Common Questions

We do offer peptides (including semaglutide) without the inclusion of DEXA scans, nutritional guidance, and medical consultation. However, as our primary goal is always to ensure the health of our patients, we recommend consulting with doctors before beginning any changes to your health routine—especially when those changes may result in loss of body composition.

A glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog + FDA approved treatment method for improving glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes and weight loss. It increases insulin secretion, which is good for controlling diabetes. At higher doses, it can act on centers in the brain and help suppress appetite.

A DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) is a state-of-the-art device that measures bone density, as well as bone, fat, and muscle composition. As we age, the risk of developing osteoarthritis increases significantly. The DEXA scan gives you a snapshot of your bone health so that you can incorporate treatments to help you improve—or preserve— your bone health. DEXA Scans also offer precise measures of body fat and muscle ratio and distribution. When starting a medical weight management program with Semaglutide, it is crucial to have a baseline measurement of your body composition to make sure as you are losing weight you are not also losing muscle mass which can become a serious issue.
