What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication belonging to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (glp-1) receptor agonists that acts on the brain, pancreas and GI system to help with satiety and gastric absorption of food. In the past, Semaglutide was used in patients with type-2 diabetes to improve glycemic control. There have been many clinical studies that show Semaglutide as an effective weight loss solution. Patients can expect:
✓ Decreased appetite
✓ Improved blood sugar control
✓ Increased fat loss
✓ Lower risk of certainhealth conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol
​
While Semaglutide is a reliable long-term weight management solution, we believe it works best as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide works by regulating food intake by reducing feelings of hunger. It does this by mimicking the hormone GLP-1 which regulates hunger. Semaglutide also helps you feel more full and satisfied after a meal by delaying gastric emptying.
​
Semaglutide has been proven to be extremely effective at reducing weight, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. A recent study of almost 2,000 people with a BMI over 30 were administered this treatment along with exercise. The results showed a mean decrease in body weight of 14.9% over 68 weeks, compared to the placebo group which saw only a 2.4% mean decrease in weight.
Most Semaglutide treatments will take place consistently for up to 16 weeks. After this period or time, clients can receive periodic treatment as needed. However, the exact amount of time this medication is administered will depend on your goals and health. Many clients can expect to lose up to 15-20% of their initial weight in less than a year.
​
It's important to note that Semaglutide is not a quick fix for weight loss. it takes time and effort to see results, and it's important to make lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise in order to maximize the benefits of the medication.
