HOW DO GLP-1 MEDICATIONS PROMOTE WEIGHT LOSS?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are medications designed to aid weight loss in individuals who are overweight or obese. Initially used to treat diabetes, these medications have gained popularity for their ability to help people shed excess weight safely
- Semaglutide and Tirzepatide both operate as a GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonist, mimicking the hormone GLP-1 responsible for regulating hunger and food intake. By taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide weekly, it suppresses the hormone glucagon, reducing hunger pangs. Additionally, it delays gastric emptying, promoting a feeling of fullness after meals
- In a recent study involving 1,961 participants with a BMI over 30 and without diabetes, those who received Semaglutide injections alongside exercise experienced an average weight reduction of 14.9% over 68 weeks. In comparison, the placebo group only saw a mean weight loss of 2.4%
- Our providers work with patients weekly to track results and ensure safety. Dosages are adjusted regularly to ensure side effects are not intolerable and the patient is losing weight at a safe consistent rate.
- Semaglutide or Tirzepatide are typically prescribed to individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher accompanied by conditions like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, which can hinder weight loss efforts
