How Semaglutide Actually Works and Why It Is Not the Easy Way Out
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a gut hormone the body already produces. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite signals in the brain, and improves insulin sensitivity. It is injected once weekly and titrated over 16 to 20 weeks. Average weight loss in clinical trials is 15% of body weight. Optimal results may take up to three months.
