Semaglutide is a peptide medication used for weight loss. It works by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). GLP-1 is produced in the intestine and released in response to food intake. It has several effects that contribute to weight loss:

Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide helps reduce appetite by acting on the brain’s appetite control centers. This leads to a decreased desire for food and a feeling of fullness.

Slowed Gastric Emptying: It slows down the emptying of the stomach, which prolongs the feeling of fullness after a meal, making people eat less.

Blood Sugar Control: Semaglutide helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin only when needed, preventing overeating due to blood sugar spikes and crashes.

Reduced Caloric Intake: By reducing hunger and food cravings, it helps individuals consume fewer calories, which is essential for weight loss.

Increased Energy Expenditure: Semaglutide may also enhance energy expenditure, which can contribute to weight loss.

Semaglutide is typically used as part of a comprehensive weight management program, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It’s not a stand-alone solution and should be prescribed and supervised by a healthcare provider.

We offer both Injectable & Sublingual Semaglutide. An initial consult and recent labs are required for enrollment to the clinic.
