Semaglutide is an innovative new glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist administered once-weekly via simple subcutaneous injection. As a follow-up to early GLP-1 drugs, semaglutide builds upon their success through superior efficacy and convenience.
Approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes by the FDA in 2017 and chronic weight management in 2021, patient demand for semaglutide is rapidly rising. However, myths and questions still remain. Below we clarify the top facts about semaglutide everyone should know:
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Semaglutide is "experimental" | With years of clinical trials and FDA approval, semaglutide is proven safe and effective |
| Results require intensive dieting | Patients see improvements with minimal or no dietary changes |
| It's only for diabetics | Semaglutide successfully treats obesity for non-diabetics too |
So how does semaglutide accomplish all this? Let's break it down step-by-step.
Semaglutide falls under a class of incretin mimetic hormones helping regulate glucose metabolism. Here's an overview of the key processes:
Once injected, semaglutide slows digestion allowing your body more time to utilize the calories from food rather than storing them as fat.
Semaglutide activates areas of your brain controlling food intake. This diminishes hunger AND cravings between meals. Patients often begin eating less without realizing it!
The pancreas produces more insulin, enabling your body to better utilize glucose for energy rather than fat storage.
Through this multi-targeted approach, semaglutide delivers exceptional health improvements from weight loss to glycemic control and more. Next, let's discuss the extensive benefits you can expect.
With wide therapeutic effects, semaglutide confers both cosmetic and medical advantages:
On average, patients shed 15-18% body weight over 16 months with minimal effort. Unlike crash dieting, semaglutide enables steady fat burning while retaining energy and muscle mass.
Via better glucose utilization, semaglutide lowers HbA1c by 1-2% for most diabetics. Many patients cut down or eliminate other medications under physician guidance.
Excess weight strains the entire body. By slimming down, semaglutide alleviates this pressure to boost cardiovascular and renal health.
As excess fat disappears, so does inflammation causing joint pain, fatigue, mood changes, and more. Patients often describe feeling "rejuvenated" on semaglutide with better mobility and vitality.
With all these perks, semaglutide vastly upgrades one's quality of life. Still, realizing these benefits requires close physician guidance as we'll explore next.
The first step to semaglutide success is bloodwork assessing your hormone levels, general health markers, and identifying any contraindications.
Once cleared, patients then begin with a low weekly dosage gradually increased over 5 weeks. This minimizes nausea and other side effects while the body adapts.
Followup bloodwork is repeated 1 and then 3 months later to confirm adequate dosing and monitor progress. Further dosage titrations or medication additions may be needed to optimize results.
Throughout treatment, patients require diet and exercise counseling to develop long-term sustainable lifestyle habits. Our physicians personalize these plans based on your food preferences and abilities.
With close medical guidance, patients can achieve amazing semaglutide outcomes. Just hear from actual Vibrance Health patients below!

If you are overweight or obese, have diabetes or prediabetes, and/or struggle losing excess fat through diet and exercise alone, semaglutide could greatly help. Our doctors will evaluate your health during a consultation to determine if you're a candidate.
Large clinical trials found semaglutide no less safe than other diabetes medications. Additionally, it does NOT increase thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, or other often-feared side effects. Like all drugs, though, benefits vs. potential risks should be weighed under medical care.
Most patients lose 15 to 22% of their body weight over 12 to 18 months. However, results vary based on dosage, adjunct diet/lifestyle changes, and other medications. Our physicians create fully customized plans optimized for your needs.
Unfortunately, the average provider lacks proper training in prescribing semaglutide, including dosage adjustments. Referral is required to endocrinology or weight loss specialists like those at Vibrance Health, optimizing safety and efficacy. Don't settle for subpar results - contact us today.
