Semaglutide, Starting at $250
WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Semaglutide is an injectable medication that mimics a digestive hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is secreted in your intestines after a meal, to facilitate the digestive process. It sends a signal to your brain when you have reached satiety, to help regulate appetite and food intake.
Semaglutide helps to regulate the secretion of insulin and the release of glucagon, both factors that control blood glucose levels. Initial studies of semaglutide were geared to the regulation of Type II diabetes — sometimes called adult-onset diabetes — that is closely linked to obesity. Clinical trials revealed that semaglutide was not only effective for diabetes treatment, but also facilitated weight loss.
Semaglutide weight loss injections are administered once a week, for as long as necessary to help the recipient achieve their weight loss goal. To minimize side effects in the gastrointestinal tract, the dose is gradually increased over the course of 16 to 20 weeks until it reaches 2.4 mg.
Effortless Weight Loss
Wegovy makes losing weight easier. It helps you reach your goals with less stress and effort. Wegovy not only helps with weight loss but also maintains it long-term by changing how you eat and lowering the risk of gaining weight back.
Appetite Supression
Wegovy helps reduce your appetite, making it easier to eat less and avoid overeating. It interacts with your body's natural hunger and fullness signals. It helps reduce cravings and the desire to overeat, making it easier to maintain a caloric deficit for weight loss.
Blood Sugar Control
By slowing down digestion and stabilizing blood sugar levels, Wegovy reduces the energy fluctuations that can lead to hunger and impulsive eating. This helps in managing food intake and promotes weight loss. Semaglutide promotes a feeling of fullness and satiety, which means you're satisfied with smaller portions of food and are less likely to engage in emotional or stress eating.
Slows Digestion
It slows down the digestion process, which means you feel full for longer after eating, reducing the urge to snack or consume large meals. Semaglutide interacts with the brain's appetite centers, promoting feelings of fullness and satiety. As a result, individuals taking Semaglutide tend to consume fewer calories during meals, making it easier to create a calorie deficit for weight loss.
When taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, semaglutide weight loss injections can support healthy long-term weight loss.
