Here at WHOLEhealth MHK, we focus on the root cause. The root cause for many chronic diseases stems from obesity. These can include:

• Endocrine/hormone disorders to include Insulin Resistance, a precursor for Type 2 Diabetes
• Sleep apnea
• Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression
• Back and joint pain
• Dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease

The first step to the prevention of chronic disease is to lose weight. 

Some chronic diseases can also be reversed by losing weight.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a peptide that mimics a naturally occurring peptide in the body. Called GLP-1, or glucagon-like-peptide. It reduces appetite. It helps with blood sugar regulation and activates specific metabolic pathways in the body which increases blood sugar metabolism and reduces hunger.

Semaglutide, marketed under such brand names as Ozempic®, and Wegovy®, was FDA-approved to treat Type 2 Diabetes in 2017. Further studies and research showed that Semaglutide is also suitable for weight loss. In June 2021, the FDA approved Semaglutide to help people lose weight. 

Benefits:

The biggest benefit of Semaglutide is that you will feel full for longer periods of time. It also keeps your body in fat-burning mode. The medication regulates blood sugar and targets fat cells. 

As you proceed with your weight loss journey, you will automatically start to develop healthier eating habits that can last a lifetime.

The Semaglutide weight loss program promotes gradual and sustainable weight loss, helping individuals maintain their results over time. Because Semaglutide reduces feelings of hunger, you eat less food. When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, Semaglutide will help you lose weight. There is ongoing research indicating there is potential heart and brain protection, addiction control and possible effects on mood (improved mood!)
