Semaglutide for Weight Loss & Metabolic Health
Semaglutide is a groundbreaking medication that supports weight loss and metabolic health by mimicking GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a natural hormone responsible for regulating appetite, blood sugar, and energy balance. At Integrative Medical Group in Conroe, Texas, Andrew Martin, MSN-FNP-C, and his team offer Semaglutide treatments as part of a comprehensive weight management program.
If you struggle with weight loss, insulin resistance, or metabolic dysfunction, Semaglutide may be the key to achieving long-term success. Call our office today to schedule a consultation.
Semaglutide Q & A
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist that influences appetite control and metabolic function. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, it has been proven highly effective in supporting sustainable weight loss by:
- Reducing hunger and cravings
- Delaying gastric emptying, keeping you full longer
- Enhancing insulin secretion, improving blood sugar regulation
- Suppressing glucagon release, preventing blood sugar spikes
- Increasing energy expenditure, helping the body burn fat more efficiently
How does Semaglutide support weight loss?
Semaglutide works by targeting the brain’s hunger-regulating centers, reducing appetite and caloric intake naturally. By making small dietary adjustments and maintaining an active lifestyle, patients experience consistent, long-term weight reduction without the rebound effect associated with crash diets.
Who is a good candidate for Semaglutide treatment?
Semaglutide is typically prescribed to individuals who:
- Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health concerns (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome)
- Have a BMI of 30 or higher, even without additional health conditions
- Struggle with appetite control and portion management
- Are committed to lifestyle modifications to support long-term results
During your consultation at Integrative Medical Group, our team will assess your health, goals, and eligibility for Semaglutide treatment.
What can I expect from a Semaglutide treatment plan?
Effective Semaglutide treatment goes beyond just a prescription. At Integrative Medical Group, we take a personalized approach to ensure optimal results with minimal side effects. Your treatment plan includes:
- Medical Evaluation & Customized Dosing – We determine the minimum effective dose to maximize benefits while minimizing side effects.

- Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments – Regular check-ins allow us to track progress and adjust your dosage as needed.
How long should I take Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is not meant for lifelong use. The goal is to use it temporarily, in combination with healthy habits, to reset your metabolism and establish lasting lifestyle changes. Most patients take Semaglutide for several months to a year, depending on their progress and individual needs.
What are the potential side effects of Semaglutide?
While Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as:
- Nausea or stomach discomfort
- Mild constipation or diarrhea
- Fatigue or dizziness
Using the lowest effective dose significantly reduces side effects, and our team will provide guidance on managing any discomfort throughout your treatment.
