Semaglutide mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and help you feel fuller longer. It supports gradual, sustainable weight loss while improving blood sugar control.

We provide ongoing medical guidance and support every step of the way, helping you achieve results that are both healthy and sustainable.

The 10% weight loss goal is based on clinical research showing how much you can realistically lose and maintain with FDA-approved metabolic medication and accountability coaching. However, many patients exceed the 10% mark during their medical weight loss in South Jordan.
10% is emphasized because it leads to significant improvements in metabolic and inflammatory markers, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and diabetes risk. It has also been shown to alleviate symptoms of depression, arthritis, and sleep apnea while enhancing overall quality of life. Losing 10% of your body weight is an attainable and meaningful goal with substantial health benefits for most individuals.
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, exerts its effects through multiple mechanisms. Activating GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas slows down gastric emptying, reducing appetite and promoting feelings of fullness. Semaglutide also acts on the hypothalamus in the brain to regulate food intake, improve satiety, and eliminate hunger pangs, so you feel less compelled to snack between meals. As such, Semaglutide helps you stick to your weight loss diet.
Semaglutide has shown remarkable effectiveness in promoting weight loss. In a 12-week study with a low dose of 1.0mg once weekly, patients experienced an average weight loss of 11 pounds. Another 20-week trial using a higher dose of 2.4mg demonstrated that patients lost 9.9% of their body weight, compared to only 0.4% in the placebo group. Semaglutide has been proven to assist greatly in medical weight loss.
Notably, the New England Journal of Medicine’s publication of the STEP trial revealed that more than 50% of non-diabetic obese participants using high-dose Semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, and 33 to 40% achieved a weight loss of 20%. These results surpass the best weight loss agent available — phentermine plus topiramate.
During your weight loss program, we advise against taking any weight loss medication that is not a GLP-1 receptor agonist, like Semaglutide. Our focus is on utilizing Semaglutide as a safe and effective weight loss medication, and combining it with other weight loss medications is inadvisable for your specific treatment plan.
Semaglutide may have side effects, like any medication. However, using Semaglutide as part of medical weight loss in South Jordan increases the effectiveness of the program. The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, headache, fatigue, upset stomach, dizziness, bloating, belching, gas, stomach flu, and heartburn. Many of these side effects are manageable through proper dosing, and some may overlap with the effects of feeling full.
After starting Semaglutide, it’s important to adopt a sustainable and flexible approach to your diet. Focus on minimizing fast-digesting carbohydrates and making healthier choices incorporating protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Rather than restricting or meticulously counting calories, prioritize nourishing your body with nutrient-dense foods. Our team at Gallery of Aesthetics can provide personalized guidance and support to help you create a well-rounded and balanced eating plan that complements your weight loss journey with Semaglutide.
Trizepatide is primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and is also approved for medical weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight.
Trizepatide works by mimicking the effects of two hormones—glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)—to improve insulin secretion, reduce glucagon levels, and promote a feeling of fullness, thereby helping to control blood sugar and manage weight.
Trizepatide is administered as an injection using an insulin needle. The specific dosage and frequency will be determined by your healthcare provider.
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These side effects often improve over time.
Trizepatide may not be suitable for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. It is important to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider.
Trizepatide can be prescribed alongside other diabetes medications, but it’s essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
Clinical studies have shown that Trizepatide can lead to significant weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight, often providing better results than some other weight management options.
While using Trizepatide, adopting a balanced diet and regular physical activity is encouraged to maximize its benefits for blood sugar control and weight management.
Many patients may begin to notice improvements in blood sugar levels and appetite control within a few weeks, but individual responses can vary.
Long-term safety data is still being collected, but many patients use it successfully as part of their long-term diabetes and weight management plan. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are essential for monitoring.
If you miss a dose, follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Generally, it’s recommended to take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to the time of your next dose.
Currently, Trizepatide is not approved for use in individuals without diabetes, although it may have beneficial effects on weight loss for those who are overweight. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
You don't have to face your weight loss journey alone. Our experienced medical team is here to provide personalized guidance, proven treatments, and ongoing support to help you achieve lasting results. Schedule your consultation today and begin building a healthier, more confident future.
