Semaglutide subtly changes your brain chemistry, affecting the area of the brain responsible for telling us that we’re full and satisfied after eating. This helps you to resist cravings, feel more satisfied for longer, and also aids in providing more stable energy levels throughout the day. Semaglutide also sends signals down to the stomach, slowing down the emptying of your stomach into the small intestine. This results in you feeling fuller for longer stretches of time and more satiated after consuming your meal. While semaglutide injections have been clinically shown to help support healthy weight loss, they are designed to be used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise regime. This produces long-term results and will help you sustain your weight loss results after weaning off semaglutide.

For those that are looking for clinically substantiated method of weight loss, semaglutide could be the answer. Medical studies have shown that regular semaglutide injections can help patients to control their blood sugar levels and shed excess weight. When appropriately taken and monitored by a medical professional, weight loss injections can help curb unhealthy cravings and prolong feelings of fullness and satisfaction after eating.

To qualify for semaglutide injections, you’ll have to be assessed by your primary care provider or another licenced medical professional. They will perform a comprehensive examination to ensure that semaglutide is a safe option for you, in addition to providing you any potential weight loss alternatives. To be prescribed semaglutide, you must be over the age of 18 and have a BMI over 30. However, you may also qualify for semaglutide injections if you have a weight or cardiac disorder in addition to a BMI that is over 27. As with many medications, semaglutide injections are not suitable for everyone. Certain predispositions or medical conditions may make it an unsafe option for some, in which case your doctor will provide you with a suitable alternative for your weight loss goals.
