Semaglutide Candidates

Semaglutide injections are the right fit for patients working to lose weight but have struggled despite giving it their best effort with dieting and weight loss in McKinney. Patients can reference the following list to determine if medical weight loss is right for them.

  • BMI of 27 or higher (overweight or obese)
  • At least one weight-related condition (hypertension, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol)
  • Regularly diet and exercise but cannot seem to shed additional weight
  • Suffer from a genetic condition or chronic illness that impacts ability to lose weight
  • Patient’s family has a genetic predisposition to obesity

During Semaglutide

What to do:

  • Eat foods with a mix of prebiotic fibers and starches like legumes, kiwi, and overnight oats to support digestion.
  • Eat smaller meals, but eat them more often. This helps diminish stomach discomfort throughout the day.
  • Drink plenty of water, at least 80 ounces daily. Staying hydrated helps your digestive tract work its best.
  • Practice calisthenic exercises like walking, free-weight lifting, or squatting, and space out long periods of sitting with walking.

What to avoid:

  • Avoid fatty, fried foods high in saturated and trans fat. These types of food cause strain to the digestive tract.
  • Rotate the injection site regularly to different injection areas such as the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
  • Avoid a sedentary lifestyle.

What to Expect

During a patient’s initial consultation, they will discuss their weight loss goals and review their medical history with Dr. Ralston. He customizes each treatment to address his patients’ specific weight loss concerns, ensuring they receive a semaglutide treatment tailored to their unique needs.

Dr. Ralston will develop a treatment plan for each patient’s Semaglutide injections. Patients will leave with an understanding of how to safely administer semaglutide at home. Patients can read detailed injection instructions found on every pen, but the practice is available by phone or email to answer questions they may have about any part of the process, from effects to injection site.

Semaglutide is often prescribed for weekly usage for weight loss in McKinney. Patients start at a lower dosage and Dr. Ralston may increase the dose if the patient’s body forms a tolerance to the drug.
