Semaglutide is a novel weight loss drug with recent extensive clinical studies to prove it’s safety and efficacy. Specifically, it is an injectable medication that increases satiety and reduces food intake. As a result, patients feel full for longer and eat less. It is not a quick fix, though. It is still up to you to make smart food choices and get moving every day.

Semaglutide, works by mimicking the effects of insulin. This increases satiety and reduces appetite. Semaglutide is a peptide that functions as a GLP-1 receptor agonist and acts on ghrelin receptors in the brain. Ghrelin is the hormone responsible for making us feel hungry when other hormones like leptin are not blocking it. Since Semaglutide blocks ghrelin, you feel less hungry throughout the day. Further, a typical meal takes 60-90 minutes to pass through the stomach. With Semaglutide, a meal can remain in the stomach for up to 7 hours with ongoing gastric stretch and sensation of fullness.

Semaglutide injections are an effective new treatment option for people looking to lose or maintain a healthy weight without extreme dieting or exercise. It is a once-a-week injection that easily fits into a busy schedule. The benefits are two-fold: reduce hunger cravings and lose weight faster when combined with a low-calorie diet. Keep in mind that you must put in the work to reap optimal results from Semaglutide. Try exercising for 30 minutes every day and eating nutrient-rich foods. Empty calories make it harder to achieve your desired weight goal.

Most people use Semaglutide injections from 2 months up to a year, depending on how much weight they need to lose. We can tailor your program to match your weight loss goals.

Weight loss with Semaglutide is a long-term solution. It takes hard work, discipline, and patience to lose weight -and Semaglutide is no exception. Do not expect the weight to melt away magically. Instead, think about how much you want it gone and what lifestyle changes you need to implement to make it happen. Semaglutide is just one tool that can help you on your journey toward a healthier mind and body. You can see phenomenal results if you are willing to put in the effort. But as with any medical treatment, results vary per person. On average, our patients experience losing 15% of their body weight. Some patients with persistent choices of healthier foods, ongoing appetite suppression, and regular physical activity have gone on to lose much more.

Tirzepatide is different because it stimulates two satiety hormone receptors instead of one. Tirzepatide appears to result in even more weight loss than Semaglutide. Some patients respond better to one than the other and it can be patient specific.
