Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss Program

We are able to offer a virtual program to Georgia residents or to individuals who are willing to travel to our office in Monroe, Georgia for an initial visit. We also refer out and consult with a medical provider who is able to offer virtual programs in South Carolina and Indiana. Please email WeightLoss@ourfamilyhealthcenter.com if you are interested in our virtual program.

Effectiveness is always going to come down to what works for an individual. A customized plan that begins with a medical evaluation of your overall health and includes ongoing monitoring and support with accountability is important to consider. Our Family Health offers both in our weight loss programs. Please listen to our podcast episode about the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for more information. 

Alongside lifestyle modifications, Semaglutide has the potential to support a 15-20% weight loss of total body weight, making it a valuable tool in managing diabetes and obesity. It’s important to recognize that lifestyle factors such as getting adequate sleep, stress management, movement, and consuming nutrient-dense foods will be a part of any long-term successful weight-loss journey.

The initial weight loss medical evaluation and monthly medical evaluations are eligible for insurance coverage. The monthly program fee of $329 every four weeks is not eligible for insurance expenses.

Mounjaro is a similar medication, but it is different. Mounjaro is only available for people with a diagnosis of diabetes. It is a little more effective for weight loss and is currently going through the FDA approval process for weight loss. Semaglutide is branded under the names of Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. 

Our Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss program includes regular body composition scale measurements to obtain a comprehensive view into your body composition analysis to evaluate that you are losing fat, not muscle, and staying well hydrated. Our medical providers can then work with you to suggest additional movement and muscle building plans when indicated.
