Semaglutide is a medication called a “GLP-1 receptor agonist.” Semaglutes were originally used to help people with type 2 diabetes. As the course of this FDA-approved treatment continued, researchers realized their patients were achieving improvements in their type 2 diabetes, and they were also experiencing significant weight loss. In 2022, the FDA approved semaglutide as a weight loss treatment.

HRT or BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) can deliver several benefits as part of your weight loss strategy. Though not a first go-to for weight loss, hormone replacement therapy can restore hormone balance to a patient’s system so that it can function properly. If hormone imbalance is considered part of the weight loss issue, HRT can help your system rebalance and begin to address the weight loss.
HRT addresses hormonal imbalances that cause weight gain or are a stumbling block to weight loss. Hormone replacement therapy can also help reduce belly fat that has increased because of hormonal changes.
The first step is our personal consultation. Blood tests may be done along with a review of your medical history. Only by knowing your past health issues and your body’s current state of function can we pick the right treatment for your situation.
