For generations, people have struggled to lose weight. It has always been thought that diet and exercise were the only way to achieve weight loss.
In recent years, new medical strategies have been developed to help in the weight loss process. One such strategy is the use of the injectable drug semaglutide which can be found under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsis.
Semaglutide tricks the body into increasing its insulin output, while at the same time decreasing the appetite. It was originally a diabetes medication but has since been used as a weight loss drug for people with and without diabetes.
Increasing the amount of insulin in the bloodstream and also reducing your appetite can result in weight loss.
Those who have gotten semaglutide injections have reported losing approximately 20% of their total body weight. So, if you are 200 lbs, that would mean losing 40 lbs.
Semaglutide is for anyone struggling with diabetes and anyone looking to lose weight. It can also be for those who have conditions that are related to being overweight such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
In many cases, conditions that are caused or exaggerated by being overweight can be alleviated or even reversed by losing weight. So for some, taking semaglutide could be life-changing.
Compared to other weight loss medications and procedures, semaglutide’s side effects are very minimal. The side effects can include dizziness, fatigue, headaches, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, and general gassiness.
Semaglutide can currently only be obtained through a prescription. At Rejuvalife Vitality Institute, Dr. Berger prescribes and administers the treatment to those who qualify as good candidates every day.
Rejuvalife Vitality Institute also offers several other medical cosmetic and surgical solutions such as facial rejuvenation, body sculpting, and non-surgical options for issues related to the aging process.
