Medically Assisted Weight Loss
At NuLife Wellness we have been helping people achieve their weight loss goals since December 2021 utilizing Semaglutide. We have talked with hundreds of patients who have struggled to lose weight and this medication has been very successful for them.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that plays a role in your appetite and digestion. Incretins — hormones released by your digestive tract — are sent out by your body after you’ve eaten a meal. They help lower your blood sugar by triggering insulin release from the pancreas and blocking sugar production, helping with insulin resistance that can be affecting your ability to lose weight. They also slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach (called gastric emptying).
The result of these actions causes you to feel full — lowering your appetite and causing you to lose weight. Medications like GLP-1 agonists are referred to as incretin mimetics since they “mimic” these effects. This medication is amazing in helping with food cravings as well.
On average patients are losing 15-20 pounds in 8 weeks and 30-50 pounds in 6 months (individual results may vary). We stress that this medication is a tool to help you create a lifestyle to maintain long-term weight loss and it is best combined with healthy nutrition and exercise. We don’t believe in diets and stress that the only effective long-term solution is a lifestyle change and we will guide you to create that.
You will meet with our Medical Director for a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for this medication or others and discuss what your goals are and is available to meet with you as often as you need throughout the program.
If you have been struggling to lose weight, this is just the tool you need to get the weight off.

Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutid was approved by the FDA in June 2021. It has been used for type II diabetes since 2017. In studies, patients noted a 15-18% decrease in their body weight, which is more than what has been seen with other weight loss medications. We recommend using this as a tool along with a healthy diet and exercise.
