SERVICES
Family Medical Center is a long-established, Family Medicine Practice in Seguin that offers medically directed weight loss support and prescribing to help you reach your health goals. Family Medical Center is a clincally oriented and focus on providing accessible, high-quality preventative and therapeutic care. We are not a subscription service provider of perscription medications. As most healthcare insurances do not offer coverage to treat weight related health issues, Family Medical Center offers medical weight loss care for professional fees. We offer effective and appropriate care for your health and wellness goals. Although it's known that obesity causes health risks and contributes to many diseases, insurances often do not cover medical care or prescribing as they describe obesity as an aesthetic issue - not a health issue. We disagree, but can only do what we can do.
semaglutide and other medications
Semaglutide mimics a health-promoting, naturally occurring peptide in the body (GLP-1). Studies have shown it reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings, in addition to improving blood sugar control in many study participants. Semaglutide and similar products have the desired effects for many overweight and obese people who have been studied or treated. However, it is a medicine and can have undesirable side effects that can restrict its utility.  The most common side effects of semaglutide are nausea and other digestive issues. It works best with personalized lifestyle changes and reasonable dietary modifications that we encourage. ​ ​
