Weight Loss Program (with Semaglutide)
Weight loss can be challenging, but modern medical advancements have introduced new and effective treatments. The use of Semaglutide is one of these remedies that can be used to help lose weight. At Glow Wellness Care in East Northport, NY, we offer this FDA-approved medication as part of our comprehensive weight loss program to help patients achieve sustainable, long-term results. As a result of this article, you will learn what Semaglutide can do for you, and how the treatment works and benefits can be expected.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist initially developed to treat the chronic condition type 2 diabetes to aid in the regulation blood sugar levels. However, clinical studies revealed a significant side effect—patients experienced substantial weight loss. As a result, the FDA approved semaglutide in 2021 as a weight loss medication under the brand name Wegovy.
How Does Semaglutide Aid Weight Loss?
Semaglutide mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which affects areas of the brain that control appetite and food intake. Semaglutide helps reduce caloric intake and supports long-term weight loss by slowing digestion and making you feel fuller for longer. The medication also enhances the body’s insulin sensitivity, improving metabolism.
Critical Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss
- Clinically Proven Results: Clinical trials showed that Semaglutide patients lost an average of 15-20% of their body weight.
- FDA-Approved: Semaglutide is an FDA-approved treatment, ensuring its safety and efficacy.
- Reduced Appetite: The treatment helps to naturally control hunger by mimicking hormones that signal satiety to the brain.
- Sustainable Weight Loss: Semaglutide can help you lose weight over the long term when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Ideal Candidates for Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
It is recommended for overweight or obese individuals, or those with a BMI over 27 and weight-related medical conditions, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, to take semaglutide. Despite its effectiveness, semaglutide should only be used for certain conditions.
