Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus or to help lose weight in adults with an elevated BMI. It increases the production of insulin, lowers blood sugar levels, and slows gastric emptying. It also appears to enhance growth of cells in the pancreas that help produce insulin.
How we Help
Semaglutide helps prevent spikes in blood sugar and allows our body to more slowly process the foods we eat, in turn decreasing our appetite and overall calorie consumption throughout the day. Individuals can experience rapid changes in body weight without much lifestyle change, but when paired with a healthy diet and exercise the fat just melts right off!
How We Help
GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide target inflammatory pathways in the body that contribute to tissue damage and oxidative stress. Neurotransmitters and higher function areas of the brain are directly targeted by GLP-1 agonists, which decrease appetite and improve satiation (fullness). Digestion of food in the GI tract is slowed, altering the how quickly the stomach empties its contents into the intestines. GLP-1 agonists have been proven to increase insulin secretion and decrease glucagon levels in the body, improving blood sugar regulation.

Nausea or stomach discomfort typically decreases as your body adapts to semaglutide over the course of several weeks.
If any side effects become worse or do not subside with continued use, contact your medical provider promptly.
