A Game Changer
We’ve all heard the term “game changer.” A game changer completely alters the way something works or how effective it is. Semaglutide is just that – a game changer – for weight loss. Semaglutide has gained significant attention in recent years for its efficacy in promoting weight loss. Semaglutide is marketed under different brand names depending on the dosage prescribed. It was approved by the FDA under the brand name Wegovy for weight management in 2021. Semaglutide has proven to be a game changer in managing obesity, a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide.
What is Semaglutide?
GLP-1 is a hormone that occurs naturally as part of our digestion process. It is produced in the gut, and it plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. As a GLP-1 agonist, semaglutide:
- Slows down gastric emptying
- Enhances the feeling of fullness
- Helps regulate insulin secretion
Initially, semaglutide was developed as an injectable medication for managing blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. While being used as a diabetes medication, researchers began to understand that it promoted weight loss, too. Semaglutide is marketed under several brand names, including:
- Rybelsus
- Ozempic
- Wegovy
Rybelsus is an oral medication taken daily while Ozempic and Wegovy are injected under the skin weekly. Ozempic is prescribed at lower doses (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg) and is FDA approved as a diabetes management medication while Wegovy is prescribed in a 2.4 mg dose specifically for weight loss.
How Semaglutide Promotes Weight Loss
Semaglutide’s ability to facilitate weight loss is primarily tied to its influence on appetite. When injected, semaglutide helps:
- Reduce appetite: Semaglutide interacts with brain receptors responsible for hunger regulation, making users feel full faster and reducing the urge to overeat.
- Improves feelings of fullness: By slowing the emptying of the stomach, it enhances the feeling of fullness after meals, helping users consume fewer calories.
- Support healthy blood sugar levels: While its main effect for weight loss is reducing hunger, semaglutide also stabilizes blood sugar levels, which can prevent energy crashes and further cravings for unhealthy foods.
In clinical trials, individuals using semaglutide experienced significant weight loss compared to those using a placebo. Many participants lost as much as 15% (or, in some cases, even more) of their body weight over the course of a year, making semaglutide part of an effective weight management program for those who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
