Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Sometimes, a little extra help can make all the difference on your weight loss journey. Semaglutide might be just what you need to reach your goals. This medication is injected under the skin once a week, at any time of day, with or without food. For the best results, it should be injected on the same day each week.
What Makes Semaglutide Special?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics a natural protein in your body that helps regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin production. Initially used to treat Type 2 Diabetes, Semaglutide has now been FDA-approved for weight management in overweight adults with additional risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea.
In addition to aiding weight loss, Semaglutide helps reduce the risk of serious conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and death in patients with Type 2 Diabetes, vascular disease, or heart disease. This dual benefit makes it a valuable tool for improving overall health and managing multiple risk factors.
How Semaglutide Works
For the best results, combine Semaglutide with these healthy lifestyle changes:
- Daily Protein Intake: 2/3 to 1 gram per pound of body weight.
- Limit Alcohol: Reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption.
- Exercise Regularly: Engage in low-impact activities like walking, yoga, or cycling 3-5 times per week.
