Are you one of the millions of people searching online to find out if Semaglutide is truly the miracle weight loss medication some say it is? Many people are talking about Semaglutide as the scientific breakthrough we’ve all been hoping for. Others have spoken disparagingly about it. Why is there such a big difference in opinion? And why do we recommend it to our clients?
In reality, the difference often comes down to the advice given by medical caregivers to people taking Semaglutide. When taken correctly, Semaglutide does an excellent job of helping most people lose weight without hunger pangs or discomfort. In this sense, many see it as a miracle drug. On the other hand, some have had a less positive experience. What’s the difference?
We advise all our clients to start with a very small dose of Semaglutide. This small dose curbs appetite and, importantly, gives the body a chance to adjust to the medication. Semaglutide not only reduces hunger but also slows the digestive process, so you feel fuller after eating less food and experience fewer cravings. By starting slowly and gradually increasing the dose over time, you can enjoy the benefits—reduced hunger and greater satisfaction with smaller portions—which promotes weight loss. However, increasing the dosage too quickly can lead to unpleasant side effects. Many who were dissatisfied with Semaglutide may have increased their doses too rapidly.
At Nuviva we believe nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices are essential to safe, long-term weight loss. We will walk you through our multi-phased nutrition plans in conjunction with Semaglutide to help you achieve maximum results that will last. Through dietary guidance, we also advise our clients to eat small, frequent meals and to avoid large portions. This is because Semaglutide slows digestion, and overeating can lead to an unpleasant sensation. Starting Semaglutide without proper guidance on its optimal use can result in stomach pain, nausea, constipation, or other common side effects. Without the right direction and information, you may develop a negative opinion of the medication. Understanding how to take Semaglutide correctly is an essential part of the process.
Our staff will also offer simple suggestions to make this process easier. Taking B12 shots can increase energy, helping you burn more calories. We also recommend reducing your intake of salt and sugar as both can significantly increase hunger levels. Additionally, you’ll likely lose more weight by gradually building up your dosage. Your body adjusts to Semaglutide and similar medications, like Tirzepatide, over time, and they may become less effective if doses are increased too quickly. Rushing the dosage changes can lead to side effects and may ultimately result in less weight loss.
Of course, there’s too much information to cover here, but we hope this gives you a sense of why it’s important to find a medical support team that takes the time to advise you properly, supports your weight loss journey, and genuinely cares about your well-being and happiness. At Nuviva, we believe in the process as much as in the medications, which is why we offer a completely free consultation so you can learn more about what makes Nuviva different.

I struggled for years to lose weight
I failed over and over again,
Then I met the nice people at Nuviva and they helped me change my life. I’ve lost 40 lbs in four months. I feel and look…
I’ve lost 44 pounds and feel like a new woman.
People look at me differently now but the important thing is I feel different. Happier. More alive. Full of life. There are simply no words to describe how…
I wanted someone to help me navigate how to gain and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have been through other nutritional counseling before. I found the Nuviva program to be much more realistic.
I travel a lot, both domestically and internationally. I found that the food choices I was guided towards were easier for me to maintain while I am on the road, living out of hotels and traveling.
One of the other reasons I was interested in Nuviva was that I noticed not only do they work wth people that are trying to lose weight or have weight related medical issues, but they also work with people who are physically active. I do a lot of long distance running and participate in several marathons a year. Maintaining the right level of nutrition during the training and the marathons is key. Nuviva helped me increase my performance through their nutritional guidance.
One of the benefits I wasn’t expecting was that through proper nutrition I was able to get off the statins I was taking for cholesterol, at my doctor’s recommendation. He’s quite pleased with my blood work and quite excited to keep me on the program.
I lost 100 lbs.
I had a lot of medical issues and all of these issues were traced back to me being so overweight. I was in my early twenties and decided it was time for change.
I am a teacher and I work with small kids. I found myself tired all the time and not able to keep up with the kids. I can do my job in a way I never thought I could before.
The team at Nuviva was so supportive. I loved the accountability. I loved the support. I loved being able to set a goal for myself and just take it week by week. We’d aim for three to four pounds a week and I didn’t feel the pressure of trying to lose 100 pounds all at once. Without the support from the Nuviva team, I don’t think I would have been able to do it.
Nuviva is different from other programs. It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle change and what I have learned here will always be a part of my life. Nuviva isn’t a strict diet with limited food options. I was taught how to count calories, how to make sure I have the right amounts of healthy fats, protein and fiber in my diet. I will use these tools for the rest of my life.
I would recommend Nuviva to anyone who wants to lose weight; whether its 10 pounds or 100 pounds. This is also coming from someone who when I first walked into the clinic, I told Dana I was going to lose 20 pounds and this wasn’t going to work. 100 pounds later, here I am. Because this is a program that really works.
I am 44 but was starting to feel like I was in my sixties. No energy. Unhealthy. Exhausted all the time.
Thanks to Nuviva I dropped a lot of weight, improved my health and now feel much healthier, more confident and most of all younger…
