Weight management
Hello,
I wish to talk to an open minded doc about weight management drugs. I am struggling with mental health (also struggled with obesity since teens) already and yes aware of diet and exercise all that but I would like to be practical and take a call on possibly using drugs like Semaglutide for help in the process.
Thanks

Hello, I'm Dr. Nikhil Aggarwal. I'm glad you reached out to me to discuss your concerns about weight management drugs. I understand that you have been struggling with obesity since your teens and are also dealing with mental health issues. It's important to take a holistic approach to weight management, and I'm here to help you explore all your options.
Semaglutide is a medication that has been approved by the FDA for weight management in adults with obesity. It works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. Studies have shown that Semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss when used in combination with diet and exercise.
However, it's important to note that Semaglutide is not a magic pill and should not be used as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It's important to continue to focus on a balanced diet and regular exercise while taking this medication. Additionally, Semaglutide is not suitable for everyone and may have side effects, so it's important to discuss your medical history and any current medications with your doctor before starting this medication.
As a doctor, my goal is to help you achieve your health goals in a safe and effective manner. I would be happy to discuss your options further and help you make an informed decision about whether Semaglutide is right for you. Additionally, I would like to explore any underlying mental health issues that may be contributing to your struggles with weight management. Together, we can develop a personalized plan that addresses all your concerns and helps you achieve your health goals.
