At Women’s Wellness Institute of Dallas, we offer a groundbreaking weight loss treatment with semaglutide, designed to help women of all shapes, sizes, and ages achieve their goals.
What Is the Science Behind Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a peptide that aids in weight loss by replicating the effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). GLP-1, a hormone released in the gut after eating, triggers the body to produce insulin and reduce blood sugar levels. By binding to the GLP-1 receptor and stimulating insulin production, semaglutide effectively mimics the actions of GLP-1.
Here are some areas where this can be beneficial:
- Curbing your appetite and reducing cravings
- Decreasing your preference for fatty foods
- Slowing down digestion so you feel fuller after eating
Does Semaglutide Work for Weight Loss?
A recent study in 2022 found that a significant majority of participants who took semaglutide experienced a notable reduction in their baseline weight compared to those who were given a placebo. In comparison to the placebo, semaglutide increased the likelihood that individuals would lose 10%,15%, or 20% of their starting weight.
Other studies have also found comparable findings:
- After 68 weeks, a significant number of participants who took semaglutide experienced substantial weight loss. Approximately half of the participants lost 15% of their body weight, while nearly a third achieved an impressive 20% weight loss.
- On average, individuals who receive weekly semaglutide injections experience a weight loss of approximately 15 pounds after three months.
- Individuals who use semaglutide injections once weekly for six months typically have a weight loss of approximately 27 pounds.
- During extensive clinical trials, it was observed that patients who were administered 2.4 mg of semaglutide experienced a significant reduction in weight. By week 12, they lost an average of 6% of their weight; by week 28, the weight loss increased to 12%.
