Semaglutide for Weight Control
Step 1
SEMAGLUTIDE IS A GLP-1 (GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1) RECEPTOR AGONIST
This means it imitates the hormone GLP-1, which controls appetite and food consumption. Furthermore, when Semaglutide is taken weekly, it reduces the hormone glucagon to curb hunger. It also slows down gastric emptying, helping you feel fuller after eating.
Step 2
SEMAGLUTIDE INJECTIONS PAIRED WITH EXERCISE LED TO AN AVERAGE REDUCTION IN BODY WEIGHT
A recent study of 1,961 individuals showed that those with a BMI over 30 and no diabetes who used Semaglutide injections with exercise had a mean body weight reduction of 14.9% over 68 weeks. In contrast, the placebo group experienced only a 2.4% average weight decrease.
Step 3
SEMAGLUTIDE DELIVERED EVEN GREATER WEIGHT REDUCTION
Another study found that when paired with behavioral therapy and a low-calorie diet, Semaglutide resulted in even more substantial weight loss. Semaglutide is commonly prescribed to men and women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above, or to individuals with a BMI of 27 or more who also have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or other conditions that make losing weight more challenging.
Why begin Semaglutide Injections ?
Semaglutide injections provide numerous benefits to eligible individuals, including:
- Notably decreasing weight when paired with improvements in diet and exercise
- Delivering steady, safe weight loss over a prolonged timeframe
- Lowering the risk of heart and cardiovascular conditions after reaching a healthy weight
- Helping you appear and feel healthier
- Needing just one injection each week
How Fast Does Semaglutide Work For Weight Loss?
Patients typically begin noticing weight reduction after 4 or more weeks on a 0.5 mg dose. Some individuals may not observe weight loss until around the 6-week mark.
Research has demonstrated that Semaglutide yields the best results when paired with exercise and dietary changes. As such, the duration of treatment may vary based on existing health conditions (if applicable) and the ability to adopt lasting lifestyle changes to sustain a healthy weight.
Could You be a candidate?
If you have excess weight or obesity without major health issues, you may qualify as a candidate for Semaglutide injections.
Potential Side Effects of Semaglutide Injections
Possible side effects may include headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, mood changes, constipation or diarrhea, heartburn, and bloating. Though uncommon, serious side effects can involve pancreatitis, allergic reactions, kidney damage, gallstones, and more.
Your healthcare provider at Men’s Health Clinic will carefully review potential side effects with you and address any concerns about the injections.

Client testimonials
They have been very communicative about the process. I got a free blood test so service was really good and they checked everything and told me what I need (TRT) and why I need it! I would have no concerns with recommending GameDay.
I had been quietly struggling with focus and motivation at work for over a year. No matter how much I rested or tried to fix it with diet and exercise, something felt off. I found Gameday Men’s Health through a coworker who had similar issues, and I’m so glad I followed through. The team was knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that made sense. They ran a few simple tests, and sure enough, my levels were out of balance. The treatment plan they gave me was clear, and they checked in regularly to adjust as needed. It wasn’t just about feeling “normal” again it was about unlocking a level of mental clarity and energy I hadn’t felt in years.
Testosterone therapy always sounded extreme to me but the way GameDay handles it made me trust the process. It’s discreet, professional, and results-driven. I feel years younger.
