WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
Semaglutide / Levocarnitine
Semaglutide is a weekly injection that promotes weight loss. Semaglutide is 94% similar to the natural GLP-1 our body makes. This acts as a physiological regulator of appetite. This reduces food intake and feelings of hunger.
Semaglutide is a Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) produced by the gut. It increases insulin production, a hormone that lowers the blood sugar level while inhibiting glucagon secretion, which is a hormone that raises blood sugar, and reduces appetite and energy intake while delaying gastric emptying.In 2017 this drug was approved as an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. In June 2021, it got approved for chronic weight management in obese individuals with a (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) or overweight (initial BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) with at least one weight-related comorbidity.
L-Carnitine is an amino acid that benefits energy levels by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be burned up and used as fuel. For this reason, many take carnitine as a weight-loss supplement to help accelerate fat burning.
Together this combination works to:
For long term success, treatment will include recommendations for diet modifications, exercise, and behavioral modifications if necessary.
Weight loss is an important component to health. Reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, joint disease, and overall quality of life.

Together this combination works to:
- Reduces food intake by lowering appetite.
- It slows food digestion in the stomach.
- Decrease body fat percentage.
- Weight loss.
- Decreased cardiovascular outcomes in subjects with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Lower HbA1c levels.
- Enhance the growth of β cells in the pancreas.
For long term success, treatment will include recommendations for diet modifications, exercise, and behavioral modifications if necessary.
