| Episode 145- HOT TOPIC! Facts You Need to Know About OZEMPIC and Semaglutide | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:47:22 | |
Semaglutide peptides stimulate the body to produce the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, GLP-1. GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the body with the purpose of releasing insulin as a response to glucose and suppresses food consumption by slowly emptying the stomach. Recently, Semaglutide peptides have received an immense amount of attention due to their promises of weight loss and blood sugar balancing properties. In this episode, I discuss the scientific studies behind GLP-1 agonist medications and my discernment for my students who are considering Ozempic or Wegovy. [1:19]- What are Semaglutide peptides?
