How Semaglutide for Weight Loss Works

This is a doctor-prescribed all natural medication, that is individually formulated for each patient, called Semaglutide or GLP-1.   

When a person takes semaglutide for weight loss, the medication works by mimicking the action of a natural hormone called GLP-1, which is produced in the intestine in response to food intake. Semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors in various tissues throughout the body, including the pancreas, stomach, liver, and brain. 

Everytime we eat, a specific hormone is naturally released in our body that gives a feeling of fullness.  

The primary effect of semaglutide is to increase insulin secretion from the pancreas, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. In addition, semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, which leads to a feeling of fullness and reduced appetite. Semaglutide also affects the hypothalamus in the brain, which is responsible for regulating hunger and satiety. By activating certain neurons in the hypothalamus, semaglutide can decrease hunger, increase feelings of fullness,  and reduce or eliminate cravings, further promoting weight loss. 

Moreover, semaglutide has been shown to have additional beneficial effects on the body, such as improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and decreasing fatty liver. These effects can contribute to weight loss and overall improvements in metabolic health. 

Your body also has a "set point" which is the number on the scale your weight normally hovers around.  The treatment plan creates a new, lower set point after you lose your weight goal amount.

Approximately 70% of American adults are obese or overweight.  Being obese or over weight is a serious health issue associated with some leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and is linked to an increases risk if certain types of cancer.  

Losing 5% to 10% of body weight through diet and exercise has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in adult patients with obesity or overweight.

We've all been there, diet after diet and no permanent weight loss.  You've tried Keto, Paleo, meal plans, online diets, raw food, vegan, vegetarian, blood type, detox, liquid, fasting, low-calorie, low-carb, and low- fat.  Even gastric band surgery isn't always successful.

Food companies are allowed to add ingredients that make your food taste better, but can ultimately be causing weight gain or hormonal imbalances.  Some of these include: high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, monosodium glutamate, and BPA are just a few.
