Tirzepatide & Semaglutide Therapy
What Is Tirzepatide and Semaglutide?
FDA approved Semaglutide and soon to be FDA approved Tirzepatide are GLP-1 agonist medications that have been proven effective in treating obesity and promoting dramatic weight loss.
- These weekly injections can lead to weight loss results of up to 15â25% body weight with no need for drastic changes in diet or lifestyle.
- When combined with a customized high protein, low-fat diet and exercise plan, these medications have been shown to produce significant improvements in health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity.
In addition, there is preferential loss of fat versus muscle, which is different than traditional dieting.
You will be closely monitored by our team of MDs, NPs, RNs, and our dietician, who will determine what dosages are right for you. Our practitioners can make adjustments to your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide doses on an as-needed basis. This helps you see optimum results as your program is tailored to meet your unique needs.
We also closely follow your body composition with a full-body scanner throughout your treatment. It is vital to prevent as much muscle loss as possible to maintain your metabolism. In traditional dieting, you will lose significant muscle mass and your BMR (basal metabolic rate) will decrease.
With Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, there is much better muscle preservation. In the FDA trials, most participants maintained or increased their metabolism when finished with the treatment. We focus on keeping your BMR stable or increased while losing weight on these medications to help you maintain your weight loss after treatment.
