Obesity has emerged as a significant health challenge in the United States, reaching alarming proportions. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 42% of American adults were considered obese in 2017-2018. As the nation grapples with this growing health crisis, addressing the multifaceted factors contributing to obesity, from diet and physical activity to environmental influences, becomes increasingly critical. Finding effective strategies to combat this epidemic is not just a matter of health but also a vital social and economic imperative.

Semaglutide or Tirzeptatide for Weight Loss

What is Semaglutide and Tirzepatide: They are both medications that belongs to a class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. You may have heard of them before. They have been used to help treat type 2 diabetes under the name brand Ozempic/Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). The difference between the two is that semaglutide is made up of one peptide and tirzepatide uses two peptides (GLP-1 & GIP). GIP is another hormone that gets released when we eat. It seems to control our weight through receptors in the brain and fat cells. 

​

We do not prescribe Semaglutide and Tirzepatide under the brand name associated with weight loss. We use a compounded formula of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with L-carnitinine or Semaglutide with B12.

​

How It Works: Semaglutide works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, which helps in reducing food intake. It also promotes healthier eating patterns. 

​

Benefits:

• Blood Sugar Control: Semaglutide helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and reducing the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. This leads to improved glycemic control.

• Weight Loss: One of the remarkable benefits of Semaglutide is its significant impact on weight loss. Clinical trials have shown that it can lead to substantial reductions in body weight, making it a valuable tool for those struggling with obesity or excess weight.

• Appetite Control: Semaglutide can reduce feelings of hunger and increase the sensation of fullness, which can help individuals make healthier food choices and consume fewer calories.

• Cardiovascular Benefits: Some GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Semaglutide, have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits, reducing the risk of heart-related complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

• Lower Risk of Hypoglycemia: Unlike some other diabetes medications, Semaglutide is associated with a lower risk of causing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), making it a safer option for many patients.

• Potential to Improve Beta Cell Function: Semaglutide may help preserve or improve the function of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, which is crucial in the long-term management of type 2 diabetes.

• Overall Well-being: Better blood sugar control, weight loss, and reduced appetite can lead to improved quality of life and overall well-being for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Remember, your body is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to achieving your goals.
