Semaglutide

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes under the brand name Ozempic/Wegovy. However, it has been found to be highly effective in promoting medical weight loss as well. Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion, and suppresses appetite—making it a powerful tool for individuals struggling with weight loss.
