Do you have a hard time losing weight and keeping it off? Being overweight (or underweight) is frequently a sign of underlying bodily dysfunction or hormonal imbalance. Given numerous contributing elements to weight gain, the practitioners at Practical Wellness Clinic don't just apply a band-aid solution to the problem; they look at all the probable core causes to establish workable solutions for long-term weight control. Addressing gut health is one of the first stages in finding the problem. Metabolism, hormone production, and detoxification are all impacted by your gut health. At Practical Wellness Clinic, we want to provide an integrative approach to hormone imbalances, weight loss, and adrenal fatigue. Instead of losing weight to get healthier, we must first become healthier.

Medical Weight Loss Program

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a modified molecule our bodies make, GLP1. It’s a protein made in the intestine and results in a decrease in blood sugar and appetite. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than minutes. Initially used for prediabetes and diabetes and sold under the name Ozempic®, Semaglutide is a higher dose of the same drug for weight loss.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

  • Delays stomach emptying, leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes
  • Slows intestinal motility
  • Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver
  • Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas

Custom Medical Weight Loss Program Includes:

  • Initial APRN consult to determine goals and treatment plan
  • Semaglutide + L-Carnitine weekly injections (must qualify)
  • Weekly phone check-in to monitor for potential side effects and progress
  • Essential lab work through Labcorp (option to have performed by PCP and provide APRN with results)
  • Access to a private Facebook support group, including access to our 4-Week Gut Reboot Challenge

In addition to the above, the following options can be added to optimize your overall wellness and weight loss:


  • Gut microbe testing
  • Registered dietitian consult
  • Micronutrient testing 
  • Biweekly wellness shots (weight loss shot/ weight loss injections)
  • Weekly IV vitamin infusions
  • Bio-identical hormone replacement (must qualify)

To Qualify for the Weight Loss Program (Semaglutide Use):

  • Must have established PCP
  • Provide a list of past and current medical conditions, surgeries, and current medications and supplements
  • Chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes must be optimally managed

Semaglutide Contraindications:

  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
  • Personal or family history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, type 2 (MEN 2)
  • Prior allergic reaction to Semaglutide or to any of its ingredients* (severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported with Semaglutide)
  • Diabetic retinopathy (diabetic eye disease)
  • Pregnant or trying to get pregnant (the estimated background risk of significant congenital disabilities is ~3%, and the estimated background risk of miscarriage is ~18% – these percentages are increased with the use of Semaglutide during pregnancy)
  • Breast-feeding (Semaglutide is present in breast milk)
  • Less than 18 years old
  • Depression with a history of suicidal thoughts

You might not be able to take Semaglutide if you have any of the following conditions:

  • History of pancreatitis (persistent severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back with or without vomiting)
  • Kidney disease/kidney insufficiency
  • History of GI complaints (Semaglutide can make these symptoms worse)
  • Diabetes (must obtain approval for use from an endocrinologist or primary care physician)
