Semaglutide

Shedding pounds? Journey to wellness.


Semaglutide is a medication used primarily for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for weight management in individuals with obesity or overweight conditions in the context of at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as hypertension or dyslipidemia. It works by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1 that is released after eating, thereby increasing insulin secretion, decreasing sugar production in the liver, and suppressing appetite. Semaglutide is administered via injection under the skin and, for weight management, it's often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise. Due to its effects on blood sugar and body weight, it has become a significant tool in managing type 2 diabetes and assisting in weight loss efforts. 


Mahalo enables you to consult with healthcare providers about the suitability of Semaglutide for your condition. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your medical history, current health status, and treatment goals to determine if Semaglutide could be an appropriate option for you, all from the privacy and convenience of your home.

Precautions


  • Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. These foods are typically lower in calories and higher in fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied.
  • Monitor portion sizes to ensure you're not overeating. Use smaller plates, measure serving sizes, and be mindful of portion sizes when eating out.
  • Limit or avoid highly processed foods, sugary beverages, and snacks high in added sugars and unhealthy fats, as these can contribute to weight gain.
