Prescription GLP-1 medications for weight loss
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer prescription GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as part of our comprehensive weight loss solutions. Initially developed to help manage diabetes, these medications have shown remarkable success in supporting weight loss by regulating blood sugar, reducing appetite, and slowing digestion. These FDA-approved treatments provide a safe and effective way to achieve and maintain long-term weight loss.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to regulate blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which helps manage insulin production, slows the emptying of the stomach, and reduces appetite by acting on the brain’s hunger signals. This dual-action approach promotes sustained weight loss while supporting improved blood sugar control.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, helping to regulate blood sugar and manage appetite. By increasing insulin production, suppressing glucagon levels, and slowing digestion, Tirzepatide helps you feel full for longer and reduce calorie intake. This medication has been shown to promote significant weight loss while improving metabolic health and blood sugar regulation.
