What are GLP-1s?

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both FDA-approved GLP-1 agonist medications that have been proven effective in treating obesity and promoting dramatic weight loss. These once-weekly injections can lead to weight loss results of over 50 pounds in just 6 months, with no need for drastic changes in diet or lifestyle. When combined with a customized low-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise plan, these medications have been shown to produce significant improvements in health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. While both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are GLP-1 agonists, Tirzepatide has enhanced effects as a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist, which can produce even more impressive weight loss results.

YOUR CUSTOMIZED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

In either of our Semaglutide or Tirzepatide weight loss programs, you will be closely monitored by our practitioner who can help you determine what dosage is right for you. Since you are being closely monitored on a weekly basis, our practitioner can make adjustments to your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide dose on an as-needed basis. This helps you see optimum results as your program is tailored to meet your unique needs.
