How does semaglutide help with weight loss?

Semaglutide is a type of weight loss medication that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Your provider can inject semaglutide to help you lose weight more effectively*. 

The medication works by increasing insulin production, a hormone that your pancreas creates to move glucose (blood sugar) into cells where it can be used for energy. 

If you’re struggling to achieve your goal weight, semaglutide injections can help support your weight loss efforts by improving your energy and increasing your feelings of fullness. 

Why do I need semaglutide injections?

Your weight loss goals may be difficult to achieve if physical activity and changing your diet aren’t enough to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. 

Though exercise and diet play an important role in your weight loss journey, there might also be other factors that affect your ability to achieve your desired physique. 

Common weight loss factors that cause obstacles include:

• Hormones
• Chronic health conditions
• Mental health conditions
• Certain medications
• Chronic stress
• Older age

Absolute Healthcare truly understands the difficulties you may experience when it comes to weight loss. They take a personalized approach to medical weight loss and semaglutide injections, considering all of the factors that make it hard to achieve significant weight loss. 

What are some benefits of semaglutide?

• A boost in your energy levels
