Overview
Before its introduction as a highly effective long-term weight management solution, semaglutide (Ozempic) was used to treat type 2 diabetes. Physicians observed that while Ozempic increased insulin production and reduced blood sugar levels, it also produced significant weight loss results. The makers of Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, conducted numerous clinical studies before offering their breakthrough weight loss medication called Wegovy, now FDA-approved for weight management.
Semaglutide is ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or adults with a BMI of 27 and at least one complication related to body weight, such as hypertension, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease.
How it works:
Semaglutide is a type of medication called a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, which mimics the hormone GLP-1 that the body naturally produces. The breakthrough weight loss solution lowers blood sugar levels after meals. It regulates blood sugar by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion.
Semaglutide slows down the release of sugar into your blood, so your body burns more fat. It also delays stomach emptying, leaving you feeling fuller longer and limiting your overall calorie consumption.
Several clinical studies show that weekly Semaglutide injections are highly effective at promoting weight loss. In one study, individuals treated with Semaglutide lost an average of 9-13 percent of their body weight over the course of a year without making any changes to their diet and exercise habits.
Is it safe?
Semaglutide is safe under medical supervision, producing far fewer side effects than most other weight loss medications. Some individuals report gastrointestinal upset, including nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, or constipation. To avoid these side effects, we add vitamin B6 to your treatment. We also start you off at a low dosage of Semaglutide and slowly increase it over time until we reach the ideal dosage for weight loss.
If you have type-1 diabetes or pancreatitis or if you or a family member have a history of thyroid cancer, we may recommend other weight loss solutions. Make sure to let us know about any health concerns to determine whether Semaglutide is suitable for you.
