 GLP-1 antagonists provides real results to clients who have struggled in the past with chronic weight management & elevation in Hemoglobin A1c. Semaglutide is a glucagon peptide receptor antagonist (GLP-1) that improves the overall function of your pancreas. Taking this medication on average, patients have lost 30 pounds over the course of treatment. Full course of treatment is 12 weeks followed by maintenance therapy.  This treatment requires a consultation with our Family Nurse Practitioner with lab work prior to beginning your treatment plan. Your Lab work will be performed at your consultation appointment.
