Semaglutide is an injectable medication originally developed to help manage blood sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes. More recently, it has shown great promise as a weight loss tool when prescribed in higher doses.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. It sends signals to the brain to reduce hunger while at the same time slowing digestion to promote feelings of fullness.
Semaglutide has proven very effective for weight loss and weight maintenance when combined with lifestyle changes. Potential benefits include:
The key is that semaglutide helps people feel satisfied with smaller portion sizes and reduces cravings for unhealthy foods. This makes it easier to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan long-term.
Semaglutide is appropriate for those struggling with obesity (BMI over 30) who have weight-related health issues. It may be prescribed if:
Semaglutide is not for those under 18 years old or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Semaglutide is given as a simple injection under the skin once weekly. The injection pen makes the process very straightforward.
When first starting, some people notice mild stomach issues like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These side effects often improve over a month or so. Semaglutide also isn’t recommended for those with certain thyroid or pancreatic conditions.
With continued use, most people achieve steady, consistent weight loss for over a year. Maintenance injections may then preserve results. It’s vital to adopt healthy eating and activity habits alongside this medication.
Imbalances in hormones like GLP-1 can set us up for weight gain and metabolic disorders. That’s why timely diagnosis and treatment are so valuable. Replacing deficient hormones gets to the root cause and enables real, long-lasting solutions.
