Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. It works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that helps control blood sugar levels and appetite.
Benefits of semaglutide include improved A1C levels, weight loss, and better blood sugar control with less risk of low blood sugar levels. It can be used alone or together with other diabetes medications.
At Butterfly Hormone Center, we provide customized semaglutide therapy tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. Keep reading to learn more!
Experiencing symptoms like unexplained weight gain, low energy, depressed mood, or loss of libido could indicate an underlying hormone imbalance. Getting the right tests is key for determining what hormones are deficient and developing an appropriate treatment plan.
We offer advanced hormone testing that goes beyond the standard panels to get a comprehensive picture of a patient's hormonal health. Based on the test results, our experienced medical team creates fully individualized plans to help patients regain optimal wellness and vitality.
Early detection and prompt treatment of hormone deficiencies are crucial for supporting long-term health. Don't hesitate to get tested if you're experiencing any troubling symptoms.
Once we've identified a need for semaglutide therapy, our medical team develops customized treatment protocols tailored to each patient. We carefully determine the optimal dosage, injection schedule, and duration of treatment to help patients achieve their health goals whether that's better A1C levels, weight loss, or reduced appetite.
Flexibility is key - we make adjustments along the way based on how patients respond and any changes in needs or goals. We also provide ongoing support and medical supervision because having expert guidance can make all the difference in getting good outcomes.
At Butterfly Hormone Center, customizing care to the individual is our specialty!
Semaglutide is often more effective when combined with additional therapies like metformin or insulin. We have extensive experience using multi-therapy approaches to optimize blood sugar control and metabolic health.
Making positive lifestyle changes can also improve semaglutide therapy outcomes. Our team provides customized nutrition, fitness, and self-care recommendations tailored to each patient's needs and constraints.
We also emphasize the importance of mental healthcare because the path to better physical health often requires working through emotional barriers and adopting new habits. Our mind-body approach addresses health holistically.
Semaglutide is structurally similar to a human hormone called GLP-1 that helps control blood sugar levels. When injected weekly, it mimics the effects of GLP-1 leading to improved A1C levels, weight loss, and cardiovascular benefits for people with type 2 diabetes.
In addition to diabetic and weight management therapies like semaglutide, we also offer Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for treating low testosterone (low T).
The most common TRT form we use is testosterone injections, which involve administering bioidentical testosterone by injection once every 1-2 weeks to restore normal testosterone levels.
Other TRT forms include transdermal gels/creams, subcutaneous pellets, or buccal patches. We determine the optimal TRT protocol based on the patient’s needs and preferences.
Benefits of maintaining normal testosterone through TRT include:
Low testosterone often goes undiagnosed because symptoms such as low energy, trouble sleeping, irritability, and low libido can have many causes.
Getting a comprehensive hormone panel is key for identifying low T. We offer advanced testing that goes beyond total testosterone to also assess free and bioavailable testosterone levels, providing a complete picture.
Based on test results and symptoms, our medical team determines which patients would benefit from TRT to restore testosterone to optimal levels. Acting at the first signs of deficiency is important to avoid complications.
Like with semaglutide therapy, we develop fully customized TRT protocols tailored to each patient’s health status, needs, goals, and preferences.
Critical factors we optimize include:
Our medical team has extensive training in TRT optimization and adjustment to ensure patients achieve treatment goals in a safe, effective way.
While semaglutide injections and TRT provide enormous benefits on their own, making positive lifestyle changes can further enhance therapeutic outcomes:
Eating a balanced, nutrient-dense diet supports metabolic and hormonal health. We provide customized nutrition plans tailored to each patient’s needs, constraints, and health goals.
Regular exercise, strength training, flexibility work, and stress-reducing movement are all beneficial. We suggest activities tailored to patients’ preferences and abilities. Local resources like the Taylor Fitness Center offer excellent options.
Finding healthy stress relief outlets along with professional counseling for any emotional difficulties supports the mind-body connection vital to hormonal health. The Taylor Community Wellness Center’s therapy resources can help.
Getting enough high-quality sleep gives the body time to repair, restore hormones, and regulate appetite. We provide sleep hygiene tips optimized to each patient’s needs.
Our integrative, holistic approach addresses all lifestyle factors critical to health.
What truly sets Butterfly Hormone Center apart is our patient-first approach focused on customizing care to meet each individual’s unique needs and goals.
With our advanced testing capabilities, experienced medical team, and array of cutting-edge therapies, we’re equipped to effectively treat hormone deficiencies of all kinds.
We make treatment convenient by handling insurance claims, working with local compounding pharmacies for medications like semaglutide, and offering flexible injection training options.
Most importantly, we listen and seek to truly understand our patients as whole people - mind, body, and spirit. This informs every aspect of the care plans we design.
Our passion is helping patients reclaim their healthiest, happiest lives - contact us today to start your journey!
