Semaglutide works by mimicking a protein in your body called glucagon-like peptide 1, AKA GLP-1 - the same GLP-1 that keeps coming up all over the place lately, says Kunal Shah, an assistant professor in the division of endocrinology at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center
The most commonly reported effects include injection site reactions (redness, mild swelling, itching), joint pain or stiffness, numbness or tingling in the extremities (paresthesia), headaches, and mild fluid retention
Dont Skimp on Protein Whey, eggs, legumes, and grass-fed meats help stimulate GLP-1 release and promote satiety
