About Weight Loss Therapy

Semaglutide is favored for weight loss due to its high efficacy in reducing appetite and body weight, convenience of once-weekly dosing, and positive impacts on overall metabolic health. It is a popular non-surgical treatment that mimics the action GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite and calorie intake by acting on the brain’s satiety centers to enhance feelings of fullness and reduce hunger, regulates blood sugar levels and produces delayed gastric emptying. This leads to decreased food consumption and , consequently, significant weight loss over time.

Tirzepatide much like the aforementioned is favored for its ability to induce weight loss. Unlike Semaglutid, this medication is a duel GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist  offering a unique approach to blood sugar control and weight management. When used once weekly Tirzepatide regulates glucose levels, reduces appetite, extends the feeling of fullness, resulting in significant weight loss.
