‍

Semaglutide therapy is an innovative, cutting-edge weight loss treatment offered at Wasatch Advanced Wellness. This injectable medication is prescribed to those who are overweight or obese and have been unable to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone. It has been clinically proven to help patients lose up to 10% of their body weight in just a few months.

Semaglutide works by stimulating the release of glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that helps reduce hunger and slow the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream. In addition, it helps regulate blood sugar levels while also increasing satiety so you can feel full longer after eating. GLP-1 can also help decrease the production of ghrelin, a hormone that increases hunger. By reducing the appetite along with regulating blood sugar levels, semaglutide can help you lose weight safely and effectively.

At Wasatch Advanced Wellness, our team is dedicated to providing the best possible treatment for each individual patient's needs. Our doctors are experienced in semaglutide therapy and have seen great results with their patients. We understand how difficult it can be to lose weight on your own and are here to provide support every step of the way.
