GLP-1 Weight Loss FAQs

What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, and how do they work?

These glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications are FDA-approved treatments that regulate appetite and improve metabolism by mimicking natural hormones, helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss.

Is Semaglutide or Tirzepatide better for me, and what’s the difference?

The choice between these medications should be discussed with your healthcare provider during consultation. Semaglutide is often recommended for patients focused on gradual and effective weight loss. Tirzepatide may be more suitable for patients seeking faster and potentially greater weight loss results, as it impacts both appetite regulation and insulin sensitivity. Some patients may tolerate one medication better than the other. Both medications can cause side effects like nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort, and the provider will monitor how the body responds.

What is the delivery method of the medication?

The medications are weekly, self-administered subcutaneous injections using very small needles. We promise they don’t hurt! Your medication will be shipped to you monthly with everything you need in the box, including detailed instructions.

Am I a candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

Each patient must first do a screening with a healthcare provider to determine safety and candidacy. These treatments are generally recommended for individuals with a starting BMI of 27+. Please review the candidacy information above. You will be denied treatment if you have any of the listed contraindications.

Many patients start noticing changes in appetite and weight within the first few weeks. However, results may vary based on your diet, exercise, and adherence to the plan.

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort, which typically lessen as your body adjusts. Your provider will guide you on managing these.

How long do I need to stay on this treatment?
