How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide binds to the GLP-1 receptors in your body to increase insulin production, decrease glucagon release, and promote satiety. It is incredibly effective for patients looking to reach certain weight loss goals. Impressively, it can also slow down gastric emptying, meaning food stays in your stomach for longer periods of time. This makes you feel more full and for longer amounts of time, causing you to eat less and lose weight.

If you would like to lose excess weight, whether it be for your health or comfort, this treatment can be a great option for you.

If you’re ready to take the next step towards a healthier, happier life, our team can help you navigate semaglutide treatment and make the most out of its benefits.
