Semaglutide has become an increasingly popular weight loss treatment in recent years due to its effectiveness and few side effects. The medicine works quickly and has been found to be one of the most effective medicines available for weight loss. It also comes with fewer side effects than other treatments, making it a great option for those looking to lose the extra pounds without experiencing unpleasant side effects. Additionally, studies show that patients taking Semaglutide tend to keep their lost weight off long term—an important factor when considering any weight loss program or medication.
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing the release of glucagon. One of the benefits associated with Semaglutide therapy is weight loss. It works by slowing down the emptying of the stomach, leading to increased feelings of fullness and reduced food intake. In addition, it reduces cravings for high-calorie foods, leading to a lower overall calorie intake. Studies have shown that patients treated with Semaglutide lost significantly more weight than those who received a placebo or other diabetes medications. This makes Semaglutide an attractive option for people with type 2 diabetes who struggle with obesity or overweight, as it can help them achieve better glycemic control and improve their overall health outcomes.
Semaglutide works to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and keep cravings at bay. By mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1, which is produced in your digestive system after eating a meal, this injectable medication helps slow down digestion as well as signal your brain when you've had enough food. This means that while taking Semglutide it can be easier to stick with healthier dietary choices by feeling full for longer periods of time without having strong cravings interrupting those efforts!
Semaglutide is administered in 5 different dosages. Each week you receive one injection at the office and each month we will increase the dosage until you reach level 5. Most patients however, get the desired results within levels 1 through 3. We will work with you to dial in your dosage and ensure you stay on track.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Semaglutide was effective in promoting weight loss among overweight or obese patients without diabetes. The study included over 2,000 participants who were randomly assigned to receive either Semaglutide or a placebo injection once a week for 68 weeks. The results showed that patients treated with Semaglutide lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight, while those who received a placebo lost only 2.4%.
Another study published in Diabetes Care evaluated the effectiveness of Semaglutide for weight loss among people with type 2 diabetes who were also overweight or obese. The study included over 1,200 participants who were randomly assigned to receive either Semaglutide or a placebo injection once a week for 40 weeks. The results showed that patients treated with Semaglutide lost an average of 6.0% of their body weight, compared to only 1.5% among those who received a placebo.
Overall, these studies suggest that Semaglutide may be an effective option for people looking to lose weight, particularly those who struggle with obesity or overweight and have other health conditions like type 2 diabetes. Our goal at Healthy Solutions Clinic is for our patients to use these GLP-1 Agonist Medications in conjunction with our medically supervised weight loss plan to lose greater than 10% of their body weight within 90 days. If you need to lose 10% or more of your body weight, schedule your appointment today and get started on a new healthier you.
We know that Semaglutide works to help your body regulate its food, sugar and fat metabolism, but there are other health benefits that were also discovered during the drug trials.
Helps your pancreas release more insulin
Semaglutide sends signals to your pancreas making it more responsive to increases in your blood sugar levels. This means that when you eat a meal and your blood sugar increases as a result, your pancreas responds more quickly and releases more insulin to lower and improve blood sugar levels to their optimum state. Semaglutide doesn't usually cause low blood sugar because it only triggers insulin when your blood sugar increases. As a result, trials have shown that most patients' long-term blood sugar control was significantly improved, which may help reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes or complications from diabetes later in life.
Helps prevent your liver from storing too much sugar and fat
When your blood sugar stays high for longer than necessary, it causes your liver to turn it into glycogen and store this form of sugar in the liver and muscles. This can then be released when your blood sugar fallstoo low or in response to vigorous exercise.
Slows down food leaving your stomach
Semaglutide sends signals to your stomach that encourage it to empty into other parts of your digestive system more slowly. This means that as your digestive system breaks down your food into sugars, it powers the cells in your body more smoothly and slowly too. You get a slow and smooth increase in your blood sugar, rather than large peaks and troughs. Overall, this improves blood glucose control and likely also reduces the chances of developing diabetes and the health consequences of complications on your body's organs.
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular events
Semaglutide has also been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly in those already at higher risk with type 2diabetes.The SUSTAIN-6 trial specifically looked at how Semaglutide affects major cardiovascular events, such as strokes and heart attacks. Treating people with type 2 diabetes who already had a high risk of heart attack and stroke with Semaglutide resulted in significantly lower rates of death and non-fatal events than those who received the placebo.
