Medical Support. Sustainable Results. A Healthier You.

Struggling with weight loss can be frustrating — especially when diet and exercise aren’t enough. At Dr. Sannia Salim’s practice, we offer medically guided weight loss solutions that are safe, personalized, and backed by science.

If you’re dealing with excess weight, PCOS, insulin resistance, or lifestyle-related metabolic challenges, medical weight loss therapy may help you regain control of your health

Ozempic (Semaglutide)

Once-weekly injection for weight and appetite control

Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes, now widely used to support healthy weight loss. It works by:

  1. Slowing down digestion
  2. Reducing appetite and cravings
  3. Improving blood sugar control

Patients often report feeling fuller with less food, and notice a steady, manageable reduction in weight over time.

Who is it for?

  1. Overweight or obese individuals (BMI ≥ 27)
  2. Patients with insulin resistance or PCOS
  3. Those who have struggled with weight loss through diet/exercise alone

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)

Dual-action injectable for advanced weight loss support

Mounjaro is a newer generation medication that targets two key hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), making it highly effective for both weight loss and metabolic balance. Compared to Ozempic, it may offer more rapid and noticeable weight reduction in some patients.

How it helps:

  1. Suppresses appetite more effectively
  2. Helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels
  3. Promotes consistent fat loss over time

It’s especially beneficial for patients with prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, or PCOS-related weight gain.

Medical Supervision & Personalization

Both medications are prescription-only and must be used under medical supervision. Dr. Sannia will:

  • Assess your overall health, lifestyle, and lab results
  • Prescribe the right medication and dosage
  • Monitor progress, side effects, and nutritional support
  • Help you transition toward a healthy long-term lifestyle

Results, Downtime & Saftey

Results:
Patients may see 5–15% weight loss over 3–6 months with proper adherence and lifestyle changes.

Downtime:
None. These are non-surgical, injectable medications that fit into your daily routine.

Safety:
Common side effects include nausea, bloating, and constipation, especially at the start. These usually reduce over time. Close medical supervision ensures safety and effective dose titration.
