Weight Loss

GLP-1 medications work by mimicking a hormone your gut naturally produces after eating, one that slows digestion, reduces appetite, and helps regulate blood sugar. That combination is what makes sustained weight loss possible for many people where diet and exercise alone plateaued.

Semaglutide targets a single hormone receptor (GLP-1). Tirzepatide targets two (GLP-1 and GIP), which is part of why many patients see stronger results on Tirzepatide, though individual response varies. Both require a prescription, lab work, and physician oversight; this is not a self-directed treatment.
