Weight Loss

Losing weight is rough!! You, like many, have tried most fad or crash diets from the Atkins diet, to the liquid diet, to the grapefruit only diet… You have likely found yourself in the midst of the yo-yo diet pattern – starving yourself endlessly and spending hours on a treadmill only to fall short of your goal. Or worse, you find yourself gaining all that weight (and then some) back. It feels daunting, depressing, and disheartening. You are not alone in this struggle and here at Mosaic biohealth we want to help you lose weight the healthy way. Utilizing a host of methods through medical supervision we want to get you started on your weight loss and weight maintenance journey.

One method we use, and have found highly successful, is Semaglutide. Semaglutide is considered to be a breakthrough in hormonal treatment of obesity. It has recently received FDA approval for weight loss and weight management. Semaglutide has additionally been used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. You may know it by its brand names: Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus. The primary difference between these brand names and Semaglutide is cost. The brand name versions vary greatly in price – reaching highs between $1500 – $2,000 a month… with insurance! We offer the generic form – Semaglutide, allowing us to provide the same benefits at a much lower cost.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone that acts on appetite centers in the brain and in the gut, producing feelings of satiety or feeling full. In a sense, patients can eat less and not be bothered by hunger pains and cravings. Semaglutide is a GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s) that safely kick-starts your metabolic health. Research shows that, in combination with medical monitoring and lifestyle tweaks, GLP-1s are the most effective and safe long-term option for weight loss.
