The science behind GLP-1 Medications
When you eat, your digestive system releases the GLP-1 hormone. One of its jobs is to tell your body to produce insulin, which reduces your blood sugar levels. High levels of GLP-1 reduces your appetite and makes you feel full.
GLP-1 medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone. Semaglutide and tirzepatide both mimic this body response, leading to a less hunger, a feeling of fullness. These conditions work together to help patients lose weight.
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in injectable weight-loss medication. It was FDA-approved in 2017 for Type 2 diabetes under the brand name Ozempic® and later found to be beneficial for weight loss. It was FDA-approved in 2021 for weight loss as Wegovy®, achieving an average of 15% weight loss. Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic® and Wegovy®, but the two are sometimes administered at different doses.
Semaglutide mimics a hormone known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which is naturally produced in your intestines. It sends signals to your brain to reduce hunger, slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, and encourages your pancreas to produce more insulin which helps lower your blood sugar levels. These effects work together to support weight loss.
Semaglutide has been observed to lead to weight loss of about 15%, with the weight loss being sustained. Health benefits associated with weight loss include improvements in energy, mood, and sleep, along with a reduction in heart disease, improvements in diabetes, blood sugar control, blood pressure control, cholesterol levels, kidney health, and fatty liver disease.
Side effects are typically mild and can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects usually subside within 2-3 weeks, with nausea being considered an “on target” side effect that helps reduce your caloric intake. Less common but more serious side effects can include allergic reactions, low blood sugar, kidney problems (especially if you are very dehydrated), gallstones and pancreatitis. Thyroid tumors or cancer has been observed in rodents, but not yet humans.
You should avoid semaglutide if any of the following conditions apply to you:
Semaglutide is injected under the skin either in the thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. Make sure you rotate the injection site each week. Semaglutide can be taken with or without food, at any time of day. You should take the injection consistently on the same day each week. If you need to adjust the day of injection, try to avoid injecting within two days of a prior injection. When you forget a dose, make sure to take it within five days of the expected injection day.
The standard, FDA-approved dosing schedule for semaglutide is:
Most patients start at the lowest dose in the first month, then steadily increase every month until you have found the right dose that fits your needs. 1.7 mg and 2.4 mg doses are considered maintenance doses.
You are not expected to make strict dietary changes during the plan, but most patients naturally consume fewer calories.
As constipation is a side effect to look out for, we recommend having a diet rich in fiber and drinking plenty of water, as doing so can minimize constipation.
We recommend you to exercise while on semaglutide, but it is not required. You may lose muscle mass while losing weight, and exercising regularly helps retain your muscle mass and fitness.
