SEMAGLUTIDE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM PROGRAM
(Rapid and Easy Weight Loss Treatment)

What Is Semaglutide Weight Loss Therapy?

Semaglutide is a prescription medication that acts on GLP-1 receptors, which play a role in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. Depending on the specific formulation, semaglutide is used to treat type 2 diabetes or, in certain FDA-approved products, to support long-term weight management in eligible adults.

​

For weight management, semaglutide can help people feel full sooner, experience less hunger, and manage food intake more effectively. It is generally used alongside nutrition changes, physical activity, and other health-supporting habits.

​

Semaglutide is not a quick fix, and results vary from person to person. A healthcare professional can help determine whether medication is an appropriate part of your overall care plan.

​

A More Personal Approach to Weight Management

At Palm Springs Wellness, we believe your care should reflect your health—not a one-size-fits-all formula.

 

Our semaglutide weight management program is designed to help you make informed decisions through:

• Individualized assessment: Review your medical history, current medications, health concerns, and weight management goals.

• Appropriate laboratory testing: Your provider may recommend tests based on your health history and clinical needs.

• Personalized care planning: Discuss treatment options and practical lifestyle strategies that fit your circumstances.

• Ongoing follow-up: Review progress, address concerns, and monitor your response to treatment as appropriate.

​

Our goal is to help you understand your options and make decisions with professional guidance.

​

How Does the Program Work?

​

Step 1: Schedule a Consultation

Start by booking a weight management appointment. We'll review your goals, medical history, and questions to help determine whether semaglutide may be suitable for you.

​

Step 2: Complete Your Health Assessment

Your provider will assess relevant health information and determine whether additional laboratory testing or other evaluations are needed. Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and medical suitability.

​

Step 3: Discuss Your Personalized Plan

If treatment is appropriate, your provider will explain the recommended approach, potential benefits and risks, follow-up requirements, and expected costs—including medication expenses.

​

Step 4: Stay Connected With Your Care Team

Follow-up care helps your provider monitor progress, review side effects, and make appropriate adjustments when needed. Nutrition, physical activity, and sustainable daily habits remain important parts of long-term weight management.

​​​​​

Am I a Candidate for Semaglutide Weight Management?

Semaglutide may be an option for some adults who meet medical criteria for prescription weight management. Eligibility depends on the specific medication, your health history, and your provider's evaluation.

​

The current Palm Springs Wellness program guidelines list the following general BMI criteria:

• A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher; or

• A BMI of 27 or higher with certain weight-related health conditions.

These are screening criteria, not a guarantee of eligibility or treatment. Your provider will determine whether the proposed treatment is appropriate for you.

​​

Semaglutide may not be suitable for everyone. Be sure to discuss your medical history, all medications and supplements you take, pregnancy plans, and any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or other relevant conditions. Certain semaglutide products carry a boxed warning concerning thyroid C-cell tumors and are contraindicated in people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2).

​​

If semaglutide is not appropriate for you, our team can discuss whether other weight management approaches may be suitable.

What Results Can I Expect?

Every person's experience with semaglutide is different. Outcomes can depend on the medication prescribed, treatment duration, individual health factors, tolerability, and consistency with the overall care plan.

Some people experience reduced hunger and gradual weight loss, while others respond differently. No specific amount of weight loss or timeline can be guaranteed.

​

Our approach emphasizes realistic expectations, appropriate monitoring, and healthy habits that can support your overall well-being. Your provider can discuss what may be reasonable for your circumstances.

​

Is Semaglutide Safe? Understanding the Possible Side Effects

Like all prescription medications, semaglutide can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. Symptoms may be more noticeable when starting treatment or changing the dose.

​

Less common but potentially serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, dehydration-related kidney injury, and severe gastrointestinal reactions. Your provider should review your individual risks and the prescribing information for the specific product being considered.

​

Seek prompt medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain, serious allergic symptoms, or other concerning symptoms. Semaglutide should be used only under appropriate medical supervision. Do not change your dose or combine medications without guidance from your prescribing clinician.
