Personalized, In-Person Weight Loss Treatment

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Henderson, we offer in-person medical consultations for Wegovy®, a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to help support lasting weight loss. Our experienced healthcare providers work one-on-one with patients to build individualized treatment strategies aimed at improving overall well-being while encouraging steady weight loss progress.

Potential to Lose 15% or More of Your Weight

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a prescription-only medication approved by the FDA for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, or in those who are overweight and have weight-related medical concerns. It works by engaging GLP-1 hormone pathways in the brain, which can help decrease hunger and reduce calorie intake.

Clinical studies suggest that, when used in combination with healthy lifestyle changes, Wegovy may support weight loss of up to 15% or more of body weight.* At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Henderson, we prescribe Wegovy through direct, in-person evaluations, adjusting treatment to your personal needs and goals.

How Wegovy May Support Weight Loss

Wegovy mimics a hormone naturally produced in the body known as GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood glucose levels. It influences regions in the brain tied to hunger cues, helping many people feel full with less food and maintain satiety longer.

By slowing stomach emptying and improving insulin function, Wegovy may make it easier for individuals to stay in a caloric deficit without constant hunger. These combined effects support gradual and sustained weight loss over time. At our Henderson clinic, Wegovy is incorporated into a fully customized program created with your long-term health in mind.

What to Expect During Your Wegovy Program in Henderson

Your visit begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our licensed medical professionals at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine. We’ll take the time to understand your health background, weight history, and personal goals to see if Wegovy is a good option for you.

If prescribed, treatment begins with a low starting dose to reduce the chance of side effects. Over the following weeks, your dose will gradually increase to your target amount. Wegovy is self-injected once weekly using a prefilled pen. The injection is placed just under the skin, typically in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. We’ll teach you how to use it during your appointment—most patients find it quick and simple.

Wegovy Insurance Support

Your health insurance may cover part or all of your Wegovy prescription, depending on your policy. During your consultation at our Henderson office, we’ll explore your insurance benefits and assist with the necessary documentation. Our team has experience working with providers to help patients navigate coverage options and minimize out-of-pocket costs whenever possible.

Wegovy FAQs

How long should I stay on Wegovy?

Wegovy is designed for ongoing use as part of a weight management plan. Patients may continue treatment as long as they are seeing benefits, with regular check-ins to reassess progress and adjust as needed.

Are the side effects long-term?

Most people find that side effects—such as mild nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort—diminish as the body adjusts to the medication. Titrating the dose slowly may help reduce these issues.

What’s the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic®?

Both medications contain semaglutide, but Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for weight management, whereas Ozempic is approved for blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. The two differ in dosage and intended use.

What if I skip a dose?

If your next scheduled dose is more than 48 hours away, you can take the missed dose as soon as possible. If it’s within 48 hours, skip the missed dose and resume on your regular day. We’ll explain how to handle this during your appointment.
