If you鈥檝e spent any time in the real world lately, chances are you鈥檝e heard of Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or semaglutide.
And chances are鈥ou鈥檝e also heard the controversy.
But if we strip away the internet drama, and focus on the science, here鈥檚 what鈥檚 left:
Semaglutide is a form of a hormone your body already makes - a peptide - specifically a GLP-1. It鈥檚 naturally produced in the gut and helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and inflammation.
When we鈥檙e young, healthy, and hormonally balanced, this peptide works beautifully. But like so many other things, over time - due to age, illness, stress, insulin resistance, or hormone shifts - our bodies stop producing it as efficiently.
That鈥檚 where semaglutide comes in.
It mimics your natural GLP-1, helping your body do what it already knows how to do - but more efficiently.
At AIM Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, this is more than a medication.
鈥淥ur goal isn鈥檛 just weight loss,鈥 shares Dr. Tonya Weber, founder of AIM Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine. 鈥淚t鈥檚 long-term health. It鈥檚 mobility. It鈥檚 quality of life.鈥
The truth is, just a few extra pounds - especially when they linger for years - can quietly set off a chain reaction in the body. That weight adds pressure to your joints, fuels inflammation, and disrupts hormones. Over time, those small changes compound. And that鈥檚 what often leads people to AIM later in life - seeking relief from chronic pain, neuropathy, joint issues, fatigue, and autoimmune flares.
鈥淚f we can help someone shed 10, 20, or even 30 pounds now we鈥檙e not just helping them look different. We鈥檙e helping them age differently. Move differently. Live differently. This is about prevention. About investing in the future version of yourself.鈥
Every patient at AIM begins with a $119 comprehensive consult that includes:
