Belle Medical is dedicated to empowering clients to love their bodies and live happier, healthier lives by using proven solutions that are guaranteed to work. If you’ve been trying to shed unwanted body fat by spending hours in the gym or going on heavily restrictive diets, yet you’re still not seeing the results you want, semaglutide injections may hold the key to successful weight loss at last.
Semaglutide represents an exciting new breakthrough in weight loss. Committed to helping clients achieve wellness inside and out, Belle Medical has partnered with compounding pharmacies to create a unique blend of semaglutide plus vitamin B12 to increase the drug’s efficacy while reducing common side effects.
“It’s more of a red-carpet experience with us,” Belle Medical president Wendy Edmunds said. “We try to make sure that your experience, your dosage, any help you need and any questions you have are handled. It’s like having your own consultant along your semaglutide journey.”
Semaglutide changes your relationship with food
With semaglutide, the body and brain feel fuller faster, helping prevent overeating. It does this by targeting an area of the brain called the GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite.
Semaglutide’s efficacy as a weight loss tool is further amplified by its ability to improve insulin resistance. By controlling blood sugar spikes and lowering blood sugar, the body’s energy levels remain more consistent. Higher insulin sensitivity also allows for fat to actually be used as fuel rather than stored as unwanted weight gain.
While you don’t necessarily need to diet, semaglutide is most beneficial for clients who also practice healthy eating habits and lifestyle modifications to promote weight loss, including increased physical activity. Make time to exercise every day, whether it’s taking a walk outside on your lunch break or going to the gym before or after work.
Avoiding nausea while taking semaglutide
Nausea is the most common side effect of semaglutide, and most users experience it within the first 24-48 hours after an injection. Belle Medical recommends scheduling your injection day based on the activities and obligations that you have going on throughout the week.

Taking the injection in the evening may help by allowing you to sleep through some of the nausea. Avoid eating high-fat meals and other foods that are difficult to digest, especially in the days surrounding your injection. If needed, Belle Medical can provide a prescription for Zofran or another anti-nausea medication.
“We do encourage a high-protein, low-carb diet, but your body on semaglutide will kind of guide you away from what you shouldn’t be eating,” Edmunds said. “Sometimes bodies are sensitive to sugar, sometimes they’re more sensitive to high-fat foods, and sometimes they’re more sensitive to dairy.”
Try semaglutide and see if it’s right for you
Belle Medical offers semaglutide starting at only $333 per month, and clients aren’t required to have health insurance. Belle Medical also doesn’t charge any startup or membership fees. All it takes is a free, 10-minute phone consultation and medical assessment, and then your prescription will then be sent straight to your door.
Semaglutide doesn’t have to be a long-term commitment, however. Everyone’s bodies, goals and needs are different, so you’re welcome to try it out and see how it works.
“There’s no pressure,” Edmunds said. “Partner with us and give it a try. What do you have to lose besides a few extra pounds?”
Maintain your new healthy habits
Clinical studies have shown that the average person loses 15% of their body weight after 12 months of taking semaglutide. For the typical client, that’s 24-36 pounds.
To guarantee lasting success, Belle Medical recommends that clients keep using semaglutide at least until their leptin levels have a chance to reset. Leptin is a hormone released by the body to help maintain normal weight and regulate the balance between food intake and energy use, and researchers have identified leptin resistance as one of the main biological contributors to obesity.

You can also stay on a small dose of semaglutide to aid in reducing food cravings and controlling overall appetite. If you decide to stop using semaglutide altogether, stick to eating smaller portions and healthier foods to help maintain your results.
More than a typical med spa, Belle Medical partners with clients to achieve wellness both inside and out through affordable, scientifically backed solutions offering lasting results. At the heart of Belle Medical’s mission is the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to feel good about what they see in the mirror.
“Weight loss is so important. It impacts the way you look, it impacts the way you feel, it impacts your health,” Edmunds said. “We’re passionate about making sure that when clients come to us, the solutions we offer them actually work.”
