Semaglutide FAQs
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a simple once-a-week weight loss shot. It is a glucagon-like Peptide (GLP-1) analogue used to treat and manage obesity effectively.
How does semaglutide work?
It does 3 things. First, it slows gastric emptying so you fill up faster and stay full longer when you eat.
Second, it shuts off Ghrelin, the hunger hormone that drives our cravings for high-calorie foods.
Finally, it works like glucagon (a hormone) in the body and breaks down your stored fat as energy. This process helps people shed 1-3 lbs a week all while never feeling hungry or deprived.
When used alongside a healthy diet and exercise routine this program creates long-term shifts to the “set point” to create and maintain sustainable long-term weight loss.
