Medical Weight Loss Options

Semaglutide

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating. Semaglutide has emerged as a promising weapon in the battle against obesity. Acting as a signal from the body after meals, this hormone communicates to the brain that satisfaction has been reached, slowing down the rate at which food is digested, prolonging the feeling of fullness, and reducing hunger pangs. These combined effects significantly lower calorie intake, ultimately resulting in significant weight loss.  When complemented by healthy dieting and exercise, Semaglutide represents a profound leap forward in the fight against this prevailing health issue. As patients begin seeing notable results within mere weeks of the initial injection, hope is reignited, and motivation to persevere in adopting a healthier lifestyle is fortified.
