The prosperIV wellness program is now offering “Semaglutide” treatments, a peptide that increases insulin secretion, lowers blood sugar levels, helps reduce your appetite, and cravings.
Why Settle for Less?
Obesity affects over 100 million people in the U.S. and is linked to the majority of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers. Even a modest weight loss of just 5% to 10% of your total body weight can produce significant health benefits, such as improvements in mood, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Our cutting-edge peptide treatments are here to provide the powerful medical support you need to achieve these vital health improvements.
Peptides: What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a powerful medication designed to support significant weight loss. It works by acting just like a naturally occurring appetite hormone in your gut called GLP-1. This hormone primarily helps control how your body processes sugar, but its main benefit is that it signals to your brain that you are full.
By working this way, Semaglutide achieves three major goals: it helps your body manage blood sugar, it dramatically reduces your appetite, and it minimizes food cravings. This makes it a new and effective treatment option for adults who struggle with obesity (a Body Mass Index, or BMI, over 30) and are looking to incorporate medical support into a comprehensive weight management program.

What to Expect
Since semaglutide affects how your body perceives and digests food, it can cause gastrointestinal upset and several common symptoms when you first start using it. As your body adjusts, semaglutide should give you a feeling of fullness and satisfaction that makes it easier to reduce your caloric intake and enjoy significant weight loss.
Some of the common, expected symptoms are: Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, tiredness, dizziness, and constipation may occur. Nausea usually lessens as you continue to use semaglutide and use natural interventions to combat these symptoms. If any of these effects lasts longer than 3 days or worsens, inform your provider, PCP, or pharmacist promptly.
In addition to taking Semaglutide injections, it is also essential that you maintain a healthy lifestyle for this treatment to be effective. This means some very imperative lifestyle changes. Eating nutritious meals that are plant-based, organic, and exercising 30 minutes (any activity), 3-4 times per week.
Eating healthy foods that are called Macronutrients such as proteins (seafoods, animal meats, eggs, beans, or nuts, etc.), complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, etc.), along with healthy fats, will help curb cravings. Exercising burns off extra calories and helps keep your metabolism active so that you can continue losing weight even after you stop taking the injections.
Some people begin to see results within the first eight weeks, but most begin to see results within 12 weeks. Clinical trials have shown that study participants taking a weekly dose of semaglutide had an average reduction in body weight of 5-10 percent. Going slow is ideal in order to prevent the side effects that will occur if your body is losing weight too fast.
*Patients should expect to commit for 3 months, each month is evaluated by the medical director before next steps are recommended.
What is the clinical data that supports this?
Clinical Trials for Anti-obesity Effect of Semaglutide
Semaglutide has exhibited significant weight reducing property in various phase-3 SUSTAIN and PIONEER trials over dulaglutide and liraglutide. These results encouraged the researchers to carry out trials on weekly-once subcutaneous semaglutide for better management of obesity.
A cross over trial study on 30 obese subjects investigated the mechanism of semaglutide by studying energy intake, appetite sensation, gastric emptying, and postprandial glucose as well as triglyceride metabolism. Participants received weekly-once s.c. semaglutide (initially 0.25, then 0.5 and finally 1.0 mg with dose escalation) or placebo for 12-weeks, followed by a washout period of 5 to 7 weeks, and finally another 12-weeks treatment period. Semaglutide has shown about 24% drop in net calorie consumption with 5 kg weight reduction. Therefore, lower energy intake, enhanced satiation, less food craving, reduced body fat and weight loss are the plausible mechanism for the anorexic effect of semaglutide.
Semaglutide is a clinically approved drug for type 2 diabetes, obesity, and a clinical trial candidate for management of NASH, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Semaglutide is well tolerated and can be safely used in patients with renal, hepatic and CV diseases. Hepatoprotective and neuroprotective role of semaglutide in abating NASH and neurodegenerative diseases respectively has been proved in phase-2 trials and is still under study. It improves insulin resistance in the periphery as well as in the brain, reduces body weight, and reduces fat content in the liver by acting as an agonist on GLP-1 receptors. The efficacy of semaglutide in alleviating cardiac injury in COVID-19 patients with diabetes, obesity, hypertension and CV diseases is being studied. Based on drug repurposing strategy, researchers are trying their best to explore various therapeutic potentials of semaglutide. Clinical efficacy in different therapeutic fields proved semaglutide to be an indispensable treatment option for better management of “diabesity” and an emerging cynosure for management of NASH and neurodegenerative diseases.
