Weight Loss Programs
with Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
Understanding Semaglutide (GLP-1)
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. It is an FDA-approved treatment used in once-weekly injections to aid in weight loss and control blood sugar levels. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, Semaglutide mimics the incretin hormones in your body, which play a crucial role in appetite and digestion. After eating, these hormones trigger insulin release and slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach, helping to lower your appetite and facilitate weight loss.
What is Tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP)?
Tirzepatide is a revolutionary medication that activates the body’s receptors for both GLP-1 and GIP, which are natural incretin hormones involved in appetite regulation. Studies, including the SURMOUNT-2 Clinical Trial, have shown that Tirzepatide can significantly reduce body weight by an average of 15.7%. It has also been studied for its potential benefits in managing obesity, type II diabetes, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and overall morbidity and mortality in obesity.

Expectations During Treatment
During your treatment, it is essential to understand what to expect and how to maximize your results:
Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, injection site irritation, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. These are typically mild and manageable.
Caloric Intake and Muscle Loss: Reduced caloric intake can lead to muscle loss. To counter this, focus on quality protein intake and engage in goal-oriented physical activity to improve body composition.
Quality of Food Intake: Since these peptides mainly reduce metabolic input, the quality of your food intake becomes paramount. Opt for nutrient-dense foods to ensure you’re getting the best possible nutrition.
