Semaglutide
The Science:
Semaglutide is a Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonist, FDA approved once weekly injectable medication for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity. This hormone helps the pancreas release insulin which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin is an essential hormone and plays several roles in the body’s metabolism, regulating how the body uses and stores sugar (glucose) & fat. Its primary purpose to help the body use glucose for energy.
When the body cannot process insulin correctly, more is produced to offset the rise in blood sugar. This leads to storage of body fat & decreased fat burning. Stored glucose is primarily stored in your liver and muscles. GLP-1 uniquely inhibits glucagon release while also stimulating insulin production working together to reduce blood sugar levels. In addition, it also works by inhibiting gastric emptying, thus increasing the feeling of fullness after food intake.
Quick Facts
- Semaglutide acts at the stomach & brain to make you feel full without eating as much.
- Once weekly injection that mimics the hormone GLP-1, which our bodies make naturally, allows for weight loss without feeling hungry.
- While there is no particular diet to follow, and exercise isn’t necessary in order to have success; a sensible diet & exercise make the medication far more effective.
- Ultimately, this medication helps achieve weight loss by reducing blood sugar levels, reversing IR (insulin resistance), & increasing the time it takes for your stomach to empty food, helping you feel fuller for longer periods of time resulting in a decreased appetite.
Side Effects
- Many patients experience little to no side effects at all.
- Those that do, may experience: nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, and upset stomach.
- Our patients will be provided with any needed prescriptions or OTC recommendations to help manage any SEs you may experience.
- Your provider is here to help with this should it occur. Side effects will improve with time.
Dosing:
It is recommended to start on the lowest dose and increase the dose every 4 weeks until reaching the max. dose.
Not all patients will need the maximum dose.
Your provider will help determine your effective dose. Dosing starts at 0.25mg and will increase as tolerated to: 0.5mg, 1 mg, 1.7mg & finally 2.4 mg.

Healthy eating habits 101
Now that you have a plan in place and accountability with your provider, begin with just a few simple steps:
- Eat plenty of protein! This is important while on Semaglutide to help preserve your muscle mass.
- Be sure your meals are balanced – protein, veggies, carbs (are ok, but keep these in smaller quantities – it’ll be easier as you begin maintenance.)
- Snack on healthy foods – fruit, nuts, etc.
- Drink plenty of water.
