Semaglutide is a medicine which is similar to a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1). GLP-1 is produced in the body after eating a meal. Drugs belonging to this class are normally given as an injection and are available on the market for treatment of diabetes and obesity.

 

What is GLP?

Your body produces a number of hormones that affect your appetite. GLP-1 is a hormone that is produced when you eat. It stops you from feeling hungry and creates feelings of fullness. It also improves your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels.  This in combination with a healthy diet and exercise will reduce body weight.

 

At Refine, we have developed the Semaglutide Protocol for treatment and management of overweight and obese individuals with a BMI of 25 or greater. Goals of therapy are to reduce body weight and maintain a lower body weight long term. An initial weight loss goal of 10 percent of body weight achieved over the first 3-6 months is a recommended target; however, treatment plans are individualized for each patient.  Book a complimentary consultation to see if this therapy could be a good option for you.

​

Treatment starts at $85/week.
