Read More »The long-awaited approval of semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly injection for weight loss has been considered a “game-changer” by obesity experts. At Atlanta Endocrine Associates, Dr. Scott Isaacs offers accurate diagnosis and state-of-the-art weight management. To learn more, contact the office in Atlanta, Georgia or request an appointment online. This is because the weight loss in clinical trials is far superior to any other weight loss medication. Semaglutide is a second-generation injectable medication, which will eventually replace the first-generation liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza). Semaglutide has been approved as Ozempic and Rybelsus to treat diabetes. The difference is the dose for weight loss is more than double the dose for diabetes. In my experience, most patients do not lose much weight with the oral version, Rybelsus which is more of a niche drug for diabetics who can’t take injections. Being sold under the name wegovy (pronounced wee-GOH'-vee), many have already noticed the subliminal messaging in the name and use of all lowercase, i.e., we go the way of a smaller person. Weight loss results with semaglutide 2.4 mg are superior to other pharmaceuticals, averaging 15% weight loss, about 35 pounds. But many patients lose much more than the average, with some achieving results comparable to bariatric surgery. Body weight is tightly regulated by hormones that act primarily in the hypothalamus. Semaglutide is a long-acting synthetic version of a hormone known as glucagon-like peptide- 1 (GLP-1) agonist that works by making you feel full. Reducing body weight triggers adaptive mechanisms to prevent starvation. Even when someone is overweight, the body perceives weight loss as starvation and vigorously defends against weight loss as a survival mechanism. Decreased GLP-1 levels are part of this human adaptive response to weight loss. Lower GLP-1 means increased hunger and weight regain. This is a normal human biology. In the end biology always wins out over willpower, so with even the best intentions, the weight is regained. But semaglutide (and its predecessor liraglutide, aka Saxenda and Victoza) fight biology with biology, not willpower. Semaglutide works especially well because it is very long-acting synthetic version of GLP-1 with powerful effects on appetite, satiety, and satiation. Finally, we have a medication that effectively addresses the biological hormonal adaptations that occur with weight loss. No one disputes the importance of a healthy lifestyle and behavior modification that is necessary for successful weight loss. But, when you have a medication that is effective enough to combat the biological changes that occur with weight loss, you do not have to work so hard with behavioral modification, it just comes naturally.
