Semaglutide
Losing weight -- whether for health or personal reasons -- is not always as easy as dieting and exercising.
Many will strictly follow their plans and still not lose weight or not see a noticeable difference. This can be disheartening which may worsen or cause plateaus and setbacks. No weight loss journey is completely perfect. However, the new FDA-approved medication for weight loss, semaglutide, gives patients an option that helps naturally induce weight loss. Thus, reducing and minimizing the plateaus and setbacks.
Black Mountain Wellness is proud to offer the best programs to patients as part of their non-surgical weight loss journey.


Semaglutide is a type of medication known as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It mimics the hormone of the same name which helps regulate the metabolism, hunger cues, and digestion. This naturally helps patients want to eat less and feel fuller longer. The addition of Vitamin B12 may help you burn more fat. Vitamin B12 has routinely been included in weight loss medications and supplements. Beyond this, Vitamin B12 can also help ease the possible side effects of Semaglutide injections. While patients often see side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and an upset stomach improve and go away after about two to three doses, Vitamin B12 can help counteract these side effects. Therefore, Semaglutide with B12 is generally better tolerated than Semaglutide without Vitamin B12.
​
Our weight loss program also includes advice on changing your habits, primarily diet and exercise. Patients are encouraged to follow a healthier diet as this will also help prevent side effects from the semaglutide. This plan effectively sets the patient on a path to build better habits while actively losing weight.

Exercise is important because it helps improve the metabolism. By building muscle, the body requires more energy to function. Thus, the metabolism speeds up and patients see better results. The toned body is a positive effect!
