Conclusions Following the initiation of semaglutide, other GLP-1 agonists, or GLP-1/GIP dual agonists, practitioners should be aware of the potential severe complications, such as colonic ischemia, and properly educate their patients about these risks
This happens because semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors in your brain's appetite control centers, slowing gastric emptying and signaling satiety to your central nervous system
These findings suggest an overall improvement in the lipoprotein profile associated with atherogenic risk
Even with all my training and all the weight-loss strategies at my fingertips, staying consistent felt like an uphill battle
Semaglutide and tirzepatide both reduce appetite and slow gastric emptying, but they differ in dosing, clinical weight loss averages, and side effect profiles
