How Does Our Weight Loss Medication Work?

Here’s the lowdown on the newest weight loss doctor-prescribed medicine, including how it works, what to expect, when to start, and why you might want to consider it.

Medicine That You Can Rely On

Semaglutide or GLP-1 is a doctor-prescribed, all-natural, weekly medication that is custom-blended for each patient.

​When we eat, our bodies release a hormone that makes us feel full. This medicine targets the brain to mimic that full feeling, reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and ultimately lower calorie intake.

Your body has a natural weight range that it tends to stay within. The treatment plan can help you reset your body’s set point to a lower weight, so you can maintain your weight loss long-term.

Overweight and obesity are major health problems in the United States, affecting nearly 70% of adults. These conditions are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

​Adults with obesity or overweight who lose 5-10% of their body weight through diet and exercise may reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.

Clinical Trials Show Results

Clinical trials conducted by the FDA showed that patients taking this drug lost an average of 15% of their body weight, or about 35 pounds. In the long term, some patients even lost up to 30% of their body weight!

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is produced in the small intestine and helps to regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon secretion.

Semaglutide, a medication that has been shown to reduce appetite, improve control of eating, and reduce food cravings, can also improve glycemic control.

There’s good news on the way

In June 2021, the FDA approved semaglutide, the first new weight-loss medication in nearly a decade. Semaglutide is indicated for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 27 or greater who have at least one weight-related condition, or in adults with a BMI of 30 or greater.

Imagine a weight loss medication that helps you feel full and satisfied, so you can stay on track with your diet and reach your goals. This revolutionary drug has been called the “holy grail” of weight loss by The New York Times and TV networks, and Dr. Oz has even called it a “true game changer.
