Semaglutide is primarily known for promoting weight loss and may offer additional health benefits such as improved blood sugar control, reduced cardiovascular risk, reduced inflammation and potential improvements in liver function and kidney health.
Semaglutide works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimicking the hormone GLP-1 in the body. It regulates blood sugar by stimulating insulin release and slowing gastric emptying. It suppresses appetite by acting on brain centers controlling hunger and satiety. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, combined with its metabolic effects, may result in significant weight loss for many users.
Semaglutide is typically administered as a weekly injection.
-
HCG therapy for weight loss involves administering small doses of (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is a hormone women produce during pregnancy. In combination with a specific prescribed diet, this hormone may help redistribute body fat, reduce appetite, and boost metabolism. HCG is thought to interact with the hypothalamus, potentially affecting hunger and metabolism. The therapy can be administered via injection or oral drops. While Dr. Lollar administers HCG from FDA-approved sources, please note that this treatment is not yet FDA-approved for weight loss.
-
If you are enrolled in a Semaglutide or HCG treatment plan, Dr. Lollar maintains an open line of communication, ensuring you can easily reach out for questions, adjustments to your treatment plan, or to discuss any side effects you may experience. This close supervision allows us to optimize your protocol and provide personalized care as you work towards your health goals.
