What is Ozempic and Why is Everyone Talking About it?
Ozempic is classified as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It’s been shown to support weight loss and manage conditions like high blood pressure and obesity, offering a helpful treatment for those struggling with these issues.
How Ozempic Works?
Ozempic imitates GLP-1, a natural hormone that helps maintain blood sugar control. It works by stimulating insulin release, inhibiting glucagon production, and slowing gastric emptying. This combination reduces hunger and cravings, keeping you full longer and supporting dramatic yet healthy weight loss.
Ozempic Clinical Trials for Weight Loss
202 lb average starting weight
- 8 lb Weight Loss on 0.5mg Dose of Ozempic
- 10 lb Weight Loss on 1mg Dose of Ozempic
- Versus
- 3 lb Placebo Weight Loss
219 lb average starting weight
- 12 lb Weight Loss on 1mg Dose of Ozempic
- 14 lb Weight Loss on 2mg Dose of Ozempic
- Vs
- 3 lb Placebo Weight Loss
What is Ozempic Approved for
Ozempic, approved for managing type 2 diabetes and reducing cardiovascular risk, works to lower A1C levels. While it’s not officially approved for weight loss, evidence shows that it often leads to weight loss, and it can be prescribed off-label for this purpose.
Wegovy, part of a medical weight loss program, was formulated at different doses and approved in 2021 by the FDA to treat obesity and assist with weight management.

Potential Side Effects from Ozempic
Ozempic is commonly associated with side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and improve over time as your body adapts to the medication. Serious allergic reactions are possible but very rare and generally not a concern for most patients.
Dr. Michael Rankin will conduct a comprehensive review of your health history during your initial consultation. He will address any concerns regarding pre-existing conditions and potential side effects, ensuring a well-informed and personalized approach to your weight loss treatment.
Know Your Medical History Before Starting Ozempic
Before beginning Ozempic treatments at Lifestyle Med Spa, we focus on your health and safety by conducting a detailed medical review. In addition to measuring your BMI, we screen for conditions like thyroid cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, and low blood sugar. This thorough evaluation helps us tailor your treatment plan, ensuring Ozempic is the best option for your weight management goals and long-term health.
How Did Lifestyle Med Spa Come to Provide Ozempic Treatments
Our chief of operations, Dr. Kim Barrus, used Ozempic and lost 22 pounds in just four months, gaining more energy, confidence, and better health. Intrigued by the profound changes he experienced, he explored further research on Ozempic and founded the medical spa to help others achieve the same benefits, alongside a full range of medical spa treatments.
Lifestyle Changes to Accelerate Weight Loss
In addition to Ozempic injections, we take a personalized approach by reviewing your diet and exercise habits and suggesting fun, easy lifestyle changes that can help accelerate your weight loss. We aim to make these changes both enjoyable and achievable for you.
We also offer the Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan, which provides a comprehensive analysis of over 40 different body measurements. This scan helps us ensure that your weight loss journey remains healthy and sustainable, while preserving valuable lean muscle mass.
