Medical Weight Loss
Semiglutide is a medication that works by mimicking the effects of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. This hormone helps to regulate appetite and slow down digestion, leading to weight loss. It is injected under the skin, once a week.
Many clinical studies have shown that semiglutide can lead to significant weight loss, even in individuals who have not been able to lose weight through other methods. In fact, in one study, participants who took semiglutide lost an average of 18 pounds over 68 weeks, compared to an average weight loss of 2 pounds in the control group.
It is important to note that semiglutide is not a magic solution for weight loss and it is not suitable for everyone. It is only available by prescription and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It should not be used as a first-line treatment for weight loss and should only be used in combination with lifestyle changes such as healthy diet and regular exercise.
If you are struggling with obesity and have not been able to lose weight through other methods, semiglutide may be an option worth discussing with your healthcare provider.
