Should you have encountered persistent difficulties in achieving weight loss through diet and exercise alone, our program may provide the optimal solution.
Semaglutide 1st month Start up $450*
Tirzepatide 1st month Start up $650*
*$50 for your consultation is deducted from the start up fee. Remaining balance is used towards your weekly injections once depleted injections are paid upon received dosing. Weekly checkins in person, by phone or email with the provider are mandatory.
What is Semaglutide & Trizepatide
Semaglutide & Trizepatide, is a medication originally developed for diabetes, offering several benefits for weight loss by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that regulates appetite and blood sugar, leading to reduced hunger, increased fullness, and potentially sustained weight loss.
Administered as injections using small needles into fatty areas of the body, these medications interact with cell receptors in the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and other areas. They are modified versions of peptide molecules that closely resemble those produced by our bodies. These medications work by delaying the processing and emptying of food from the stomach, leading to feelings of early and long-lasting fullness after meals. They also influence brain centers to regulate and reduce cravings, helping patients manage stress-eating and reward-eating behaviors, which contributes to weight loss.
Benefits
Appetite Suppression:
The medication interacts with GLP-1 receptors in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus, which regulates appetite and satiety. This interaction leads to reduced hunger and cravings, encouraging individuals to consume fewer calories.
Slower Gastric Emptying:
The medication slows down the rate at which the stomach empties, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness after meals and reducing the urge to overeat.
Improved Blood Sugar Control:
By mimicking the action of GLP-1, it helps regulate blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing it.
Potential for Long-Term Weight Loss:
Studies have shown that it can lead to clinically significant weight loss that can be sustained over time, even after the medication is discontinued.
Cardiovascular Benefits:
Some studies suggest that it may also offer cardiovascular benefits, even if weight loss is not achieved.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity:
The medication improves the body’s ability to use insulin, which can help prevent weight gain and promote fat loss, particularly around the abdomen.
How it Works
These medications enhance feelings of fullness and decrease cravings for certain (usually unhealthy) foods, and sometimes alcohol. These effects can help control hunger and emotional eating tendencies, resulting in decreased calorie intake for most users. When used responsibly in conjunction with healthy lifestyle changes, such as a reduced calorie intake, a healthier diet, and regular exercise, these medications can contribute to a healthy, sustainable plan to achieve lasting weight loss.
