How It Works
Semiglutides work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. This can make you feel less hungry, eat less, and absorb food more slowly. These combined effects can lead to weight loss.
Appetite Suppression
By stimulating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, semiglutides can help reduce feelings of hunger and increase feelings of fullness. This can lead to a decrease in calorie intake.
Slower Stomach Emptying
Semiglutides can slow down the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This can help you feel full for a longer period of time, reducing the likelihood of overeating.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity
In people with type 2 diabetes, semiglutides can improve insulin sensitivity. This means the body’s cells are better able to use insulin to absorb glucose from the blood, which can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Reduced Cravings
Some people report experiencing fewer cravings for unhealthy foods while taking semiglutides. This can make it easier to stick to a healthy diet.
Increased Energy Expenditure
In some cases, semiglutides may help increase the number of calories your body burns, which can contribute to weight loss.
Improved Blood Sugar Control
or people with type 2 diabetes, semiglutides can help improve blood sugar control. This can reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease and stroke.
