Renewal Center is pleased to offer semaglutide compounded therapy to qualified patients in the Bergen County area. As leaders in customized bioidentical hormone therapies, our experienced medical team understands the life-changing benefits of properly balanced hormones. We've seen firsthand how compounded semaglutide helps patients better regulate blood sugar and lose excess weight.
If you struggle to lose weight or manage prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, compounded semaglutide may help. This cutting-edge medication helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. Read on to learn how it works and if you may benefit.
Semaglutide is an injectable drug that mimics the effects of GLP-1, a hormone produced in the gut to stimulate insulin production after meals. It was first approved by the FDA in 2017 under the brand name Ozempic for managing type 2 diabetes.
Since then, semaglutide has also been approved under the brand name Wegovy specifically for chronic weight management. Both brand name drugs are essentially the same medication, but at different doses approved for different purposes.
Some key facts about semaglutide:
Studies show semaglutide is very effective for lowering A1c, reducing appetite and cravings, and promoting weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.
Compounded semaglutide offers similar therapeutic benefits to Ozempic and Wegovy, but with more flexibility in dosing and at a fraction of the cost. Customizing the medication based on each patient's needs can enhance effectiveness and tolerability.
Compounded semaglutide may benefit:
Compounded semaglutide helps address the underlying issues making effective weight loss difficult. It regulates blood sugar spikes, appetite signals, and calorie burning more optimally.
Patients must meet with one of our medical providers to determine if compounded semaglutide is appropriate for their needs. We will review medical history and run baseline blood tests to check A1c, C-peptide, fasting glucose, and other relevant markers.
Contraindications for semaglutide therapy include:
Renewal Center specializes in customizing bioidentical hormones and medications like semaglutide based on each patient’s physiology and health goals.
We start semaglutide therapy with a detailed consultation and assessment of the factors underlying weight gain and metabolic issues. These may include:
After identifying areas of imbalance, we develop a customized treatment plan. This integrative approach typically includes:
The compounded semaglutide is prepared in our specialty pharmacy under strict sterile conditions per USP <797> standards. This ensures the medication’s quality, safety and effectiveness.
Semaglutide is taken once weekly by subcutaneous injection using very small needles. Injections are typically rotated between several sites on the abdomen, thighs or arms.
We advise patients to start at a low dose and slowly increase every 4 weeks based on tolerability and therapeutic response. Our providers closely monitor patients and make dosage adjustments as needed.
The typical dosing protocol for compounded semaglutide is:
Blood sugar and weight loss goals factor into determining the therapeutic dose for each patient. Treatment plans are highly individualized for optimal results.
Semaglutide helps facilitate weight loss through several mechanisms of action in the body:
In essence, semaglutide better regulates the biological systems involved in appetite, nutrient absorption and energy usage. This “metabolic regulation” effect helps the body shed excess fat.
Clinical studies show most patients lose a significant amount of weight over 6-12 months on semaglutide. Average results include:
Along with substantial weight reduction, semaglutide confers many additional health benefits:
By addressing root causes of metabolic dysfunction, semaglutide also leads to considerable reductions in risk for stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other obesity-related diseases.
Semaglutide has an excellent safety profile based on extensive clinical research. The most common side effects are mild, temporary GI issues as the body adjusts. These usually resolve within a month of starting therapy.
Rarely, semaglutide may cause:
Renewal Center teaches patients how to manage temporary side effects and closely monitors for serious adverse reactions. We adjust dosing protocols as needed to maximize tolerability.
What sets Renewal Center apart is our integrative, patient-centered approach focused on the underlying causes of suboptimal metabolic health.
We specialize in precision balancing of hormones and neurotransmitters modulating appetite, weight, mood and more. Compounded semaglutide works synergistically with these targeted interventions for life-changing results.

The Rising Need for Metabolic Regulation Interventions
As rates of prediabetes, obesity and type 2 diabetes keep rising yearly, innovative treatment strategies have become imperative. The standard approaches of monitored diets, exercise programs, and metformin drugs often fall short for many.
Consider these alarming statistics:
With so many struggling to lose weight and reverse metabolic abnormalities, medications like compounded semaglutide fill an important need. They address root physiological causes in newer, safer ways than options like fen-phen or amphetamines.
Prediabetes and obesity stem largely from a cluster of interrelated issues including:
Unless these underlying drivers receive correction, implementing healthy lifestyles rarely suffices. That’s why medications that enhance metabolic regulation often prove so successful.
As experts in the endocrine system and metabolic health, our clinic understands the intricate hormone and neurotransmitter communications regulating weight, appetite and more. We identify and resolve the root physiological forces causing metabolic disorders.
Conventional therapy for diabetes and prediabetes focuses heavily on managing blood sugar fluctuations. But for optimal vitality, reversing these conditions is equally important.
Progress made in functional and anti-aging medicine now allows clinicians to help patients achieve full remission. Restoring normal glycemic control and insulin function remains very feasible IF underlying abnormalities receive correction through advanced interventions.
At Renewal Center we prioritize reversing metabolic disease - not just coping with it. Our cutting edge therapies aim to:
Achieving remission greatly reduces risks of long term complications like blindness, kidney failure, neuropathy, stroke and heart disease. It also translates to feeling healthier, more energetic and more resilient overall.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Philosophy
Harnessing the latest science in endocrine restoration, Renewal Center targets all facets of metabolism for optimal results. We thoroughly assess genetic, lifestyle, hormonal and other contributors to create fully customized treatment regimens.
We dig deeper than standard labwork to uncover the specific biological mechanisms sustaining stubborn weight and blood sugar issues.
Testing may include:
Identifying areas of imbalance or deficiency allows prescribing targeted treatment combinations most likely to induce remission of metabolic disorders.
Once we pinpoint exactly which regulatory systems need support, we design customized prescriptions featuring:
Layering multiple synergistic interventions produces substantially better and longer lasting results than any single-therapy approach.
We also educate patients about optimal nutrition and exercise to retrain the body and mind for long term success. Lifestyle changes couple beautifully with balanced biochemistry from our cutting edge protocols.
What sets Renewal Center apart is our commitment to service excellence and collaborative provider-patient relationships. We operate far differently than traditional medical clinics:
We strive to deliver compassionate support, empower patients with knowledge, extract maximum value from advanced testing, and leave no stone unturned in the metabolic restoration process.
