Introduction to Semaglutide

Semaglutide is an innovative new medication used to treat overweight/obesity and help regulate blood sugar levels. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1 hormones in the body. At Renew Medical Clinic, we specialize in advanced semaglutide therapies to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss, balanced blood sugar, and an overall improvement in health.

How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors found throughout the body, producing several beneficial effects:

Appetite Reduction

  • Activates areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation
  • Increases feelings of fullness and satisfaction after eating

Slowed Digestion

  • Delays stomach emptying so food stays in the digestive tract longer
  • Leads to prolonged feelings of fullness between meals

Balanced Blood Sugar

  • Stimulates the release of insulin when blood sugar is high
  • Lowers elevated blood sugar closer to normal levels

Weight Loss

  • Reduces calorie intake through appetite suppression
  • May also increase resting metabolism/fat burning

Over time, these mechanisms promote weight loss, blood sugar control, and reduced risk for related health issues like diabetes and heart disease.

How long until I see results on semaglutide?

Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite/cravings, weight loss, and balanced blood sugar within 1-2 weeks. However, full effects may take 2-3 months. Be patient and stick with it!
