Control appetite and food intake and lose weight

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication designed to aid in weight management and control blood sugar levels. Originally developed for diabetes, it mimics a hormone that targets areas of the brain regulating appetite and food intake. By enhancing feelings of fullness and reducing hunger, semaglutide supports sustainable weight loss. At Millennia Wellness MD, we offer semaglutide as a part of our personalized weight loss plans, combining it with expert nutrition and lifestyle coaching to help you achieve lasting wellness goals.

Semaglutide helps with the following concerns:

  • Effective weight loss and management
  • Appetite control and reduced food cravings
  • Blood sugar regulation and stability
  • Lowering HbA1c levels in diabetic patients
  • Reducing the risk of obesity-related complications
  • Enhancing overall metabolic health
  • Supporting sustainable lifestyle changes
  • Improving cardiovascular health markers

How semaglutide works its magic

Overview

Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the action of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone naturally produced in the gut. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. By enhancing the effects of GLP-1, semaglutide helps with weight loss through several mechanisms of action.

Suppressing appetite

Semaglutide works by targeting receptors in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. By binding to these receptors, it enhances the natural satiety signals of GLP-1, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness. This helps individuals consume fewer calories, making it easier to achieve and maintain weight loss.

Slowing gastric emptying

Another way semaglutide aids in weight loss is by slowing the rate at which the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine. This delayed gastric emptying prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals, reducing the frequency and intensity of hunger pangs. As a result, individuals are less likely to overeat, supporting a healthier caloric intake.

Controlling blood sugar levels

Semaglutide also helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion in response to meals and reducing the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. By maintaining stable blood sugar levels, semaglutide prevents the spikes and crashes that can trigger cravings and overeating. This also contributes to sustainable weight loss.
