How does semaglutide help with weight loss?

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Step 1

SEMAGLUTIDE IS A GLP-1 (GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1) RECEPTOR ACTIVATOR

This medication mimics the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. With weekly use, Semaglutide also reduces glucagon levels, helping to curb feelings of hunger. Additionally, it slows gastric emptying, allowing you to feel fuller for longer after meals.

Step 2

EXERCISE COMBINED WITH SEMAGLUTIDE INJECTIONS LED TO AN AVERAGE REDUCTION IN BODY WEIGHTA recent study including 1,961 participants with a BMI over 30 and no diabetes found that Semaglutide injections combined with exercise resulted in an average weight loss of 14.9% over 68 weeks. In comparison, the placebo group saw an average weight reduction of just 2.4%.

Step 3

SEMAGLUTIDE RESULTED IN EVEN GREATER WEIGHT LOSSAnother study demonstrated that when combined with behavioral therapy and a low-calorie diet, Semaglutide led to even greater weight loss. This therapy is often prescribed for men and women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or above who also have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or other conditions that make weight loss more difficult.

Everything you need to know frequently asked questions

Who is eligible to take Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription medication designed for people managing specific health concerns, including type 2 diabetes and obesity. For adults with type 2 diabetes who struggle to control blood sugar through diet, exercise, or other treatments, it provides a valuable option for better glucose regulation. It is also approved for weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27+ with weight-related conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or elevated cholesterol. Semaglutide should always be used under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. At Men’s Health Cerritos, our experts carefully review each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and health goals to create a customized treatment plan with the right dosage for their unique needs.
How does Semaglutide function?
Semaglutide functions by imitating the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. By targeting GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, it enhances insulin production, allowing the body’s cells to absorb glucose and convert it into energy. At the same time, it suppresses glucagon, the hormone responsible for raising blood sugar. Semaglutide also slows the emptying of the stomach, which helps curb appetite and control food intake. These combined actions help maintain stable blood sugar while supporting weight loss, making it an effective option for adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity. Delivered as a weekly injection, Semaglutide is most effective when paired with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
What amount of weight loss is possible with Semaglutide?
The amount of weight loss from Semaglutide varies from person to person and depends on factors such as initial body weight, diet, exercise routines, overall health, and consistency with treatment. Research shows that individuals using Semaglutide for weight management can achieve notable results, often losing an average of 15–20% of their starting body weight over several months. Outcomes differ, with some patients seeing quicker progress while others experience gradual changes. Long-term success is typically supported by maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, including balanced nutrition and regular physical activity.
What are the uses of Semaglutide?
Semaglutide serves two main purposes: managing type 2 diabetes and supporting weight loss. For diabetes, it helps regulate blood sugar by increasing insulin production and reducing glucagon levels. For weight management, higher doses assist in fat reduction by curbing appetite, slowing stomach emptying, and promoting a feeling of fullness, which reduces overall calorie intake. When incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan under professional guidance, Semaglutide can effectively address both conditions.
How much time does Semaglutide take to show results?
The effects of Semaglutide vary from person to person. Some individuals may see improvements in blood sugar control within days or weeks, while visible weight loss, particularly in those who are obese, may take several weeks to months. Research indicates that significant reductions in weight are often noticeable within 12 to 16 weeks of starting treatment. Results depend on factors such as diet, physical activity, overall health, and adherence to the prescribed plan. Regular monitoring and following professional guidance are essential to achieve safe and effective outcomes.
What is the recommended dosage of Semaglutide for me?

Semaglutide must be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional who sets the appropriate dosage and schedule based on your individual health needs. Following the guidance of your Men’s Health Clinic Cerritos specialist is essential, and using Semaglutide injections exactly as instructed ensures both safety and the best possible results throughout your treatment.

I had an amazing experience at Gameday Men’s Health Cerritos. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt more like a high-end lounge than a clinic-comfortable, clean, and made just for guys. The staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. Simon took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel heard from the start. The clinic director Vic was on-site and walked me through my bloodwork results in a way that actually made sense. No pressure, no sales pitch-just honest care. I came in thinking I was “fine,” but left with a clear plan to start feeling like myself again. Highly recommend this place if you’re serious about your health and want real answers.

Nicole is super helpful at the front desk, and Lynn is a superhero! Simon, the owner, is always there and is always checking in on me to make sure everything is going well. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! 10/10
