Semaglutide is an injectable medication that has been making waves recently as a highly effective treatment option for weight loss and appetite control. At Vital Hormone Clinic, we specialize in providing compounded semaglutide injections to help patients achieve their health and weight loss goals.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high.
However, semaglutide was noted to have powerful appetite suppressing and weight loss effects in diabetes clinical trials. This has led to its growing use “off-label” specifically for encouraging weight loss and controlling hunger and cravings.
Today, semaglutide is one of the most effective medications available for supporting weight management, far superior to anything else on the market.
There are many great reasons to consider incorporating semaglutide injections as part of your weight loss plan:
In clinical trials, semaglutide has been shown to lead to average weight loss of 15% or more when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. No other medication comes close in terms of efficacy for weight loss.
One of the ways semaglutide promotes weight loss is by suppressing appetite. People using the medication often report feeling much less hungry, leading to reduced overall calorie intake.
Semaglutide doesn’t just lead to water weight fluctuations – clinical studies show people primarily lose fat mass, not muscle. For many, this means better body composition and noticeable inch loss around the waist and other areas.
In addition to the weight effects, semaglutide has also been shown to improve risk factors for heart disease and stroke, including reductions in blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar levels.
Semaglutide works via several mechanisms to encourage appetite suppression, caloric deficit, and weight loss:
By slowing the emptying of the stomach, semaglutide helps promote longer periods of satiety and suppresses appetite between meals. People also report feeling fuller faster when eating.
The drug stimulates areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake, primarily through its effects on two key appetite hormones, GLP-1 and leptin. This leads to feeling less hungry overall.
The stimulation of insulin works synergistically with the appetite effects to lower blood sugar. This further decreases hunger and reduces fat storage from circulating blood sugars.
By stimulating GLP-1 and other hormones, semaglutide shifts the body towards utilizing stored body fat as an energy source as opposed to primarily relying on carbohydrates.

Maintaining proper hormone balance is essential for overall good health. However, many people struggle with some type of hormone deficiency or imbalance and don’t even realize it.
Common symptoms that may indicate the need for hormone optimization include: fatigue, weight gain, low libido, mood issues, sleep problems, and more.
Getting tested for hormone imbalances and following through with treatment when deficiencies are found is key to feeling your best and reducing risk for chronic diseases down the line.
Timely hormone treatment allows the body to function optimally. The medical providers at Vital Hormone Clinic specialize in testing, detection, and correction of hormone imbalances through cutting edge therapies like peptide injections, bioidentical hormones, thyroid medications, and nutritional therapies.
