Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. It works by signaling fullness to the brain, slowing digestion, and reducing cravings, making it an effective option for sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy habits.
Semaglutide has been widely studied and is FDA-approved for metabolic and weight-related conditions. When prescribed appropriately and monitored by a licensed provider, it is considered safe for most patients. As with any medication, side effects can occur, which is why medical oversight is essential.
All Maves treatments are prescribed by licensed clinicians, tailored to your goals, and supported with ongoing medical guidance. All treatments undergo 3rd party testing for purity and potency to ensure quality and safety.
The science behind Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist known to reduce appetite and support blood sugar regulation. To complement your needs, your treatment may also include Vitamin B12 to support energy, or L-Carnitine to assist fat metabolism and help preserve lean muscle mass.
Each formulation is personalized to align with your goals, physiology, and journey—providing more than weight-loss support. This is not one-size-fits-all—it’s your treatment, made for you.Your journey is personal. Your medication should be too.
You don’t need to be on Semaglutide forever. We typically use it in phases to cut fat:
- Induction (appetite control & titration): establish tolerance and dosing.
- Active fat-loss phase: continue while you’re making steady progress.
- Consolidation & taper: gradually step down and transition to maintenance.
After a successful cut, your clinician may pause Semaglutide and shift you to a maintenance plan or recommend a performance/recovery block (e.g., Sermorelin and training focus).
Over time, many patients do periodic cycles—short, clinician-guided “on” phases for fat loss, and “off” phases emphasizing recovery, lean-mass support, and sustainable habits. Your plan is individualized and adjusted based on progress, side effects, and goals.
Our protocols are designed to preserve lean mass while you lose fat. Semaglutide reduces calorie intake; without a plan, some people can lose muscle along with fat. We recommend countering that with:
- Resistance training: 2–4 days/week
- Protein-forward nutrition
- Gradual titration to avoid overly aggressive deficits
- Recovery support (sleep and stress)
- Our Sermorelin Performance Protocol
Many patients maintain their muscle during a cut when these steps are followed.
Most side effects are mild and transient as your body adapts. They often resolve spontaneously.
Side effects may include:
- Nausea (most common)
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain/indigestion
- Decreased appetite
How Maves manages this:
- We start low and titrate your dose for comfort and results
- You can message your clinician anytime for quick adjustments (no appointment needed)
- If needed, our doctors can prescribe ondansetron (Zofran) for nausea
Most symptoms fade over time. If side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, reach out to a healthcare professional for guidance.

Suitability varies based on your individual health profile, and a licensed provider will help determine which options may be appropriate for you.
