For many people, achieving the body they want can be a lifelong struggle. They try meal plans, exercise regimens and all kinds of “miracle” products, but the results often fall short of expectations. That’s where Belle Medical comes in.
“Weight loss is different for everyone. Some people try everything and stay at the same weight forever,” Belle Medical brand manager Ariana Jensen said. “With semaglutide, you’re just not as hungry. Being able to see that you’re actually losing weight is such a win.”
Belle Medical offers semaglutide via weekly self-injection at home. Semaglutide helps people of virtually every age, size and lifestyle lose weight by improving insulin resistance to accelerate fat usage, rather than storage. It also helps reduce appetite. Weight loss is guaranteed for 99% of patients, Jensen said.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
Not with Belle Medical. All it takes to get started is a quick phone consultation, where you’ll meet with a physician to obtain your semaglutide prescription.
Belle Medical offers semaglutide for only $333 per month, and clients aren’t required to have insurance. The clinic also doesn’t charge any startup or membership fees.
What’s the most common side effect?
The main side effect people experience while taking semaglutide is nausea. To help prevent this, avoid eating high-fat foods, especially on the days surrounding your injection.
Many patients choose to take their injections in the evening so they can sleep through some of the nausea. Anti-nausea medications like Zofran may also be helpful, and Belle Medical can provide a prescription if needed.
How can I avoid muscle loss?

Research into semaglutide’s impact on weight loss suggests that a focus on dietary protein may help prevent muscle loss in patients taking the drug. Make sure you’re getting enough protein in your diet and that you’re incorporating strength training into your fitness routine.
Semaglutide is designed to be used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications, including increased physical activity. Resistance exercises are crucial for maintaining and building muscle mass during weight loss treatments.
What should I eat?
Semaglutide is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Set aside time to be active every day, whether it’s taking a walk outside or going to the gym.
Because semaglutide helps you feel fuller faster, choosing smaller portions at mealtime is key to long-term success. Make sure you don’t overeat! Follow a balanced diet that’s low in calories and high in nutrients and lean proteins to maximize your weight loss benefits, and don’t forget to drink plenty of water.
“If you’re curious about semaglutide, just try it. We’re here for you every step of the way,” Jensen said. “You have nothing to lose – except weight!”
