Tirzepatide
Our program specializes in supporting a consistent and balanced approach to the weight loss journey. Together, we can curate meaningful results with scheduled Tirzepatide treatment.
Weight Management with Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is an injectable medication used to help manage appetite and support weight loss. The treatment works by stimulating the GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, which lead to increased insulin secretion as a response to elevated blood sugar levels.
In addition to being a GLP-1 receptor agonist – Tirzepatide also mimics a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), a hormone in the body that aids blood glucose levels and facillitates fat cell storage.
This innovative therapy aims to improve blood sugar control and weight management by leveraging the synergistic effects of both GIP and GLP-1.
