On this particular visit, I went in for a hydration IV, and staff could not have been more accommodating. There was a sale going on, so the price was very reasonable if not a bargain! The room was comfortable, with snacks and TV and the chairs Were super cozy with a nice soft blanket. I don’t know what more one could expect. Nicole, Erika and Christina always go out of their way with five star service.

What is Ozempic and Why is Everyone Talking About it?

The medication Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It’s been studied for its benefits in supporting weight loss and improving conditions such as high blood pressure and obesity.

How Ozempic Works?

By mimicking GLP-1, Ozempic supports the regulation of blood sugar levels. The hormone stimulates insulin production, reduces glucagon release, and slows the emptying of the stomach, leading to reduced hunger and cravings, an extended feeling of fullness, and ultimately encouraging healthy weight loss.

Ozempic Clinical Trials for Weight Loss

202 lb average starting weight

219 lb average starting weight

What is Ozempic Approved for

Ozempic is primarily approved for managing type 2 diabetes and lowering A1C levels, while also reducing cardiovascular risk. Although not directly approved for weight loss, research has demonstrated its weight-reducing effects, leading to its off-label use for this purpose.

Wegovy a medical weight loss medication, but with different dosages and FDA approval specifically for weight management. It was authorized in 2021 for the treatment of obesity and related weight concerns.

Potential Side Effects from Ozempic

Some of the most common side effects associated with Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve over time. Serious allergic reactions are rare but can occur in a very small number of individuals.

Dr. Michael Rankin will review your health history during your initial consultation, addressing any pre-existing conditions and discussing the potential side effects of Ozempic. This conversation will help ensure that you understand the treatment and its effects as part of your weight loss plan.

Know Your Medical History Before Starting Ozempic

Lifestyle Med Spa goes the extra mile to prioritize your health before starting Ozempic treatments. We conduct a thorough review of your medical history, including screening for thyroid cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, low blood sugar, and more, along with a BMI measurement. This process allows us to design a personalized weight loss plan that maximizes results while ensuring your safety.

How Did Lifestyle Med Spa Come to Provide Ozempic Treatments

Dr. Kim Barrus, our chief of operations, lost 22 pounds over the course of four months while using Ozempic, experiencing an increase in energy, confidence, and health. Driven by the positive effects, he immersed himself in further research and decided to open the medical spa, bringing the same powerful benefits to his clients, in addition to other valuable treatments.

Lifestyle Changes to Accelerate Weight Loss

In addition to the Ozempic injections, we focus on your overall wellness by evaluating your diet and exercise habits, collaborating with you to identify enjoyable, simple lifestyle changes that can enhance your weight loss results. Our goal is to make this process as fun and easy as possible.

To monitor your progress, we also offer the Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan, which takes more than 40 measurements to give us a complete picture of your body. This detailed analysis helps us ensure that you’re losing weight in a healthy way while preserving muscle mass.
