How The Medication Works

The How, What, When & Why of Semaglutide

Giving you the how, what, when and why of the newest weight-loss, doctor-prescribed medicine.

Medicine You Can Count On

The doctor-prescribed, weekly treatment is a custom-blended medication that is individually formulated for each patient, called Semaglutide or GLP-1. Every time we eat, a specific hormone is automatically released in our body that gives us a feeling of fullness. The medicine targets the brain and mimics that full feeling, plus reduces appetite, slows stomach emptying, and ultimately decreases your caloric intake.

Approximately 70% of American adults are obese or overweight — a serious health issue associated with some leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Losing 5% to 10% of body weight has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in adults with obesity or overweight.

Discover WHAT

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog. GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar. Studies show that semaglutide reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings in addition to improving glycemic control.

There’s Hope on the Horizon

On June 4, 2021 the FDA approved the first new class of weight-loss medications after almost a decade, called Semaglutide or GLP-1. The drug is indicated for chronic weight management in patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m2 or greater who have a least one weight-related ailment or in patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater.

Imagine not having to fight hunger pangs that can throw you off your diet and back on the weight-gain wagon. As a result of taking the medicine, you’re feeling better, have a healthier life, and losing weight has had a positive impact on your overall well-being. The New York Times and TV networks said this could be “the holy grail” of weight loss. Even Dr. Oz called this revolutionary fat-busting drug “a true game changer.”
