Weight loss can be a challenging journey for many individuals. Diet and exercise alone may not be enough for individuals who have a hard time losing weight. Fortunately, there is a hormone called glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) that can help individuals achieve their weight loss goals. The latest weight loss medication containing GLP-1 is called Semaglutide. We will discuss everything you need to know about the GLP-1 peptide and Semaglutide at Bella Sol Med Spa in Chino, CA.
Glucagon-like peptide-1, also known as GLP-1, is a hormone in the body produced by the intestines. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and insulin levels in the body. This hormone signals to the brain when you’re full, and it slows down the emptying of the stomach.* The end result is that you feel fuller, longer.*
Semaglutide is a medication that works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1 in the body. The medication is taken once a week by injection and can be used in conjunction with diet and exercise to promote weight loss. Semaglutide works by regulating appetite and slowing down stomach emptying. A clinical study has shown that individuals who use Semaglutide can lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight.*
Semaglutide is designed for individuals who have a BMI of 30 or higher (obese) or those with a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. It may also be an option for those who have not been able to lose weight or maintain weight loss through diet and exercise alone.
Like any medication, Semaglutide does have side effects. Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These side effects can be managed by gradually increasing the dosage of Semaglutide. It’s important to note, however, that Semaglutide is not a magic pill and must be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise routine.
Semaglutide is a prescription medication and must be prescribed by a medical professional. If you’re interested in using Semaglutide, consult with a medical provider at Bella Sol Med Spa to see if it’s the right fit for you.
Overall, Semaglutide can be a game-changer for individuals struggling with weight loss. The GLP-1 peptide has shown to be effective in regulating appetite and promoting weight loss.* If you’re interested in trying Semaglutide, speak to our medical provider about whether it’s the right option for you.
