Weight Loss
Stimulates insulin secretion & increases insulin sensitivity. Most people who are unable to lose weight are insulin resistance thus their cells have difficulty utilizing glucose for energy and sugar (carbs) is stored as fat. The pancreas produces more insulin in response leading to high blood sugars leading to pre-diabetes & type 2 diabetes.
More than 1 in 3 Americans have prediabetes and 1 in 10 have type 2 diabetes. So do not wait to address insulin resistance (IR). We order and complete a comprehensive lab review to check for insulin resistance & metabolic syndrome. Client’s report decrease cravings, not feeling hungry all the time due to delayed gastric emptying.
Activates glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in the brain, regulating appetite and caloric intake. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has a GIP receptor as well and the research so far reveals it is a superior weight loss drug.
Delays gastric (stomach) emptying so you are not hungry all the time.
The Surge in Popularity of GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications: What’s Behind It?
GLP-1/ GIP weight loss drugs sold under the brand names like Wegovy/Ozempic, Mounjaro/Zepbound, Saxenda/Victoza have become highly popular because they represent a breakthrough in obesity treatment. Here’s why they’re generating so much buzz:
Weight Loss
Wegovy/Ozempic
Wegovy/Ozempic is a medication that has gained significant recognition for its powerful effects on weight loss and diabetes management respectively. It is part of a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a natural hormone involved in regulating appetite, glucose metabolism, and insulin production.
How GLP'1S Work
GLP-1 receptors work by activitating the GLP-1 hormone which regulates appetite and feelings of fullness. By stimulating these receptors, the drug helps reduce hunger, prolongs the feeling of being full, and slows gastric emptying. This leads to reduced food intake and ultimately significant weight loss. Additionally, Semaglutide improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it a dual-purpose drug for both obesity and type 2 diabetes management.
Benefits of Semaglutide
One of the standout benefits of Semaglutide is its ability to promote weight loss. Many patients experience notable reductions in body weight, which can improve overall health and enhance diabetes management.
By working with your body's natural insulin response, Semaglutide lowers the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) compared to some other diabetes treatments.
Studies have indicated that Semaglutide may offer cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes, which is an important consideration for people with type 2 diabetes.
By effectively managing blood sugar levels and supporting weight loss, Semaglutide can contribute to an improved quality of life, making daily activities more manageable and enjoyable.
Weight Loss Benefits :
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have been shown to promote substantial and sustained weight loss by suppressing appetite and reducing food intake.
These medications enhance insulin sensitivity and improve glucose metabolism, which can lead to better control of blood sugar levels, especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Weight loss achieved with these injections can lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic natural hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), helping you feel fuller for longer, making it easier to stick to healthy eating habits.

Weight Loss
Zepbound
Zepbound is a novel drug that combines the actions of two different types of hormone receptors to help control blood sugar levels. Specifically, it mimics the effects of two natural hormones, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide), which play important roles in regulating glucose metabolism
How GIP/GLP-1s Work
Zepbound is an innovative medication designed to help manage type 2 diabetes effectively. It operates through a dual-action mechanism that targets two important hormones in the body: GLP-1 and GIP.
Benefits of Dual Receptors GIP/GLP-1
By mimicking the effects of both GLP-1 and GIP hormones, these medications enhances insulin production and improves insulin sensitivity, leading to better control of blood sugar levels.
Mounjaro/Zepbound has been shown to help with weight loss, an important benefit for people with type 2 diabetes, as managing weight can improve overall diabetes control and reduce related health risks.
Tirzepatide is designed to work with your body's natural insulin response, reducing the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) compared to some other diabetes medications.
By addressing multiple aspects of blood sugar regulation and supporting weight management, Tirzepatide helps you achieve a more comprehensive approach to diabetes care.
