrying excess weight feel after exhausting all options to lose it. Whether due to hormonal causes, metabolic dysfunction, or behavioral factors, for many, obesity treatment remains ineffective until discovering Ozempic.
After scientifically optimizing health and hormone balance to resolve roadblocks preventing weight loss, we carefully incorporate cutting-edge medications like Ozempic under close provider guidance. Doing so helps clients finally shed pounds and keep them off long-term through direct pharmacological and beneficial downstream metabolic effects.
We're proud of our outstanding track record and incredible success stories helping people take control over their weight once and for all. Achieve what you never imagined possible - let Renew Wellness Clinic transform your health today!
