Medical weight loss is often more complex than willpower. If progress has stalled or appetite feels difficult to control, a physician-supervised plan may be appropriate.
At The Maxim Clinic, we offer physician-supervised Semaglutide programs for patients in Marietta and Norcross, Georgia. Care begins with clinical evaluation, medication screening, and a plan designed for safe, sustainable progress.
Semaglutide is a prescription medication in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. GLP-1 is a hormone pathway involved in appetite regulation, digestion, and blood sugar signaling. In medical weight loss care, Semaglutide may support appetite control and satiety as part of a broader clinical plan.
Results vary. Medication is most effective when paired with nutrition strategy, activity planning, and consistent follow-up.
Our approach is structured around physician oversight and a plan that respects your health history, medications, and pace.
We review medical history, current medications, and weight-related goals to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate.
Dosing is typically started low and adjusted gradually to support tolerability. We monitor response, side effects, and progress over time.
We pair therapy with practical nutrition guidance and habit design so progress is more likely to be maintainable.
We plan for maintenance and discuss what support can look like as goals evolve. Continuity matters in metabolic care.
Clinical studies in eligible populations have shown meaningful average weight reduction when Semaglutide is combined with lifestyle intervention. Individual outcomes vary based on starting point, adherence, dose tolerance, nutrition, sleep, stress, and medical factors.
We prioritize safe consistency over speed. The goal is measurable progress you can sustain.
Semaglutide is often well tolerated, especially when dosing is increased gradually. Side effects can occur, most commonly early in treatment.
| Common | Less common | Rare but serious (seek medical care) |
|---|---|---|
| Nausea | Fatigue | Severe abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis) |
| Vomiting | Dizziness | Gallbladder-related symptoms |
| Diarrhea | Indigestion | Low blood sugar risk with certain medications |
| Constipation | Bloating | Kidney complications in vulnerable patients |
| Abdominal discomfort | Injection-site irritation | Allergic reactions |
Semaglutide may not be appropriate for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Final eligibility requires clinician review.
Pricing can vary based on protocol design, clinical monitoring, and medication sourcing. For an accurate estimate, we review your goals and clinical needs during your consultation.
Timelines vary. Many patients notice appetite changes first, then gradual weight reduction over weeks to months. We prioritize a safe pace with consistent follow-up.
Medication works best alongside nutrition strategy. We focus on practical adjustments that support satiety and consistency without extremes.
Many people experience a return of appetite over time if medication is stopped. That is why we build sustainable habits and discuss long-term planning during care.
It depends. During consultation, we review current medications and medical history to reduce interaction risk.
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, typically should not use Semaglutide. Final eligibility requires clinician review.
