What is Semaglutide and how does it help with Weight Loss?
How does Semaglutide work?
Semaglutide is a medication that replicates the sensation of being full, leading to a decrease in calorie intake. By reducing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, Semaglutide also slows down the rate at which the stomach empties. This delay in gastric emptying can have several beneficial effects, such as reducing appetite, enhancing control over eating habits, and minimizing food cravings.
At Cavora Mind & Wellness, we offer a variety of options for weight loss treatment in Chatham, NJ.
Are you a candidate for Semaglutide?
There are two qualifications for Semaglutide:
- A BMI over 30 and no weight-related complications
- A BMI over 27 with weight-related complications
Why is the weight loss goal 10%? What if I want to lose more weight?
The weight loss goal is backed by extensive clinical research, which has shown that losing 10% of your body weight and maintaining that loss can be achieved with the combination of an FDA-approved metabolic medication and accountability coaching. While many patients may experience even greater weight loss, the target of 10% is specifically chosen because it leads to significant improvements in various metabolic and inflammatory markers.
Research has demonstrated that a 10% reduction in body weight can have substantial benefits for cardiovascular health, such as lowering high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and reducing the risk of developing diabetes. Furthermore, a 10% weight loss has been proven to alleviate symptoms associated with depression, arthritis, and sleep apnea while enhancing overall quality of life. Importantly, studies indicate that losing 10% of one’s body weight is both realistic and attainable for most individuals taking into account biological factors along with genetic predispositions and environmental influences.
