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