Benefits + Effects
-
Semaglutide acts on ghrelin receptors in the brain. Ghrelin is the hormone responsible for making us feel hungry when other hormones like leptin are not blocking it. Since Semaglutide blocks ghrelin, you could feel less hungry throughout the day. I have also seen patients on semaglutide show signs of craving less sugar and consuming alcohol less.
-
Recent research shows that medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, including brands like Mounjaro and Wegovy, might help reduce inflammation in important body parts like the liver, kidneys, heart, and brain. This is exciting because it offers hope that these drugs could potentially treat conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, where brain inflammation plays a key role. Over 20 clinical studies are investigating how these drugs could be used for these brain conditions.

Studies show an average of 15-18% loss of body fat compared to placebo treatments (-2.4%).

FAQs

One word: marketing. Ozempic is marketed for diabetes treatment, and Wegovy is designated for weight loss. Both are Semaglutide in its generic form.
-
Semaglutide acts like human glucagon-like peptide-1 in that it increases insulin secretion, thereby increasing sugar metabolism. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Weight loss may result from GLP-1's reduction of appetite and slowing down digestion.
-
The Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People With Obesity (STEP) trials have shown the efficacy of semaglutide in treating obesity. In large RCTs, patients receiving semaglutide, 2.4mg, lost a mean of 6% of their weight by week 12 and 12% of their weight by week 28.
Keep in mind that you must put in the work to reap optimal results from Semaglutide. Try exercising for 30 minutes every day and eating nutrient-rich foods. Empty calories make it harder to achieve your desired weight goal.

Semaglutide appointments include an InBody 770 analysis, which is used by major hospitals and provides essential weight loss data, such as Percent Body Fat, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Mass Ratio. Your weight is made up of muscle, fat, and water. The key to effective weight loss is losing excess body fat, not overall body weight. Weight loss is not the same as fat loss. Instead of tracking how heavy you are, use the body composition analysis to track how healthy you truly are.
Clinical studies have found that after 6 months, patients on semaglutide had lost 5 to 13 percent more weight compared with those taking other treatments and placebo groups.
