What are the benefits of Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a peptide injection under the brand names Ozempic® and Wegovy®.
When used along with healthy lifestyle habits, it can:
1. Stimulate weight loss
2. Control blood sugar
3. Reduce appetite
4. Enhance fat burning
5. Reduce your body fat percentage
6. Improve fertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
7. Protect your nervous system
8. Reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death
You may lose a significant amount of body weight when using Semaglutide. If you’re overweight, weight loss can increase your energy, reduce chronic disease risks, and improve disease management.
Is Semaglutide right for me?
If you have excess body weight and traditional diet and exercise plans haven’t worked, Semaglutide might be the solution for you. To find out, your Community Outreach Medical Center specialist weighs you, determines your body mass index (BMI), checks your vital signs, reviews your medical history, and completes a medical evaluation.
You might also undergo Lab testing to check for nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, chronic diseases, or disease risk factors before your specialist tailors a weight loss plan best suited to your needs.
How does the Semaglutide medication work?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication that is injected under the skin using a tiny insulin needle once a week (every seven days), day or night, with or without food.
The prescription medication works like the incretin hormones produced naturally by your body when you eat. These hormones tell the brain that food eaten is becoming fuel and signals the overall satisfaction of feeling full. It also helps manage blood sugar levels and can improve blood sugar levels in people with impaired glucose tolerance, prediabetes, or diabetes.
Semaglutide speeds up the weight loss process for many patients. However, like other medical weight loss diets, what you eat, exercise, lifestyle changes, and time will help determine the overall success of your weight loss journey.
