Semaglutide & Tirzepatide Injections
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide once weekly injections for weight loss
Losing weight can be frustrating. In the past we believed that weight loss was based only on the number of calories you consumed in relation to how many you burned. Now we know that there are many other factors which contribute to a person’s ability to lose weight including hormones.
Incretins are hormones produced in your GI tract. They contribute to how you use calories and they also influence your metabolism.
GLP-1 and GIP are two known incretins and can now be used to help people lose weight. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication and tirzepatide is a combination of GLP-1 and GIP medication. Your body normally produces these hormones but their actions are usually short lived. By increasing how long these hormones work, through once weekly injections, you can benefit from their natural effects.
What is this and how does it work?
Combined with exercise and healthy eating, weight loss injections have shown the potential to decrease total body weight by 15-25%. However, there may be side effects of hormone based weight loss injections, including nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, or constipation. Most of these side effects increase as your dose increases. We will work individually to determine the best dose for you. Speak with our experts to get more insights about weight loss injections to decide if they are right for you.
