Semaglutide-assisted Weight Loss Program
What is Semaglutide
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin which help the body manages blood sugar. GLP-1 in higher amounts interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss which can reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease in people who are obese or overweight.
