GLP-1 medications like semaglutide work by mimicking the action of the GLP-1 hormone, a type of incretin hormone that is produced in the gut and helps stimulate insulin secretion after you eat
These include: Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis): This severe side effect, leading to delayed stomach emptying, causes nausea, vomiting, and intense abdominal pain
A prospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted in more than 40,000 Chinese adults with knee osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes mellitus [22]
Noom, Ro, and other platforms have built specific microdosing protocols with medical oversight
They: Slow gastric emptying, which can help you feel fuller longer Increase the release of insulin when sugar is present, which can help ward off spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels Suppress glucagon secretion, which in turn reduces liver glucose output Stimulate glucose uptake into cells and increase glucose uptake and storage in muscles so you have energy at the ready Increase proliferation of the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin, which boosts the availability of blood-sugar-modulating insulin Decrease hunger through multiple pathways in the brain, including a quieting of food noise that can reduce the drive to binge eat or seek emotional comfort in food Taken together, these actions often add up to rapid and significant weight loss
Please be sure to adjust based on your personal needs, preferences, allergies, etc
