Medical Weight Loss
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication for weight loss. While originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has been found to have significant effects on weight reduction. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of the naturally-occurring hormone GLP-1 in the body. It stimulates insulin secretion, lowers glucagon secretion, and slows down the rate at which food is absorbed into the bloodstream. This leads to improved blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes, but also reduces appetite and increases feelings of fullness, resulting in weight loss.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide acts as a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) receptor agonist.
These peptides will work to help lower your blood sugar after eating by triggering an insulin release. It also slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, allowing you to feel full longer. The delayed gastric emptying decreases the feeling of hunger, which results in weight loss.
