New Year, New Confidence: Is Semaglutide Right for Your 2026 Goals?

Weight loss may be at the top of your goals list for 2026, but times when you’ve struggled to lose weight in the past or gained the weight back could hamper your motivation. If you haven’t been able to reach your goals with diet and exercise alone, semaglutide injections might offer the extra boost you need.

At Pure Bliss Medspa in Sandy Springs, Georgia, experienced injector Asha Hill, NP, strives to help you look and feel your best going into the new year. She understands there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to weight loss, and knows the value of extra support. 

Could semaglutide be the best next step in your weight management journey? In this article, we’ll talk about how it works for weight loss and when to consider using it. 

How semaglutide supports weight loss

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics a specific hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone is responsible for helping you feel full after a meal or snack, so you don’t have the urge to keep eating.

As you might imagine, more of this hormone can help you eat less. This is a big deal for anyone who has struggled to lose weight in the past because of cravings and overeating, which can be major barriers to people following even the most evidence-based weight loss programs.

Some people also use semaglutide and similar drugs to manage diabetes because they lower blood sugar. For women, stabler blood sugar means better heart health and a lower risk of diabetes if you don’t already have it.

When to consider semaglutide

Semaglutide might sound enticing to anyone who wants to lose a few pounds, but it isn’t the healthiest or most effective route to weight loss for everyone. Asha welcomes you to Pure Bliss Medspa for an initial consultation so you can discuss your exact goals and overall health. 

Semaglutide might be an option if you:

• Have tried losing weight in the past, but didn’t get the results you wanted
• Regained weight after losing it at first
• Have a body mass index (BMI) of 27, along with weight-related health conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Have a BMI of over 30 with or without weight-related health conditions
• Have fair overall health
• Are willing to commit to healthy lifestyle changes

Your first visit involves a physical exam and a review of your medical history to make sure your health won’t compromise semaglutide treatment. 

Getting the best possible results 

Semaglutide isn’t a fix-all miracle drug. You’ll still need to make some healthy lifestyle changes while taking it to stay on track with your weight loss. You’ll also need to continue managing any conditions related to your weight, such as Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

For most people, these changes are as simple as following a healthy eating plan and making sure you exercise regularly. You can exercise at a level that’s comfortable for you. Don’t worry about overworking yourself.

Asha checks in with you at regular follow-up visits to make sure you’re tolerating semaglutide treatment well. She can answer all of your questions before, during, and after treatment.
