More about Wegovy
The way Wegovy works is by acting like a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Essentially, it imitates the effects of the GLP-1 hormone, which is naturally produced in our bodies and helps control our appetite and the amount of calories we eat. By taking Wegovy, the medication triggers the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which leads to feeling less hungry and eating fewer calories, aiding in weight loss.
