What is Ozempic and Why is Everyone Talking About it?
Ozempic, is part of a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It has been studied for its ability to support weight loss, and its effectiveness in treating conditions such as high blood pressure and obesity.
How Ozempic Works?
Ozempic works by mimicking the natural action of GLP-1, a hormone that helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels. It prompts the release of insulin, suppresses glucagon production, and delays gastric emptying, all of which help curb food intake, reduce cravings, and support gradual but significant 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 is prescribed for managing diabetes by lowering A1C levels and reducing cardiovascular risks. While not specifically approved for weight loss, evidence suggests that it aids in weight reduction, and physicians can prescribe it off-label for that reason.
Wegovy is the same medication—but with a different dosage and approval status. Approved by the FDA in 2021, it is specifically intended for weight loss.

Potential Side Effects from Ozempic
The most commonly reported side effects of Ozempic are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These side effects are generally mild and often improve over time. While serious allergic reactions are very rare, they are still possible, and any concerns should be addressed immediately with your healthcare provider.
During your first consultation, Dr. Michael Rankin will review your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions to assess your suitability for Ozempic. He will also explain the possible side effects and answer any questions you may have, ensuring you’re fully informed before starting treatment.
Know Your Medical History Before Starting Ozempic
At Lifestyle Med Spa, we take the time to ensure Ozempic is the right treatment for you. We start with an in-depth medical review, including the screening of key conditions like thyroid cancer, heart disease, kidney issues, and low blood sugar, as well as assessing your body mass index (BMI). This comprehensive approach helps us create a personalized weight loss plan tailored to your needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
How Did Lifestyle Med Spa Come to Provide Ozempic Treatments
After personally taking Ozempic and shedding 22 pounds in just four months, Dr. Kim Barrus, our chief of operations, felt more vibrant, confident, and healthier. Motivated by his positive results, he delved deeper into the research behind Ozempic and decided to open the medical spa to provide these benefits to others, along with offering a variety of other medical spa treatments.
Lifestyle Changes to Accelerate Weight Loss
When you start your Ozempic journey with us, we don’t just stop at injections. We review your current diet and exercise habits to discover simple and fun changes that can enhance your weight loss progress. These adjustments are designed to be practical and enjoyable for long-lasting results.
Along with our consultations, we provide the Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan, a tool that offers detailed measurements from over 40 vital data points. This scan ensures we track your body’s progress accurately, promoting healthy weight loss while preserving muscle mass.
