Weight Loss Peptide Semaglutide
Control cravings and reduce your appetite to achieve significant weight loss with the newest Semaglutide (GLP-1) prescription peptide for weight management.
Why Semaglutide?
Excess weight is largely a result of eating habits. With busy lifestyles, everyday stress, and our modern food supply; not to mention hormones and genetics, it seems we are set up to fail.
What is Semaglutide?
This under-the-skin injection is the first approved drug for chronic weight management in adults with general obesity and/or are overweight.
What are the Benefits of Semaglutide?
It helps control appetite and cravings, setting you up for success. Benefits vary, but you may experience weight loss, improved fertility, smoking cessation, cardiovascular benefits, and neuroprotective treatment of PCOS.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for Semaglutide?
To qualify for semaglutide for weight loss, individuals should generally have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Before starting semaglutide, a thorough medical evaluation is conducted to assess your overall health, including a review of medical history, current medications, and any potential risks or contraindications for semaglutide treatment. It is also important for individuals to have realistic weight loss goals and be committed to making lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity, to achieve long-term weight management success with semaglutide treatment. Additionally, individuals who are allergic to semaglutide or any of its components, or those with(or blood relative) certain medical conditions such as type 1 diabetes, pancreatic cancer, a history of medullary thyroid cancer, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis
or decreased kidney functioning, may not be eligible to use semaglutide for weight loss.
How Does Light Therapy Help with Weight Loss?
Light therapy is known by many names. The formal scientific name is photobiomodulation (previously known as LLLT). Other names include LED therapy, red light therapy, infrared light therapy, LED phototherapy, low level laser therapy, low level light therapy, laser therapy, cold laser, and more.
This type of health therapy is not new, and is in fact well established for treating various health issues. However its use for weight loss and fat loss specifically is new, with most research being done in the last 20 years. It involves the application of certain wavelengths of red and near infrared light to the body. You just shine the light from a suitable LED light source onto your skin.
The success of this type of therapy on fat relates to the absorption of laser light into the adipocytes, which leads to increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate production, a type of cell signal or messenger. This then stimulates an enzyme called cytoplasmic lipase, which converts triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol. These substances can pass through pores, causing the adipocytes to shrink.
These wavelengths of light from 600-1000nm have direct effects on the metabolism of the body by interacting with the energy producing parts of our cells. As energy intake and output are inextricably linked to weight management, the link is clear.
Bioenergetics
The mechanism of red light therapy for weight loss is quite simple – it increases metabolic rate. As mentioned in our descriptions of red and infrared light, light therapy stimulates our mitochondria (the cell’s power source) to increase glucose oxidation.
This is because light between 600nm and 1000nm stimulates a key copper enzyme in our cells. This inevitably results in more ATP, or cellular energy, being produced.
More glucose burned efficiently means less stress, and healthier cells, which results in a stronger metabolic rate – ultimately leading to fat loss. This effect can be seen in muscle tissue, as well as fat.
