Semaglutide
Struggling with weight gain and looking for a proven, reliable approach? Semaglutide can help reduce weight, regulate appetite, and boost your weight loss for good.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed as a medication for managing diabetes and has been studied and proven to help non-diabetic people lose weight. It works by increasing insulin levels in your body which in turn lowers your blood sugar. It also works by mimicking the hormone responsible for sending signals of satiety (fullness) to the brain making it a powerful appetite suppressant. Semaglutide prolongs digestion, helping to maintain a feeling of fullness for a longer period. This weekly FDA-approved injection is a great tool to help clients that have weight-related concerns live an elevated lifestyle.
