Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog. GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar.

Semaglutide can reduce appetite, improve control of eating, and reduce food cravings in addition to improving glycemic control. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) incretin hormone that helps the pancreas release insulin, which in turn helps the body control blood sugar levels.

Most patients notice benefits within the first couple of weeks. Some will need a little more time before seeing significant results. It’s important to use this therapy as one tool in the toolbox while working to upgrade diet and lifestyle habits.

Due to the beneficial lifestyle changes Semeaglutide promotes, it is possible to stay at a consistent weight when you get off of the medication. However, if you go back to poor eating and lifestyle habits, it is likely that weight gain will occur.

To experience the best results possible we recommend incorporating healthier eating habits and moving your body. Prioritizing protein, healthy fats and fiber as well as reducing the amount of processed foods is highly recommended.
