What is semaglutide? Semaglutide belongs to a drug class called GLP-1 receptor agonists, glucagon-like peptide. Our body’s naturally release this hormone after a meal. The process in which GLP-1s are received by different organs in our body play a large role in weight loss. In the pancreas, semaglutide affects insulin production and helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Semaglutide also works as an appetite suppressant by slowing down the passage of food, which helps our bodies stay full after a meal for a longer period of time. Semaglutide also works in the brain to modulate hunger levels. It has also been shown to impact metabolic health by increasing the breakdown of fat stores for energy. Semaglutide also works in the liver to optimize blood sugar levels.
GLP-1s work best when combined with regular exercise and a healthy diet. Avoiding foods high in calories, sugar, and unhealthy fats will optimize weight loss goals while taking semaglutide.
