INSIGHT

How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that mimics an incretin hormone to signal satiety to the brain.
It raises insulin and reduces appetite by acting on the hypothalamus, producing strong appetite suppression.

INSIGHT

Why GLP-1 Drugs Help Weight Loss

GLP-1 drugs increase insulin secretion, lowering blood sugar and reducing glycation-related damage.
Their weight-loss effect stems mainly from increased satiety and reduced calorie intake, not from insulin itself.

INSIGHT

Clinical Weight Loss Results

A New England Journal of Medicine trial showed semaglutide plus lifestyle changes produced ~15% weight loss over 68 weeks.
The lifestyle-only group lost about 2.5%, demonstrating a large drug-associated effect when combined with behavior change.
