Hunger pangs can make extended diets nearly impossible

Weight loss can only occur through a calorie deficit, where you consume fewer calories than your body needs. However, maintaining a calorie deficit for extended periods is nearly impossible due to the body's natural resistance. As you reduce calorie intake, your body fights back by increasing hunger pangs and slowing metabolism to conserve energy. This biological response makes sustained weight loss efforts challenging and often frustrating. Medications like Semaglutide allow us to suppress these hunger pangs to promote sustainable weight loss.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a groundbreaking medication designed to aid weight loss. Originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, it has shown remarkable effectiveness in promoting significant weight reduction. Administered as a weekly injection, Semaglutide mimics the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. By enhancing feelings of fullness and reducing hunger, it helps you maintain a calorie deficit more easily, supporting long-term weight loss goals. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer Semaglutide in Yakima to help you achieve and, more importantly, maintain your ideal weight.

Benefits of Semaglutide:

  • Helps achieve up to 15% loss of total body weight
  • Reduces hunger and enhances feelings of fullness
  • Administered as a convenient once-weekly injection
  • Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, it also offers metabolic benefits
  • Supports sustainable weight loss with proper lifestyle changes
  • Backed by extensive research and clinical trials
  • Available as part of a holistic weight loss program at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide promotes weight loss by mimicking the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which is naturally produced in the intestines. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and food intake. When you take Semaglutide, it binds to GLP-1 receptors in the brain, specifically in areas responsible for appetite control. This activation helps reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to lower overall calorie consumption.

Additionally, Semaglutide slows gastric emptying, meaning food stays in your stomach longer, further enhancing satiety. This delay in digestion helps prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, promoting more stable glucose control. By combining these mechanisms, Semaglutide not only helps you eat less but also supports better metabolic health.

How do I inject Semaglutide?

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Yakima, we prescribe Semaglutide as a convenient once-weekly injection after a thorough evaluation to determine your candidacy. To use it, you inject the prescribed dosage under the skin of your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm using a pre-filled pen. Our team will provide detailed instructions and demonstrate the injection process during your appointment. The dosage will be tailored to your specific needs and adjusted over time, ensuring optimal results and minimal side effects.

The ideal candidates for Semaglutide:

  • Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30.
  • Those with a BMI over 27 who have prediabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
  • Individuals who find it difficult to control hunger and food intake.
  • Those who have not achieved significant weight loss through diet and exercise alone.
  • Individuals willing to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
  • Patients without specific health conditions that contraindicate the use of Semaglutide, as assessed by our medical team.

How much weight can you lose?
