Ozempic or Semaglutide – What is the difference?
“Semaglutide has changed my life! My clothes fit appropriately, my appetite has shrunk, and I feel more balanced and confident. Working with nurse Amanda at the Union St. Hydration in New Bedford has been a smooth process. She’s very knowledgable and has made me feel totally comfortable with this medication. Grateful to have been introduced to Semaglutide and to have a wonderful person (Amanda) to assist me with it! ”
The weight loss solution best for you broken down
Summer is just weeks away and we all want to feel and look our best. Did you know we offer medically monitored weight loss programs at both our locations? And they are $50 dollars off just mention you read this blog (and loved learning) to get the $50 off your first treatment.
Now with so much “hype” around the “new” weight loss solutions on the market, how can you decide what is best for you? That’s where we come in – let’s break it down. Now for the breakdown or umm mic drop.
Ozempic is a weekly injectable medication that is FDA approved to help adults with Type 2 Diabetes manage their blood sugar. Although not an official weight loss medication, research suggests that people who take Ozempic may lose a modest amount of weight.
Now did you know that Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic that helps patients lose weight?
Semaglutide is the first drug since Saxenda (flashback to 2014) approved to treat chronic weight management. Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating. In other words, you don’t feel like eating or have normal cravings.
This is a game changer as 70% of American adults are considered overweight. So, there is no shame in getting a little help to kick off your healthiest self plus Semiglutide has proven to have the fastest results on the market today. Semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss, especially when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
On average, if taking Semaglutide for weight loss you can expect to lose around 10-15% of your initial body weight over several months especially under the care of medical professionals (hello, our dream team!) Did you know all staff at both our locations are Registered Nurses and our awesome owner is a Surgical Nurse Practitioner and Primary Care Provider (whaaat?!). From your dosage to dream goals, we’ve got you covered. Don’t just take our word, here are our clients that lives changed for the better on Semaglutide.
“An off scale victory because we all know the scale can be discouraging while trying to lose weight.I tried on a pair of size 40 jeans for the first time in 8 years and they FIT with no struggle to button them, might even need a belt! I almost cried! Thank you Laura and your knowledgeable team at Plymouth UV Lounge and Union St. Hydration for introducing me to Semaglutide and guiding my progress!”
“After years of battling of an eating disorder and over eating, never feeling like I could dig my way out. Now this simple thing (Semaglutide) has made me feel like I’m supposed to!
