Effective Weight Loss with Semaglutide at JumpstartMD®
Weight loss medications with the active ingredient semaglutide — also known as GLP-1s — have become a weight loss game-changer. GLP-1s differ from older classes of weight loss medications (like those containing the active ingredient phentermine) because they work on key underlying metabolic pathways to support substantive and sustained weight loss, not a short-term fix. They work on the same receptors as naturally-occurring GLP-1 hormones that exist in your body.
JumpstartMD clinicians prescribe GLP-1 medications in combination with healthy lifestyle changes to help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight. Losing weight and keeping it off isn’t easy, but with our support, you can succeed!
You Got This.
While making healthy lifestyle changes is important, weight loss medications like those with the active ingredient semaglutide can give you an extra boost, helping you reach and keep a healthier weight. Taking medication isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a proven way to improve your health and avoid serious diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions about Discover the Power of Semaglutide Weight Loss Medications
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in a new class of medication known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists to manage weight loss and type II diabetes.† Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose (sugar). GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that reduce appetite and signal a feeling of fullness.
Does JumpstartMD prescribe medications containing the active ingredient semaglutide?
JumpstartMD can prescribe personalized weight loss medications with the active ingredient Semaglutide to eligible and interested members. Along with these medications, we offer regular check-ins and health coaching to support you throughout your weight loss journey.
How frequent are the doses?
Medication with the active ingredient semaglutide is typically self-administered by subcutaneous injection once a week, depending on your specific medication plan.
Do insurance plans cover semaglutide (Wegovy® and Ozempic®)?
Coverage varies. Some private insurance plans cover Wegovy® and Ozempic® for weight loss, while Medicare and Medicaid often do not.
As part of your JumpstartMD membership, we assist you with the prior authorization process to help you access insurance-covered medication whenever possible. We’re your advocate every step of the way.
What if I can’t afford retail versions of GLP-1 medication?
Fear not if you don’t have insurance coverage for Wegovy® or Ozempic®. Our clinicians are experts in medical weight management and have a variety of pharmacologic (medication) tools in their toolbox that can also help you to achieve and sustain your health and wellness goals. Call us at 408.478.3496 and ask about it.
Can I stop semaglutide after losing weight?
You can—but studies show that most people regain weight after stopping. JumpstartMD partners with you on long-term weight maintenance, whether that includes continuing medication or transitioning off safely.
Do I have to take medication? Are there other medication options available to me?
You do not have to take weight management medication to succeed with JumpstartMD. Whether you choose to take medication or not, our team of health coaches and clinicians will use proven science and caring support to help you on your journey to better health. However, if you are interested in and eligible for medications other than GLP-1s (like those with the active ingredient semaglutide), we can prescribe other types of weight management medications, either alone or combined with healthy lifestyle changes including diet and exercise.
Do GLP-1 medications help people lose weight by themselves?
Studies have shown that GLP-1 medications can lead to better weight loss results, marking a new phase in medical weight management where more people can find success. However, these medications work best when combined with healthy lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. This not only helps achieve weight loss but also maintains the results over time. Plus, it can help prevent and even reverse serious health issues like type II diabetes , prediabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and more.
For the best results, consider these GLP-1 medications as a complement to healthy eating and exercise habits. Together, they can provide lasting weight loss results.
What if I have questions?
If you have questions after your visit with a JumpstartMD medical weight loss clinician, your medical team will discuss the details of your medication.
