The Popularity and Effectiveness of Semaglutide and GLP-1 Medications

The rapid rise in popularity of semaglutide, GLP-1 medications, like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, which were originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes, but are now approved as anti-obesity medications since 2021, is no surprise. These GLP-1 medications work to support weight loss in a number of ways such as:

1. Appetite Control: Semaglutide helps reduce appetite by acting on the brain's appetite centers. It promotes satiety, which leads to a decreased sense of hunger and a reduced desire to eat.
2. Slowing Gastric Emptying: Semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, which can result in a feeling of fullness and reduced food intake.
3. Regulation of Reward Pathways: The medication may influence the brain's reward pathways, decreasing the pleasure associated with food and leading to a reduced desire for high-calorie or unhealthy foods.
4. Energy Balance: Semaglutide is thought to affect the body's energy balance by increasing energy expenditure and reducing the production of fat. This can contribute to weight loss over time.

Despite their effectiveness and the immense popularity of these medications, research has already shown that as soon as the medications are stopped, participants experience weight regain and metabolic dysfunction returns when nutritional and lifestyle interventions are absent.

There is no debate that successful, sustainable weight loss can be achieved with GLP-1 medications but ONLY in conjunction with sufficient nutritional and lifestyle interventions.
