Semaglutide is an injectable medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, as well as promote weight loss in overweight or obese adults. It works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation.
Semaglutide helps lower blood sugar in the following ways:
For weight loss, semaglutide also impacts areas of the brain involved in food motivation and reward. This leads to:
At Renewal Hormone Clinic, we offer compounded semaglutide tailored to each patient's individual needs. Our experienced medical team works closely with patients to determine the optimal dose and frequency to maximize health benefits while minimizing side effects.
Semaglutide has an excellent safety profile with mild side effects that often improve with time, such as temporary nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation. It does not increase risk of low blood sugar when used alone.

Many people suffer from "invisible illnesses"- where they don't feel well but lab tests and exams all come back normal. Feeling constantly tired, gaining weight, loss of motivation, mental fogginess and sexual problems often get brushed aside.
But these nonspecific complaints may signal an underlying hormone imbalance. Some signs of possible deficiency include:
Left ignored, hormone issues progress - leading to more doctor visits for confusing symptoms or misdiagnoses. Meanwhile, untreated deficiency increases risks for serious diseases like diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and certain cancers.
Thankfully treatment can stop and sometimes reverse deficiency once the root hormonal cause gets addressed. But the first step lies in listening to one's body followed by the right testing and diagnosis.
At Renewal Hormone Clinic, we dig deeper when ordinary evaluations come back normal - specializing in advanced hormone testing with leading-edge biomarkers. Combining diagnostic precision with decades of clinical expertise allows us to provide answers when others overlook subtle hormonal imbalances behind vague symptoms.
We partner with each patient, taking the needed time to uncover the unique hormonal fingerprint behind their issues. Then we develop tailored regimens using various hormone types and combinations including:
Balance gets restored in a safe, effective way - setting patients on the path towards reclaiming optimal wellness.
Being overweight brings increased risks for many health problems - including joint pain, fatty liver, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Fortunately, research shows that even modest weight loss of 5-10% creates meaningful benefits such as:
For years, options aimed at dropping pounds lacked long-term success for most people. Available medications came with bothersome side effects or very low odds of significant, lasting weight loss once discontinued.
Semaglutide offers new hope as clinical trials display unmatched effectiveness for weight reduction plus favorable safety and tolerability. Participants lost up to 15% of their total body weight over 68 weeks - results maintained even after stopping treatment in nearly 9 out of 10 people.
Let's discuss how semaglutide promotes weight loss and why it succeeds when other remedies fail.
This injectable medication activates areas of the brain involved with food motivation and intake control. It mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) normally released after eating.
Semaglutide impacts weight via multiple mechanisms including:
In contrast, older weight loss drugs solely blocked absorption of fat/calories taken in. Now semaglutide allows eating less to begin with - the more effective, health-conscious route for shedding pounds.
With superior efficacy plus an excellent safety profile, semaglutide offers a uniquely promising solution for significant, sustainable weight loss for the first time.
Semaglutide is a new type of injectable diabetes medication that not only helps control blood sugar levels, but has also shown promise for significant weight loss in clinical trials. In one study, people taking semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks compared to only 2.6% for those taking a placebo.
