How does taking Semaglutide work in helping you lose weight?2024-05-10T18:35:50-04:00

By mimicking the naturally occurring peptide hormone known as GLP-1, Semaglutide produces weight loss by stimulating insulin release and effectively reducing appetite.

  1. Stimulating insulin release results in better stabilization in blood sugars which is an essential part of weight loss.
  2. Semaglutide not only reduces appetite but increases satisfaction after eating. Even if you do not have a full stomach, the medication acts on the receptors in the stomach and the brain that are responsible for satisfaction after eating.

The Semaglutide Weight Loss Program works best with a low-carb diet. A detailed recommendation of a diet plan will be discussed with you by your provider.

It is administered through an injection (generally in the thigh) and is taken once per week. In order to take semaglutide, you’ll need to plan on weekly trips to your healthcare provider or be comfortable giving yourself injections.

Patients must start semaglutide with a lower dose and gradually increase the dosage over 16-20 weeks in order to reduce the gastrointestinal side effects.
