Ozempic® (semaglutide) is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. More recently, it has gained attention for its effective weight loss properties. This guide from Revival Clinic covers the basics of using Ozempic for weight loss, including deficiency signs, benefits, recommended protocols, and the importance of timely treatment.
Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. By acting on receptors in these regions, Ozempic curbs appetite and promotes feelings of fullness. This allows people to reduce their calorie intake and lose weight safely and effectively.
Some of the major weight loss benefits of Ozempic treatment include:
Before considering Ozempic specifically for weight loss, it is important to have a full health evaluation. This helps determine if hormone imbalance or deficiency is contributing to the inability to lose weight.
Signs of possible growth hormone deficiency include:
Thyroid hormone deficiency can also cause weight gain and make weight loss extremely difficult. Symptoms include:
Diagnosing the root cause of weight gain through hormone testing allows personalized treatment recommendations for optimal results.
For those struggling with longstanding excess weight not relieved by diet and lifestyle measures alone, Ozempic may provide an effective medical weight loss solution.
Potential advantages of using semaglutide for weight loss include:
Rapid results - Average loss of 12-15% in under a year - Visible loss motivates patients to maintain protocol
Cardiometabolic protection - Drops in A1C, cholesterol, blood pressure - Reduces risk for heart attack, stroke, etc.
