What is Semaglutide for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide is a weekly injection that mimics the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) to support healthy metabolism and control blood sugar. It also helps curb cravings and regulate appetite.
Originally created to help treat diabetes, studies discovered Semaglutide’s positive impact on weight loss.

Sometimes diet and exercise aren't enough.
Weight gain can be caused by medical conditions, thyroid disease, genetics, aging, and more.
If these factors are affecting you, you may hit plateaus you can’t overcome or fail to see any results at all. Semaglutide is a weight loss tool that can give you the boost you need to achieve your fitness and fat loss goals.
Defy Medical also screens for thyroid disease and other conditions that impact weight loss to provide a comprehensive weight loss plan.

Defy Medical also offers access to supplements and medications that can support fat burning and healthy body composition.
Options include:
- Energy boosters
- Amino acids that encourage fat burning and preserve lean muscle
- Appetite suppressants
- Topical spot treatments
- and more
Other integrative treatments, like Hormone Replacement Therapy and Peptide Therapy, can have positive impacts on body composition, as well.
You can discuss all of these options with your provider to create a comprehensive weight loss plan.
Semaglutide Frequently Asked Questions
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) helps the body regulate blood sugar. Obesity and being overweight can cause insulin resistance, which makes GLP-1 less effective. Blood sugar and insulin play a crucial role in how the body stores calories, so issues in regulating them often leads to fat gain. Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 analogue, meaning it mimics GLP-1’s effects in the body.
Semaglutide also slows the digestive process and helps stop cravings by making patents feel fuller for longer.
Semaglutide is FDA approved for weight loss and weight management and is generally considered safe for most patients. Your Defy Medical provider will go over possible side effects and any contraindications (reasons not to take the medication) in your consultation.
Semaglutide for weight loss is a prescription medication. With Defy Medical, you’ll consult with a knowledgeable provider who will go over your unique situation to see if Semaglutide is right for you. We also require bloodwork to provide a complete picture of your health.
If appropriate, your Defy Medical provider will prescribe Semaglutide online via telemedicine, and you’ll be able to order it easily in our online Patient Portal.
As an emerging therapy, Semaglutide for weight loss is not always covered by insurance. Weight loss and weight management medications in general are often difficult to get approved by insurance companies. Defy Medical offers weight loss plans at affordable set prices, so you know your exact cost.
