Everything You Need to Know About Semaglutide
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. Some of the benefits of Semaglutide therapy for weight loss include:
Significant reduction in body weight: Studies have found that semaglutide treatment leads to significant reductions in body weight, with patients losing an average of 5-10% of their initial body weight.
Improved glucose control: In addition to promoting weight loss, semaglutide and glp-1 agonists can also improve glucose control in patients, which can lead to a reduction in the risk of complications associated with the disease.
Reduced appetite and increased feelings of fullness: Semaglutide works by activating GLP-1 receptors in the body, which can reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a reduction in food intake.
May improve cardiovascular health: Semaglutide may also have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health, such as reducing blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels.
researchers are still studying the systemic effects of semaglutide and glp-1 agonists on the body, but there is promising evidence that there are gut health, cognitive, and anti-inflammatory benefits to this medication.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It works by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1 in the body.
GLP-1 is a hormone that is released from the gut in response to food intake. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas, which helps to lower blood glucose levels. it also suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying, which helps to reduce food intake.
Semaglutide works by binding to the GLP-1 receptors in the body and activating them. This leads to the same effects as naturally occurring GLP-1, including increased insulin secretion and reduced appetite, which can help to lower blood glucose levels and promote weight loss. this is why we say that semaglutide works with your body, not against it.
Additionally, by reducing appetite, regulating blood sugar, and promoting weight loss, semaglutide can improve overall health and reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Why Semaglutide Instead of Other Interventions?
Our Medical Director, Dr. Cliff Thomas, has been a pioneer in the weight loss industry for many decades. Over the years, Dr. Thomas has seen a multitude of drugs, fad diets, and surgical weight loss interventions, and according to his expertise, Semaglutide is the most promising and safest option available.
At Huemn, we believe in a comprehensive approach to health, wellness, and longevity. While lifestyle plays a substantial role in health outcomes, it isn't lost on us that weight loss is a multi-faceted issue. We love Semaglutide because not only does it help people feel fuller and assist in the weight loss process, but it also supports the body with complex issues due to blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic conditions.
