What is semaglutide and how does it help with weight loss?
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone regulates your appetite, satiety and blood sugar levels, among other things.
Achieve lasting weight loss with medically supervised injections
Are you looking for a safe and effective way to lose weight permanently? Weight loss can sometimes be a complex and long journey where diets and exercise do not always produce the desired results. Injections with semaglutide, the active ingredient in medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy, offer an innovative, medically sound option to support weight loss. Our personalized approach in Eindhoven focuses on your health and needs, so you can start with confidence.

Side effects of semaglutide
Side effects may occur during the first few weeks of treatment as your body must get used to the action of semaglutide. The most common complaints are:
- Nausea
- Feeling full or bloated
- Mild gastrointestinal complaints
- Reduced appetite
These side effects are usually mild and temporary. Thanks to gradual dose accumulation, symptoms often diminish on their own within a few days to weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ozempic contains the active ingredient semaglutide, a drug that acts like the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone plays an important role in reducing your appetite and creating the feeling of satiety faster. Because of these effects, you automatically eat less, leading to gradual and safe weight loss.
Ozempic may be used as long as it is safe, effective and medically justified. An average treatment regimen lasts 6 to 12 months. Some clients use Ozempic longer, depending on their personal goals and results achieved. During periodic checkups, the doctor always assesses whether it is responsible to continue.
Many people notice within 2 to 4 weeks that their appetite decreases and they have fewer cravings for snacks. The first visible weight loss usually follows within 4 to 9 weeks. Optimal results develop over a period of 3 to 12 months, depending on lifestyle, dosage and goals.
When you stop taking Ozempic completely, your natural appetite usually increases, causing you to experience hunger again more quickly. If lifestyle patterns are not maintained, there is also a chance of weight gain. Therefore, once you approach your target weight, it is important to follow a phase-out and maintenance plan. We guide you in this phase with nutritional advice, lifestyle guidance and support in maintaining routines so that you maintain your results safely and sustainably.
Book
'This is how you stay strong and balanced during and after GLP-1 treatment'
Together with dietitian Netty van Kaathoven, Dr. Ester de Vries wrote the book “How to Stay Strong and Balanced During and After GLP-1.” This new book focuses on a timely topic: how do you stay strong, healthy, and balanced both during and after using GLP-1 medication?
The book covers topics such as muscle preservation, adequate protein and fiber intake, metabolic health, exercise, reducing hunger and cravings, and developing a eating pattern that is sustainable in the long term.
Dr. Esther de Vries was invited to provide medical insight based on her experience as a physician in GLP-1 treatment programs: how GLP-1 works, why obesity isn’t simply a matter of willpower, the importance of proper dosing, possible side effects, metabolic health, hormonal recovery, and why guidance is so important.
A valuable book that’s not just about weight loss, but above all about health, balance, and lasting change.
Netty has already written several books on mindful eating, nutritional psychology, and restoring a healthy, relaxed relationship with food. Her work aligns well with something we often see in our practice: sustainable weight loss isn’t just about eating less, but above all about becoming more aware and better understanding what your body needs.
You’ll receive the book for free when you start your GLP-1 treatment at DokterEs. The book is also available for purchase for €25 at our clinic.
