Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. However, recent research has shown that semaglutide can also be highly effective for sustainable weight loss and weight management when combined with lifestyle changes.
Our clinic provides semaglutide as part of a comprehensive weight loss program tailored to each patient's unique needs. We help patients successfully lose weight and keep it off long-term through customized eating plans, exercise guidance, and regular follow-ups.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. It activates areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, leading to reduced hunger and calorie intake. This makes it easier to follow a lower-calorie diet. Semaglutide also slows digestion, meaning food stays in the stomach longer, contributing to longer-lasting feelings of fullness and further calorie reduction.
Numerous large-scale studies on semaglutide have demonstrated its safety and efficacy for weight management. In addition to significant weight loss, semaglutide provides other health benefits like improved markers for cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease risk reduction, and enhanced glycemic control for those with prediabetes or diabetes.
Semaglutide for weight loss provides the following evidence-based benefits:
Unlike many diets which lead to eventual weight regain, semaglutide-assisted loss combined with lifestyle changes can successfully help patients keep weight off long-term. Patients can expect to lose up to 20 pounds per month initially, with steady results continuing over time.
