FAQs About Weight Loss Medications Containing the Active Ingredient Semaglutide

Q: What is Semaglutide?

A: Semaglutide is the active ingredient in a new class of weight loss and type II diabetes medication known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose (sugar). GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that reduce appetite and signal a feeling of fullness.

Q: Does JumpstartMD Prescribe Medications Containing the Active Ingredient Semaglutide?

A: JumpstartMD can prescribe personalized medications with the active ingredient semaglutide to eligible and interested members alongside regular check-ins and health coaching to provide support during a weight loss journey.

Q: What if I Can’t Afford Retail Versions of GLP-1 or GLP-1 GIP Medication?

A: No insurance? No problem! At JumpstartMD, we offer multiple injection medications containing the active ingredient semaglutide to match your needs. Call us at 1-855-586-7782 and ask about it.

Q: Do I Have to Take Medication? Are There Other Medication Options Available to Me?

A: You do not have to take weight management medication to be successful at JumpstartMD. With or without medication, our team of health coaches and clinicians will use proven science and compassionate expertise to guide and support you along a journey to improved health and well-being. However, if you are interested in and eligible for medications other than GLP-1s (like those with the active ingredient semaglutide) or GLP-1 GIP’s (like those with the active ingredient tirzepatide), other classes of generic or non-generic weight management medications can also be prescribed either alone or in combination and also as an adjunct to healthy lifestyle changes involving diet, exercise, and more.

Q: Do GLP-1 (such as those Containing the Active Ingredient Semaglutide) and GLP-1 GIP Medications (such as those Containing the Active Ingredient Tirzepatide) Help People Lose Weight All by Themselves, or are Healthy Lifestyle Changes Also Important for Best Results?

A: Superior weight loss outcomes obtained through GLP-1 and GLP-1 GIP medications suggest a new era of medical weight management where those in need can achieve positive results. Still, studies show that medications like GLP-1s and GLP-1 GIPs are more effective when used in combination with healthy lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, and more. This is true not just in terms of achieving initial weight loss outcomes, but also in sustaining lasting results. Likewise, it should also be true in terms of preventing and reversing major diseases, such as type II diabetes, prediabetes, heart attack, strokes, and more.

For best results, think of these potentially life changing medications as a complement to healthy habits that, when combined together, can deliver and sustain truly transformational outcomes.
