What is Ozempic and Why is Everyone Talking About it?
Ozempic is a prescription drug, and falls under the class of GLP-1 receptor agonists. It has been extensively researched for its role in promoting weight loss and helping individuals with high blood pressure and excess weight.
How Ozempic Works?
By mimicking the effects of GLP-1, Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar levels effectively. This hormone stimulates insulin production, decreases the secretion of glucagon, and slows the emptying of the stomach. These actions contribute to reduced appetite and cravings, leading to a feeling of fullness and, ultimately, healthy and sustainable 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 a prescription medication approved for treating diabetes and lowering A1C levels while also reducing cardiovascular risks. Although it’s not officially indicated for weight loss, studies have shown it may contribute to weight reduction, allowing it to be prescribed off-label for this purpose.
Wegovy is essentially the same drug, but with different dosage strengths specifically geared for weight loss. The FDA approved Wegovy in 2021 for chronic weight management.

Potential Side Effects from Ozempic
Some common side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and constipation. Typically, these side effects are mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Serious allergic reactions are rare, but they can occur in a small number of patients.
Your initial consultation with Dr. Michael Rankin will involve an in-depth discussion of your medical history, current health conditions, and any concerns about potential side effects. This allows for a customized approach to weight loss and helps ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.
Know Your Medical History Before Starting Ozempic
Your well-being comes first at Lifestyle Med Spa. Before initiating Ozempic treatments, we conduct a detailed medical history review. This includes screening for conditions such as thyroid cancer, heart disease, kidney issues, and low blood sugar, alongside BMI measurements. Understanding your health allows us to determine how Ozempic will work with your body and craft a weight management strategy that promotes lasting success.
How Did Lifestyle Med Spa Come to Provide Ozempic Treatments
Dr. Kim Barrus, who heads our operations, had a transformative experience with Ozempic, losing 22 pounds in four months and gaining a noticeable increase in energy, confidence, and health. His success with the treatment led him to further explore its benefits, which ultimately inspired him to open the medical spa, bringing these advantages to his clients, along with a range of other effective treatments.
Lifestyle Changes to Accelerate Weight Loss
In addition to Ozempic injections, we work with you to review your current diet and exercise habits and identify simple, enjoyable lifestyle changes that can further accelerate your weight loss. These changes are tailored to fit seamlessly into your routine, making them both easy and sustainable.
We also provide an Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan, offering in-depth data from over 40 measurements. This scan delivers a comprehensive analysis of your body mass and other vital indexes, helping us to ensure healthy weight loss and the preservation of lean muscle mass.
