What is Ozempic and Why is Everyone Talking About it?
Ozempic, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. This medication has been studied and proven to help with weight loss, while also benefiting those dealing with high blood pressure and excess weight.
How Ozempic Works?
Ozempic mimics GLP-1, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. By stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon secretion, and slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach, it promotes a feeling of fullness, curbs cravings, and encourages healthy, substantial weight loss over time.
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 is an FDA-approved medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes, lower A1C levels, and reduce cardiovascular risk. It has not received approval solely for weight loss, but numerous studies show its potential to promote weight loss, and it can be prescribed off-label for this purpose.
Wegovy is part of a medical weight loss program, available in a slightly different dosage. It was approved by the FDA for weight loss in 2021 and is used specifically to treat obesity and overweight conditions.

Potential Side Effects from Ozempic
Side effects of Ozempic can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve over time. While rare, serious allergic reactions can occur, but they are not commonly experienced by most patients.
In your initial consultation, Dr. Michael Rankin will review your medical background, including any pre-existing conditions and medications you’re currently taking. He will also discuss the potential side effects of Ozempic and tailor a treatment plan that best fits your health profile.
Know Your Medical History Before Starting Ozempic
To guarantee your safety, Lifestyle Med Spa conducts a thorough medical assessment before starting Ozempic treatments. We evaluate factors such as thyroid cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, and low blood sugar, alongside your BMI, to understand how Ozempic will affect you. This detailed process ensures that your weight management plan is specifically designed to suit your health profile for optimal results.
How Did Lifestyle Med Spa Come to Provide Ozempic Treatments
Dr. Kim Barrus, our chief of operations, experienced firsthand the benefits of Ozempic, losing 22 pounds in four months and feeling more energetic, confident, and healthier. His own success with the treatment inspired him to dive deeper into the research, and he ultimately opened the medical spa to offer the same life-changing results to his clients, alongside other innovative treatments.
Lifestyle Changes to Accelerate Weight Loss
Our approach to Ozempic treatment goes beyond just injections. We assess your diet and exercise routine, then collaborate with you to find simple yet enjoyable lifestyle changes that can accelerate your weight loss. The focus is on making these changes easy and sustainable for long-term results.
To track your progress, we include an Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan, which provides detailed data from more than 40 measurements. This advanced tool allows us to monitor your body mass, health indexes, and ensure that your weight loss is healthy while preserving lean muscle.
