Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. More recently, a higher dose formulation called Wegovy has been approved specifically for chronic weight management in obese adults.
As an injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1. This helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Specifically for weight loss, it suppresses appetite and food cravings, leading to reduced calorie intake and significant fat burning effects.
There are many potential benefits of using semaglutide for weight loss, including:
- On average, semaglutide users lose 15-20% of their body weight over 12-24 months - This amounts to a loss of 30-50 lbs or more for many obese patients - The fat loss occurs steadily thanks to the appetite suppressing and calorie burning effects
- Weight loss leads to better cardiovascular health with lower blood pressure and cholesterol - It also helps prevent or manage chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome - Joint and musculoskeletal pain is often reduced as weight comes off
- Losing a large amount of weight can provide a big mental health and self-confidence boost - This leads to increased happiness, positive body image, and often improved relationships and social life
Semaglutide has been clinically proven effective for weight loss in adults who meet the following criteria:
- A BMI over 30 (or over 27 with weight-related health issues)
- Previous struggles losing and keeping weight off with diet, exercise or other weight loss medications
- Motivation to adopt healthier eating and increased activity habits to maximize semaglutide's effects

Semaglutide was originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, but researchers unexpectedly found it also caused significant weight loss as a side effect. Further studies showed that non-diabetic obese people taking semaglutide lost on average 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks compared to placebo.
Alongside semaglutide injections, we dig deeper to identify any hormone deficiencies that may be exacerbating stubborn weight gain. Common issues include:
* Symptoms: low libido, fatigue, muscle loss, mood changes * Causes metabolic slowdown making weight loss extra difficult * Testosterone therapy can help boost metabolism & energy
* Excess estrogen levels in men lead to weight gain * Causes fluid retention, fat storage, and digestive issues * Aromatase inhibitors help rebalance hormones
* Sluggish thyroid hormone slows metabolism significantly * Leads to fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, even with dieting * Thyroid meds like T3 or natural dessicated thyroid bring levels up
