Semaglutide

Semaglutide

Marina Ivanovsky, APN, has been working in the weight loss space since 2003 and has experience with prescribing appetite suppressants like Adipex, Qsymia, Wellbutrin, and Contrave. Even though weight loss medications have helped many people, they were largely temporary solutions, quick fixes with multiple side effects and contraindications.

Never before have we had a weight loss medication on the market that simultaneously improves health and trains your brain, but now we do!

Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication that is FDA approved for long-term weight management. It is sold under names such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and more.

This once-a-week injection has been called a game changer for weight loss. Our clients lose 3-5 pounds per week on average using this treatment. Studies have found that results of semaglutide therapy were compatible with those of bariatric surgery, allowing people to lose 15-20% of their body weight.

Before & After

“My weight loss journey with Marina Lifestyle Medicine began with them designing my personalized Beyond Weight program. With this plan, they helped me to lose 20 lbs. by creating healthy choices and turning them into healthy habits. However, it was when Marina introduced the Semaglutide weekly injections that I saw my best and quickest results. I was able to lose an additional 20 lbs. in just 3 months with Semaglutide, bringing my total weight loss to 40 lbs. in 10 months with Beyond Weight!

It has now been 4 months since my last Semaglutide injection, and I have been able to maintain my weight with the healthy habits I developed through the program. I feel fantastic and cannot recommend Beyond Weight and Semaglutide enough.“
