Semaglutide Therapy

Achieving a healthier weight can lead to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved mobility, and increased energy levels. It also helps improve a person’s body image, contributing to a better self-esteem and sense of empowerment. As such, various ways have been developed to achieve one’s ideal weight. Nowadays, one of those that are becoming increasingly popular is semaglutide.

Semaglutide, the GLP-1 receptor agonist, is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for chronic weight loss programs.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it’s a drug that mimics the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the gut that functions in regulating blood sugar levels, insulin secretion, and appetite.

Although initially developed for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes, semaglutide has recently gained attention for its effect on weight loss and has been used for this purpose ever since. Semaglutide is also known for its other names, Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. These are the brand names under which semaglutide is marketed and prescribed.

How Semaglutide Therapy is Performed

Semaglutide therapy is a carefully managed process that should be overseen by a qualified healthcare professional, such as our experts at Beyond Stem Cells.

The initial step involves scheduling an appointment with a weight loss professional who will evaluate your health history and suitability for the program based on FDA recommendations. Upon approval, the weight loss professional will initiate semaglutide treatment at a low dosage, gradually increasing to around 2.4mg per week.

The drug is administered by injection once weekly under the skin of the thigh, upper arm, or abdomen, and can be taken with or without meals. The therapy typically begins at 0.25 mg weekly and is increased by 0.25 mg every four weeks until reaching the target or tolerated dose.

Weight loss professionals working with you during semaglutide therapy may also recommend personalized exercise plans, behavioral interventions, and other ongoing initiatives to complement the semaglutide therapy and improve metabolism.

How Semaglutide Therapy Works for Weight Loss

Semaglutide therapy is a procedure where semaglutide is administered to a patient wanting to see visible improvements in their weight. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that brings about its weight loss effects in multiple ways:

  • Appetite Regulation: Semaglutide targets the brain centers that regulate appetite, especially after eating, leading to increased feelings of fullness and reduced hunger. This helps individuals eat less and make mindful food choices, contributing to successful weight loss.
  • Slower Gastric Emptying: Gastric emptying refers to the rate at which the stomach empties its content into the small intestine. Semaglutide helps slow down this process, resulting in a prolonged feeling of satiety after meals, curbing cravings, and helping to resist the urge to overeat.
  • Modulation of Reward Pathways: Semaglutide modulates the brain’s reward centers, which are responsible for the pleasurable sensations associated with food, helping to dampen the allure of high-calorie, indulgent foods, making it easier to adhere to a nutritional plan.

In the graph below, participants with (BMI >30) took 2.4 mg Semaglutide each week for 68 weeks. The treatment group lost about 15% body weight (37 lb for a 250 lb individual). The placebo group lost 2.4% body weight. You can expect even better results combined with a medical weight loss program.

Benefits of Semaglutide Therapy

Semaglutide therapy is generally a well-tolerated procedure, with minimal side effects that typically subside within a few days. It’s also easy to use, requiring only one injection per week, making it a convenient option for those looking for a lasting weight loss solution.

Weight Loss

One of the most significant benefits of semaglutide therapy is, of course, weight loss. Clinical trials have shown that individuals who received semaglutide injections experienced significant weight loss compared to those who received a placebo.

Semaglutide has also been shown to help individuals lose up to 11% of their body weight after six months, making it a highly effective option for those struggling with overweight or obesity.

Controlled Hunger and Craving

Semaglutide therapy helps to control hunger and cravings, making it easier to stick to a reduced-calorie diet. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, semaglutide sends signals that promote feelings of fullness and reduce the desire to overeat. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who tend to overeat or indulge in emotional or stress eating to make them feel better.

Better Regulated Blood Sugar Levels

Semaglutide therapy has been found to improve blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. By increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing insulin resistance, semaglutide helps to regulate blood sugar levels more effectively. This can lead to a reduction in medication requirements and an overall improvement in glycemic control.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Inflammation in the body is a common underlying factor in many chronic health conditions, including obesity. Semaglutide has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote overall health. By addressing inflammation, semaglutide therapy not only aids in weight loss but also has potential benefits for inflammatory-related conditions.

Improved Cardiovascular Health

Beyond its weight loss benefits, semaglutide therapy has been shown to have positive effects on cardiovascular health. Clinical trials have demonstrated a significant reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events in individuals who received semaglutide injections. This means that semaglutide therapy not only helps with weight loss but also contributes to a healthier heart and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
