Semaglutide is an effective part of a comprehensive weight loss program that may include exercise and diet changes as determined by our medical director and nutritional coach.
Unlike many other weight loss medications, semaglutide can be used for long-term weight loss management, and
is a approved by the FDA, once-weekly injectable prescription medicine for long-term weight loss. It is designed for adults with obesity and excess weight or have other weight related health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a vital regulator of both weight and blood sugar.
GLP-1 also aids in appetite suppression through the brain, accelerating the release of insulin and delaying stomach emptying to heighten the feeling of fullness. All of this works together to curtail appetite, helping you eat less and resulting in weight loss.
