WHO WE ARE
SIMPLE & AFFORDABLE
Medications like Semgalutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications called Glucagon-like Peptide Receptor Agonists. These medications mimic a hormone naturally found in the gut called Glucagon-like Peptide (GLP-1), which has many important functions for metabolic health. GLP-1 regulates blood sugar levels, promotes weight loss, and improves overall well-being. Tirzepatide is the first of its class to combine TWO hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which leads to even better and quicker results!
Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 weekly injection medication. Tirzepatide has been shown to provide better weight loss results than even Semaglutide.
It has two types of medications which are GLP-1 and a GIP (which is a second hormone). GIP has been shown to help the body break down sugar and fat. Tirzepatide is also known to have fewer side effects.
Tirzepatide will delay your gastric emptying, which will help you feel full longer. It will also suppress the hunger signals in your brain and enhance your body’s insulin secretion/sensitivity.
Tirzepatide will delay your gastric emptying, which will help you to feel full longer. It will also suppress the hunger signals to your brain and enhance insulin secretion/sensitivity. Tirzepatide can reduce your body weight by up to 22%.
As with losing weight, keeping extra weight off requires effort and commitment. It takes a combination of changes to diet, eating habits, and exercise to achieve weight loss goals.
At the time of your Weight Loss Consultation, we will discuss your health history, health goals as well as assessing your current weight, reviewing your BMI and possibly order labs in order to develop a weight loss plan that is the best fit for you. We will answer any questions that you may have about the medication or treatment plan and then your medication order will be placed. Your medication will arrive to your home 5 business days or less.
Most of our patients report noticeable results within 4 weeks of beginning treatment. We will review your progress and answer any questions that you may have so you can continue your weight loss journey.
Semaglutide is a weekly weight loss injection medication that fits in a family of medications called GLP-1. This is a class of drugs which mimic a hormone that helps reduce food intake and appetite. Semaglutide improves blood sugars and insulin secretion which aids in overall weight loss. Semaglutide also slows down the digestion of food which will help you stay full for longer. It is best to make changes with eating and exercise while taking this medication so that long term weight goals are reached. Patients will lose weight regardless of how they eat on this medication, but the goals are to make life style changes not bad habits.
One of the major benefits of Semaglutide is how it helps patients feel more full and will reduce cravings, making it easier to stick to a healthy and balanced diet while continuing your current exercise routine. This is because the GLP-1 will send a signal to your brain that your body has had enough to eat, which helps patients to be able to lose weight without feeling constantly hungry or deprived.
In addition to these appetite suppressing effects, Semaglutide has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, which is important for those who are overweight or obese and are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
