Weight loss
SEMAGLUTIDE and TIRZEPATIDE promotes weight loss.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide both work to treat diabetes and have shown to help with weight loss. However, they belong to different classes of drugs. Semaglutide works on the GLP-1 receptors and Tirzepatide works on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. They both help regulate sugar levels in the body. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide reduce appetite, increase the feeling of fullness, burns fat, increases metabolism and slows digestion of food. When used for weight loss you should eat smaller meals, increase water intake, decrease fatty and processed food and exercise.
What to expect during your weight loss journey?
You will have a scheduled appointment with our nurse practitioner, Gretchen. She will discuss your medical history and weight loss goals. Together, you will discuss Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to determine which is better for you. We will weigh and measure you to get a baseline measurement.

At the end of three months we will determine if another around of treatment is needed.
