Everything You Need to Know About Semaglutide
When you take part in HYDRO Infusions’ medical weight loss program, a part of it is investigating potential weight loss medication that can help you healthily lose weight, such as semaglutide. Originally a diabetes drug, semaglutide has now been used to help many people shed pounds and live happy and healthy lives. But what exactly is semaglutide and how does it work? Here’s everything you need to know about semaglutide.
What is Semaglutide?
As previously mentioned, semaglutide was initially used as a diabetes medication, as it mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which helps the body increase insulin level production. This in turn helps reduce blood sugar (glucose). Semaglutide has been used to treat Type 2 diabetes for over 15 years.
When it comes to medical weight loss, semaglutide can also help. It is the first FCA-approved drug since 2014 to help with chronic weight management in overweight adults, as well as adults suffering from general obesity. GLP-1, in higher amounts, impacts the parts of your brain that suppress appetite. This in turn tells your brain and body that you feel full. When combined with exercise, diet, and other medication, users can lose a considerable amount of weight. HYDRO Infusions uses semaglutide injections in our medical weight loss program for that reason.
How Does it Work?
A prescribed injection, semaglutide slows down how fast food leaves your stomach, allowing you to feel fuller for longer periods. As a result, your hunger is reduced and you’ll consume fewer calories, allowing you to lose, potentially, 1-2 pounds a week. It’s important to understand that semaglutide needs to work with healthy habits to fully work. That’s what our medical weight loss program will teach you.
Benefits of Semaglutide
Semaglutide offers a multitude of benefits, with the most important one being able to lose weight safely and healthily. Other benefits include promoting lasting weight loss and better metabolic health. There are minimal side effects to using semaglutide and it only needs to be injected once a week, making it a simple, convenient and easy drug to use for medical weight loss programs.
Semaglutide is a revolutionary option in the world of medical weight loss. HYDRO Infusions combines it with healthy eating, exercising and habits to ensure you find present and future success.
