Yep we've actually had that happen already. Happy to help if you'd like.
To reiterate thought: I have nothing against these programs, from the outside they look really solid & I overall really support the direction of treatment.
Understood. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to link to the articles which talk about this in more detail. Should probably have added a small paragraph which talked about the bio of it.
Good to hear you'll be talking about it your endocrinologist.
Couple things:
Injectable Semaglutide was first FDA approved in 2017 as Ozempic. Wegovy is also injectable Semaglutide. The key difference is the approved dose: Ozempic is 1.0mg, Wegovy is 2.4mg. The FDA approval is also very important for future insurance remibursement.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 RA. These medications stimulate a receptor in your body which results in three main effects: 1 - Slowing down gastric emptying so food stays in your stomach for longer (this is thought to be why there is sometimes nausea when starting the medication) 2 - Making you feel full by working on your central nervous system 3 - Managing glucose control (which is why it's used for people with diabetes too)
[1] gives you a great summary of the field up to now and how it works.
We're starting to do more research into hormone-based treatments. We definitely have hesitancy as hormone treatments are a bigger life decision, and telehealth regulation is murky. We'll look into it more.
