Semaglutide
in Hinsdale IL
Semaglutide is a once weekly injection for weight loss, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Clinical studies show that Semaglutide can reduce appetite, improve control of eating, and reduce food cravings in addition to improved glycemic control.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog
GLP-1 is a hormone that plays an important role in digestion. GLP-1 is secreted by your GI tract after you eat and signals your brain and other parts of your body that you are full. When injected once a week, Semaglutide acts like a GLP-1 and helps with weight loss by sending signals to your brain and GI tract that:
- reduce appetite by telling your brain that you are full.
- decrease blood sugar by improving insulin resistance.
- slow down gastric emptying, causing you to feel full longer after a healthy meal.
