Semaglutide is a medication that helps your body naturally control hunger and stabilize appetite.
It’s part of a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which means it works by copying the action of a hormone your body already makes.
What semaglutide does inside your body
Semaglutide helps with weight loss by:
Reducing your appetite: you feel full sooner
Lowering cravings: especially for snacks or late-night eating
Slowing down digestion: meals keep you fuller for longer
Improving insulin response: leads to more stable blood sugar and fewer energy crashes
Calming “food noise”: many patients say they finally stop thinking about food all day
It’s not a stimulant. It doesn’t speed up your heart or make you jittery.
It simply gives your brain and stomach a better ability to regulate appetite and portion sizes.
What results can you expect
Semaglutide has been shown to help most patients lose:
10–15% of their total body weight over 6–12 months
Your exact results depend on:
Your dose
How consistent you are
Your body’s metabolism
Lifestyle habits (sleep, hydration, eating speed, etc.)
The weight loss happens gradually and steadily, which is healthier and easier to maintain long-term.
How you take semaglutide
You’ll take semaglutide once a week using a very small needle.
The injection goes just under the skin (belly, thigh, or arm).
Most patients say:
“It felt like a tiny pinch.”
“Much easier than a vaccine.”
“I didn’t feel anything at all.”
You’ll get step-by-step instructions from the Mevo Health team.
Why many patients love semaglutide
Patients often describe semaglutide as:
“Quieting my appetite for the first time in years”
“Helping me feel in control of food—not the other way around”
“Making healthy choices surprisingly easy”
While it’s a powerful medication, the goal is to support sustainable, long-term change, not crash dieting.
