When injected subcutaneously, semaglutide works to mimic the GLP-1 hormone. Your body naturally produces this hormone to help control your appetite, telling your brain when you’re full. However, some conditions make it harder to produce this hormone, resulting in uncontrolled appetites.
By mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, semaglutide can help you manage your cravings and daily intake of food. Many of our dietary plans that we pair with this medication can then center around smaller, more frequent meals rather than larger, spaced-out portions. Once you visit our medical weight loss clinic in Sandy Springs, you can take control of your appetite and start on your journey toward weight loss.
