What is Semaglutide and How Can It Help?
Semaglutide is an injectable medication used to manage weight loss and control blood sugar levels in adults with overweight or obesity, as well as those with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1 - a hormone that reduces appetite and food intake while slowing digestion to promote feelings of fullness.
At Renew Wellness in River Vale, New Jersey, we provide compounded semaglutide injections tailored to your unique needs. Our extensive experience and state-of-the-art techniques allow us to create customized treatment plans that help patients achieve sustainable weight loss and better health.
Semaglutide works by:
- Suppressing appetite and reducing food cravings
- Increasing feelings of fullness so less food is consumed per meal
- Slowing stomach emptying to promote prolonged satiety
- Improving control over eating and portion sizes
- Enhancing insulin secretion and reducing blood sugar levels
Over the course of treatment, most patients experience significant fat loss and weight reduction, particularly in the abdomen and waist area. For many, semaglutide is a life-changing therapy that empowers them to finally get control over emotional or compulsive eating patterns.
