SEMAGLUTIDE WITH L-Carnitine WEIGHT LOSS
PROGRAM, SEATTLE & TACOMA

What Is Semaglutide with L-Carnitine?

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. GLP-1 medications mimic the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1, which helps regulate appetite, hunger, and gastric emptying. By slowing digestion and influencing the brain’s appetite centers, semaglutide helps patients feel full earlier and stay full longer, leading to reduced food intake and meaningful weight loss.

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring nutrient found in foods like red meat, poultry, and dairy, and is also produced in the body. Its primary role is to transport stored fat into the mitochondria — the “power plants” of your cells — where it can be burned for energy. Supplementing with L-Carnitine can:

• Enhance fat metabolism
  
• Improve energy levels
  
• Support exercise endurance
  

When combined with semaglutide, L-Carnitine boosts fat-burning and energy levels, helping patients stay active and consistent in their weight loss journey. Compounded semaglutide with L-Carnitine is an excellent choice for patients seeking appetite control with added metabolic support, or for those who may not tolerate brand-name versions.

Compound Semaglutide Dosing Plan

How Semaglutide with L-Carnitine Works for Weight Loss

Semaglutide helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and promote healthier eating patterns. When combined with L-Carnitine, a nutrient that transports stored fat into cells to be burned for energy, patients gain both appetite control and enhanced metabolic support. This dual approach makes it easier to lose weight steadily, avoid plateaus, and maintain motivation throughout the process.

Benefits of Compounded Semaglutide with L-Carnitine

Patients may experience:

• Reduced appetite and cravings
  
• Feeling fuller for longer
  
• Slower gastric emptying for better portion control
  
• Improved fat metabolism and energy from L-Carnitine
  
• Better exercise endurance and weight-loss results
  
• Lower blood sugar and support for type 2 diabetes management
  
• Reduced risk of heart disease and weight-related conditions
  
• A safe, long-term weight loss solution
  
• Support for patients with difficult-to-treat conditions like PCOS
  
• Ongoing monitoring from Seattle Plastic Surgery providers (in-person or virtual) 

Possible Side Effects

Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, and most side effects improve within the first two weeks. The addition of L-Carnitine may help boost energy and make treatment more comfortable. Potential side effects include:

• Nausea or mild stomach upset
  
• Fatigue
  
• Headache
  
• Gas or changes in bowel movements
  
• Low blood sugar (rare)
  

If side effects are prolonged or difficult to tolerate, providers may recommend alternatives such as tirzepatide, which can have a different side effect profile.

The Semaglutide Weight Loss Program: Start to Finish

Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation — either in-person at our Seattle clinic or virtually. During this appointment, your Seattle Plastic Surgery provider will:

• Review your medical history, current medications, and past weight loss experiences
  
• Discuss your lifestyle and target weight goals
  
• Explain how semaglutide works, including the benefits, risks, and possible side effects
  
• Outline a personalized dosage plan and provide a custom diet and exercise program designed to maximize results 

Administering Semaglutide

Patients prescribed injections will complete a short training session with a provider to learn proper self-administration. Semaglutide is typically injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm using a pre-filled pen or syringe.

For patients who prefer not to inject, semaglutide is also available in tablet form.

At Seattle Plastic Surgery, we also prescribe a compounded version of semaglutide with L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine helps convert stored fat into energy, boosting metabolism, improving endurance, and helping patients feel more energized during their weight loss journey.

Meal & Exercise Plan

Each semaglutide program includes a tailored meal and exercise plan at no extra cost. This plan emphasizes small, sustainable lifestyle changes that fit naturally into your routine. At your monthly check-ins, your provider will:

• Monitor your weight loss progress
  
• Adjust your dosage if needed
  
• Refine your diet and exercise recommendations to support long-term success
  

Semaglutide isn’t just a medication — at Seattle Plastic Surgery, we use it as a tool to help patients build healthy habits and maintain results.

Results

Some patients begin to notice changes within the first 8–12 weeks, with steady, measurable weight loss continuing over the following months. Clinical studies show that semaglutide can help patients lose up to 15–20% of their body weight in 6–12 months when paired with healthy lifestyle changes.

With the added support of L-Carnitine, many patients experience:

• More consistent energy throughout the day
  
• Better workout endurance and fat metabolism
  
• Fewer weight-loss plateaus
  

Results vary for each patient, but with regular check-ins, personalized adjustments, and long-term support, semaglutide with L-Carnitine can help patients not only lose weight but also sustain their progress for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Compounding Pharmacy & Is It Safe to Get Semaglutide From Them?

A compounding pharmacy creates custom-made versions of medications. This may be done to remove an ingredient a patient is allergic to, or to add supportive ingredients that improve tolerance and results. In the case of semaglutide, our compounded formulation includes L-Carnitine, a nutrient that helps convert stored fat into energy, boosts metabolism, and supports exercise endurance.

Compounding pharmacies are widely used, highly regulated, and considered safe, provided they are licensed and meet strict quality standards.

What Should I Avoid While Taking Semaglutide?

Patients should be mindful of a few things while on semaglutide:

• Alcohol: Drinking can increase the risk of dangerously low blood sugar, especially for patients with diabetes. Avoid or limit alcohol use while on semaglutide. 
• Other GLP-1 medications: Do not combine semaglutide with other drugs in the same class. 
• Unhealthy foods: Sugary, fried, overly processed, and refined-carb-heavy foods may reduce results and increase side effects. 
• Undisclosed supplements or medications: Always tell your provider about anything new you are taking. 

Patients should also learn the signs of low blood sugar (dizziness, sweating, confusion, shakiness) and what to do if symptoms occur.
