We’re proud to offer the Semaglutide program, a groundbreaking approach to weight loss that’s helping adults across the country live healthier, fuller lives. We’re founded on 18 years of experience in helping patients feel their best, both inside and out.
This comprehensive program is designed to not only help you lose weight but to empower you with the knowledge and support you need to make lasting lifestyle changes.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that’s FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or being overweight often with at least one weight-related disease, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone plays a vital role in decreasing appetite and blood sugar levels.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide works by acting on receptors in your brain and GI tract that control your appetite and food intake. By activating these receptors, Semaglutide helps you feel full faster and longer, leading to a natural reduction in calorie consumption. It also slows down stomach emptying, which contributes to prolonged feelings of fullness. It also can decrease cravings and improves blood sugar levels.
Semaglutide for Weight Loss: Wegovy & Ozempic
You might have heard of Semaglutide under its brand names, such as Wegovy and Ozempic. While both contain the same active ingredient, they are approved for different uses:
- Wegovy is specifically FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or being overweight with at least one weight-related condition.
- Ozempic is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, it has also been shown to promote weight loss, leading some individuals to use it off-label for this purpose.
At BESANA Health & Wellness, our medical team uses Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight management. Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has a slightly different chemical composition and is a newer version of these medicines. We will help you determine which medication and dosage are right for you based on your individual health history and goals.

What Results Can You Expect with Semaglutide?
Clinical trials have shown that Semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss. On average, people taking Wegovy lost around 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks, while those taking Ozempic lost around 6-12% of their body weight over a similar period.
It’s important to remember that individual results may vary. Factors that can influence your weight loss journey include your adherence to the medication, diet, sleep, water intake and exercise recommendations. Our team at BESANA is dedicated to helping you maximize your results through personalized guidance and support.
