This week we’re talking about the prescription medication semaglutide. While it originally started as a diabetes type 2 medication, it has recently become popular for it’s use in weight management. We will be discussing how semaglutide is used, dosing, costs with insurance and without, adverse effects, pro’s and con’s, and more. As a nutritionist, I work collaboratively with a variety of medical doctors and therefore see clients come into my office who are taking this medication. It’s important to understand the importance of establishing the necessary dietary and lifestyle modifications while taking this medication to avoid any rebound weight gain once the medication is stopped. So this week I wanted to invite someone who could not only speak to the effects and use of the medication, but her personal experience using it with her own patients.
Our guest this week is Tifany Brown who is a certified family nurse practitioner with over 10 years of nursing experience and 5 of those years she has practiced as a Licensed Advanced Practice Nurse. Over the last couple of years, Tifany has leveraged the advancement of technology and practiced via telemedicine in over 30 states. She has a passion for empowering others to change their lives and expanding her reach with a virtual practice has significantly impacted that passion. She likes to focus on vitamin deficiencies, weight loss and improving overall healthcare literacy to give people the tools needed to make informed decisions about their health.
