Semaglutide for weight loss in Winter Garden, FL
Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 medication that reduces appetite, slows digestion, and helps many adults lose a meaningful amount of weight when combined with nutrition and movement. At Reset You MD it's prescribed and monitored by a physician as part of a complete program, never as a standalone shot.
How semaglutide works
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a hormone your gut releases after eating. It signals fullness to the brain, slows how quickly the stomach empties, and steadies blood sugar, so smaller portions feel satisfying and cravings quiet down.
Who it's for
- Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as prediabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
- People who have plateaued with diet and exercise alone
- Patients who want medical supervision, lab monitoring, and a plan for maintaining results
What the program includes
- Consultation and metabolic labs to confirm eligibility and safety
- A weekly dose that starts low and increases gradually to limit side effects
- Body-composition tracking and protein and resistance-training guidance to protect lean muscle
- Monthly follow-ups to adjust dosing and troubleshoot
- A maintenance strategy for when you reach your goal
Side effects and safety
The most common side effects are nausea, constipation, and reduced appetite, especially in the first weeks and after dose increases; most ease with time and gradual titration. Semaglutide isn't appropriate for everyone — including people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2, a history of pancreatitis, or who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Dr. Chander reviews your history and medications before prescribing and monitors you throughout.
Semaglutide FAQ
How much weight can I expect to lose?
In clinical trials, adults using semaglutide with lifestyle changes lost on average about 15% of their body weight over roughly 16 months. Individual results vary, and a good program is judged by fat lost and muscle kept, not the scale alone.
How is it given?
A small once-weekly injection under the skin with a fine needle. We teach you how in the office; most patients find it easier than expected.
What happens when I stop?
Appetite tends to return, which is why our program builds habits, protein targets, and strength training from day one, and why we plan the taper with you rather than stopping abruptly.
