What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist medication that has transformed the medical weight loss landscape. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, semaglutide was approved for chronic weight management after clinical trials demonstrated remarkable results — patients lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks.
The medication works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) that your body produces after eating. GLP-1 signals your brain to feel full, reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. By enhancing this natural process, semaglutide helps patients eat less without feeling deprived, reduce cravings for high-calorie foods, feel satisfied with smaller portions, and maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.
At Vitality To-Go, our semaglutide program is delivered entirely at your home or via telehealth. Your licensed provider manages every aspect of your treatment — from initial assessment and lab work to ongoing monitoring and dose adjustments — without you ever needing to visit a clinic.
How Our Semaglutide Program Works
Our semaglutide program begins with a comprehensive initial consultation, either at your home or via telehealth. During this visit, your provider will review your medical history, current medications, and health goals. Lab work will be ordered to establish baseline metabolic markers and ensure semaglutide is safe and appropriate for you. Lab costs are billed separately from your monthly program fee.
Once approved, your provider will start you on a low dose of semaglutide and gradually increase it over several weeks — a process called dose titration. This gradual approach minimizes potential side effects (most commonly mild nausea) and allows your body to adjust to the medication. Your provider monitors your progress at each visit and adjusts dosing as needed.
Throughout your program, you will have regular check-ins with your provider — either at your home or via telehealth. These visits include weight and vital sign monitoring, side effect management, dose adjustments, lab work as needed, and ongoing support and guidance. Most patients begin seeing significant weight loss within the first 4-8 weeks, with results continuing to improve over 6-12 months of treatment.
Semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection. Your provider can administer it during in-home visits, or teach you to self-inject at home — whichever you prefer. The injection is simple, virtually painless, and takes just seconds.
Semaglutide Eligibility and Safety
Semaglutide for weight loss is generally appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or adults with a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
During your initial consultation, your provider will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if semaglutide is right for you. This includes reviewing your complete medical history, assessing potential drug interactions, and ordering baseline lab work. Not every patient is a candidate for semaglutide, and our providers will always prioritize your safety.
Common side effects of semaglutide include mild nausea (especially during dose titration), decreased appetite, and occasional digestive changes. These side effects are typically temporary and manageable. Your provider will monitor you closely and adjust your treatment plan as needed to minimize any discomfort.
Semaglutide should not be used by patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. Your provider will screen for these and other contraindications during your initial assessment.
