Semaglutide is an injectable medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is also approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.

Semaglutide is a new type of injectable diabetes medication that not only helps lower blood sugar levels, but may also aid modest weight loss by decreasing appetite. One unexpected effect seen in studies is that semaglutide users report improvements in their emotional well-being, with less depression and anxiety symptoms.
Hormones like insulin, cortisol and testosterone regulate vital processes like metabolism, reproduction and growth. When levels are too high or low, this can negatively impact:
Research shows even small hormonal imbalances, often missed on standard lab tests, substantially increase risks for weight gain along with other issues in adults:
Ignoring subtle hormone issues allows problems to persist, worsen over time, and potentially progress to full-blown disease down the road.
