Semaglutide in Houston, tx
Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide
HOW IT WORKS?
Semaglutide is a weekly injectable drug that mimics the function of our body’s natural glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which regulates appetite within the brain. The process suppresses appetite and results in other benefits, such as increased insulin production, decreased blood sugar due to less sugar production in the liver, and improved anti-inflammation cardiovascular and metabolic health.
The FDA approves GLP-1 agonist medications like Semaglutide under various brand names (i.e., Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda) for weight management and obesity.
