What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide belongs to a group of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. It helps increase insulin secretion, which is beneficial for people with diabetes. When taken at higher doses, it works on certain areas in the brain and helps to suppress appetite. However, it’s essential to combine this medication with healthy lifestyle intervention.
Those that take Semaguitide find that it is easier for them to adhere to a low-calorie diet, making it easier to achieve their weight loss goals. To tackle obesity effectively, a combination of lifestyle changes and medication is necessary for long-term success.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide therapy works by leveraging the properties of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog, which imitates the function of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1. This hormone is essential in controlling various metabolic processes within the body. By binding to GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide stimulates insulin production and release in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby preventing excessive insulin secretion. Additionally, it suppresses the release of glucagon, a hormone responsible for increasing glucose levels in the blood. Semaglutide contributes to the regulation of appetite and energy intake, as it slows gastric emptying and induces satiety, which can lead to weight loss in individuals undergoing treatment.

How Much Weight Can You Lose On Semaglutide?
According to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, patients who took Semaglutide lost over the 68-week study, an average of almost 15% of their body weight.
Of course, everyone’s different, so it’s hard to say exactly how quickly you’ll see results with Semaglutide. But, many patients have experienced some weight loss within just a few weeks of starting the medication.
