Is Semaglutide Bad for Me?
Nope, it’s not bad for you at all. In fact, we’ve seen some pretty amazing health benefits. Think of it as a superhero for your body. Semaglutide helps lower cholesterol, reduces inflammation, and even improves your lab results. It was originally designed to help diabetics manage their insulin levels by breaking down sugar – which, by the way, is a big bad guy when it comes to inflammation. With less sugar causing trouble, you might notice clearer skin and fewer migraines. Pretty cool, right?
Will I Have to Stay on It Forever? And If I Stop, Will I Gain the Weight Right Back?
No, you won’t have to stay on it forever, but you might want to because of how awesome you’ll feel. Seriously though, semaglutide helps retrain your brain to stop those pesky food cravings and lose weight in a healthy way. So even if you stop taking it, you won’t just bounce back to your old weight.
Will I Need to Change My Diet?
Yes, you will. Semaglutide isn’t a magic wand that lets you eat all the junk food you want. What it does is help you control those cravings, making it easier to choose healthier foods and keep your calorie intake in check. So yes, you’ll still need to make good food choices.
Will I Lose Muscle?
Not if you keep up with your exercise and eat plenty of protein. Semaglutide helps you feel full faster, so just make sure you’re prioritizing protein in your meals. If you skip the gym and skimp on protein, then you might see some muscle loss, but we’re here to help you stay on track!
Will I Get Ozempic Face?
Ah, the dreaded “Ozempic face”—that sagging skin some experience after rapid weight loss. If you’re planning a larger weight loss journey, know that there are effective ways to support skin rejuvenation and restore volume. It’s something to keep in mind as part of your overall wellness approach.
Is It Super Expensive?
Semaglutide costs between $350-$450 on average. At Youthbar, we offer Compounded GLP1, and GLP-1 which is the same $350-450 on average. You’ll also have two lab tests throughout the year, which are usually covered by insurance. Think about all the money you’ll save by eating out less, drinking less alcohol, and cutting back on those late-night Doordash orders. It all adds up!
