Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved prescription medication used for medical weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. It’s unique because it targets two key hormone pathways that regulate appetite and blood sugar, making it one of the most effective treatments available today.

How It Works

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide & glucagon-like peptide-1)

  • Reducing appetite- helps you feel satisfied with smaller portions

  • Slowing digestion- prolongs fullness and reduces overeating

  • Improving insulin sensitivity- better blood sugar control

  • Supporting metabolism- enhances the body's ability to burn fat

Benefits of Tirzepatide

  • Clinically proven to help patients lose 20% or more of their body weight with consistent use and lifestyle support

  • More effective that Semaglutide for many individuals in clinical trials

  • Decreases cravings and improves portion control

  • Improves blood sugar regulation and reduces the risk of diabetes complications

  • Helps lower certain cardiovascular risks

  • Once-weekly injections make it simple and convenient

Important Notes

  • Administered as a once-weekly injection under medical supervision

  • Common mild side effects: nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or decreased appetite (usually improve over time)

  • Not for use in individuals with certain conditions (like personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2)

  • Works best when combined with a personalized nutrition and lifestyle program for long-term success
