You may want to shed excess weight for several reasons, including improving your overall health and boosting self-confidence. If you struggle to lose weight through conventional methods like a reduced-calorie diet or exercise regimen, semaglutide is an exciting weight loss treatment that can help you attain your goal.
These highly effective, once weekly semaglutide treatments are helping people from Omaha, Papillion, Elkhorn, and Bennington, NE; Council Bluffs, IA; and surrounding areas regain their health. Our Weight Loss Management Monthly Program ensures patients lose weight consistently and safely.
How does semaglutide work for weight loss?
Semaglutide mimics a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone that helps suppress your appetite and regulate blood sugar levels. This medication acts on the centers of the brain, so you don’t overeat during meals and feel satiated longer. A clinical study found that people lost an average of 52 pounds, or about 22.5% of their body weight, using semaglutide. It works to:
Slow the release of food from the stomach
Increase feelings of fullness after eating
Reduce appetite and feelings of hunger
Decreases appetite, which helps reduce body weight

What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are injectable weight loss medications that mimic the GLP-1 hormone. Tirzepatide, on the other hand, is a newer medication that also includes a GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor agonist. By activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide may enhance weight loss, appetite suppression, and blood sugar control.
Weight loss patients typically begin with semaglutide because it has been extensively studied and proven safe and effective in weight loss and blood sugar management. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide is typically well-tolerated and offers a reliable option to help patients reduce appetite, lower calorie intake, and achieve gradual, sustainable weight loss. Starting our patients with semaglutide also allows us to evaluate how they respond to GLP-1 therapy alone before potentially introducing the additional GIP action with tirzepatide. For many, semaglutide provides sufficient appetite control and weight loss support without needing the dual-agonist approach that tirzepatide offers.
