Weight Loss Management

Personalized, medically guided weight loss designed to balance hormones, boost metabolism, and help you look and feel your best, naturally and sustainably.

Semaglutide

​

Brand Name: Ozempic, Wegovy

Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1, which regulates blood sugar, appetite, and insulin secretion.

​

It acts as a GLP‑1 receptor agonist, meaning it mimics the effect of GLP‑1 hormone:

  • Stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas only when blood sugar is elevated, reducing the risk of hypoglycemia compared to other diabetes medications.

  • Suppresses glucagon release, which decreases glucose production by the liver.

  • Slows gastric emptying, helping you feel full longer and reducing appetite.

  • Acts on the brain’s appetite centers, aiding weight loss in obesity treatment.

Tirzepatide

​

Brand Name: Mounjaro

Tirzepatide activates both GIP (glucose‑dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP‑1 receptors, enhancing blood sugar control and promoting weight loss.

​

It targets two incretin hormones:

  • GLP‑1 receptor activation (like semaglutide):

     Stimulates insulin release when glucose is high.

     Reduces glucagon secretion.

     Slows gastric emptying.

     Reduces appetite.

  1. GIP receptor activation:
     Enhances insulin secretion in response to meals.
