New Year, New You: Is Semaglutide Right for Your 2026 Weight Loss Goals?

As 2026 begins, many of us in Norfolk and the greater Hampton Roads area are setting resolutions to improve our health and well-being. For countless residents, sustainable weight loss is at the top of the list. If you’re considering a fresh approach this year, semaglutide has emerged as one of the most effective, physician-supervised options for weight management. At Guy Trengove Jones MD PC, we’re committed to delivering personalized, safe, and results-driven solutions to help you achieve your goals. Could semaglutide be the breakthrough you need for your New Year transformation?


What Is Semaglutide and How Does It Work?


Semaglutide is an innovative medication originally developed for diabetes management. In recent years, it’s gained attention for its powerful, clinically proven ability to support weight loss. Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar, leading to reduced hunger and easier adherence to healthy eating habits.


Unlike fad diets or unsupervised supplements, semaglutide injections offer a science-backed solution that works hand-in-hand with your lifestyle changes. At Guy Trengove Jones MD PC in Norfolk, your semaglutide weight loss plan is tailored to your individual needs and overseen by caring medical professionals for optimal safety and results.


Is Semaglutide Safe and Effective for Weight Loss?


One of the most common questions patients ask is, “How safe and effective is semaglutide for weight loss?” Here’s what you need to know:


- Clinically Proven: Semaglutide has been extensively studied in large-scale clinical trials, showing significant weight loss results for people with obesity or overweight.

- FDA Approved: The medication is approved for weight management in qualified patients when used alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise.

- Physician Supervised: At our Norfolk office, all injections are administered under experienced medical supervision, minimizing risks and customizing your experience.

- Side Effects: As with any medication, side effects can occur. The most commonly reported include mild nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort, especially during the early stages of treatment, but these usually resolve with time.


Benefits of Semaglutide at Guy Trengove Jones MD PC


We believe that successful weight loss is about more than a number on a scale—it’s about feeling confident, healthy, and empowered in your body. Here’s what makes our approach in Norfolk unique:


- Personalized Plans: Every patient receives a thorough health assessment, ensuring semaglutide is right for you and integrated safely with your other wellness routines.

- Ongoing Support: Our compassionate team provides nutritional guidance, lifestyle coaching, and ongoing monitoring for maximum, long-term results.

- Convenient Scheduling: Flexibility during the busy post-holiday months ensures you can start strong and maintain consistency.

- Affordable Options: With injections priced at $150 each and clear guidance on expected duration, you can confidently budget for your New Year journey.


Who Is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?


Not everyone who wants to lose weight will qualify for semaglutide. Ideal candidates are adults with a BMI of 27 or higher who have at least one weight-related health condition (such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes), or anyone with a BMI of 30 or greater. It’s important to meet with a knowledgeable provider—like Dr. Guy Trengove-Jones—who will evaluate your medical history and help you decide if semaglutide is the safest and most effective route for you.
