Moving forward with no regrets
If youve struggled to lose weight despite reasonable effort with diet and exercise, if you suspect hormones or thyroid might be involved, if youre curious about GLP-1s but cautious about how theyre prescribed online, or if youre already on one and want a clinical team behind you yes, a consultation is worth your time
If you use oral contraceptives, consider switching to a non-oral contraceptive method (such as an IUD, patch, or implant), or use an additional barrier method (such as condoms) for at least 4 weeks after starting semaglutide and for at least 4 weeks after each dose increase
Even though everyones experience is different, both clinical research and real world experience suggest that most people, including me, start noticing changes within the first few weeks, with more noticeable weight loss over the following months
If anything feels unclear, dont guess
