Medical Weight Loss

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an injectable medication that mimics the effects of a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1). This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels, increase satiety, and slow down digestion. By mimicking its effects, Semaglutide can help reduce appetite, promote weight loss, and improve blood sugar control.

‍

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is also an injectable medication that combines the actions of two hormones: GLP-1 (like Semaglutide) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This combination allows for even greater blood sugar control and appetite suppression, leading to significant weight loss.

How do these medications work?

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by increasing the levels of GLP-1 in the body. This hormone has several effects on the body that contribute to weight loss:

Slows down digestion: By slowing down digestion, GLP-1 increases the sensation of fullness, making you feel satisfied with smaller portions of food.
Reduces appetite: GLP-1 also acts on the brain's appetite center, reducing feelings of hunger and cravings for high-calorie foods.
Improves blood sugar control: GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin production and slowing down the release of glucose from the liver.
