If you’ve ever tried to lose weight and found that you couldn’t achieve your goals, you’re not alone! Countless Americans across all age groups and backgrounds have struggled to lose and maintain their weight, despite efforts to lower caloric intake and increase physical activity. Fortunately, a new breakthrough weight loss medication, semaglutide, might give you the push you need to achieve your health goals.
Let’s get started:
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist designed to mimic the GLP-1 hormone which is naturally produced in the gut and released in response to food consumption. Once this hormone is released, it lowers the appetite, stimulates insulin secretion and limits glucagon secretion.
How does it help with weight loss?
As a prescription medication for weight management, semaglutide helps to curb food intake while increasing feelings of fullness. More specifically, this once-weekly injection works by prompting the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar, and inhibiting the production of glucagon, which raises blood sugar. As a result, your appetite is reduced and you’ll feel fuller for much longer, allowing you to more easily control your caloric intake. Semaglutide has the potential to lower insulin resistance by regulating blood sugar and insulin pathways in the body. Each person has their own unique needs and goals when it comes to weight management, so your individual results may vary.
How to complement your results.
Now that you’ve reached your weight loss goals once and for all, you may find that there are new aesthetic concerns you’d like to address. Putting the finishing touches on your healthy body might involve procedures such as:
- Breast augmentation. With significant weight loss comes significant changes to your body and your proportions. A breast augmentation can restore volume and fullness to the breasts to help you live with confidence.
- Breast lift. This breast procedure can provide you with more lifted, perky, youthful-looking breasts and reduce the size of enlarged areolas for a more even, balanced appearance.
