Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that can help individuals with obesity or overweight achieve significant and sustained weight loss when combined with increased physical activity and caloric restriction. It works by controlling appetite, reducing hunger, and slowing digestion, keeping people feeling full for longer after eating.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It mimics the effects of GLP-1, a hormone released from the gut after eating, which signals:
This leads to decreased hunger, increased feelings of fullness, better blood sugar control, and ultimately, weight loss over time.

People struggling with obesity often experience extreme hunger, food cravings, portion distortion, fatigue, and low satisfaction despite overeating. Difficulty losing or keeping off weight after repeated attempts is also a red flag for an underlying hormone problem.
