Many things can contribute to not being able to lose weight. Things like genetics, hormones, simple aging, and many other things. It is not abnormal to find out that eating right and exercising may no longer be enough to maintain a healthy weight. Adding Semaglutide may be just the thing to help you achieve your goals. Semaglutide is in a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide 1 GLP1 agonists– a naturally occurring hormone in your body – which is released after you eat and indicates to your brain that you are full. This peptide also slows the emptying of your stomach, which leads to feelings of fullness for longer after you have eaten. Advantages of Semaglutide include its stimulation of your pancreas to increase insulin release which in turn is robust and sustained effects on glucose levels and weight loss. Healthier blood sugar levels can help you feel more energetic throughout your day.
Semaglutide is a once-a-week injection with potential side effects including but not limited to:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Elevated serum lipase
- Elevated serum amylase
- Fatigue
The amount of weight loss varies from person to person and is not guaranteed, diet and exercise may enhance weight loss.
