We prescribe this innovative medication to help you achieve significant weight loss by targeting both appetite and insulin regulation. Our approach ensures that Tirzepatide is tailored to your unique needs, offering a safe and effective solution for long-term weight management.
Tirzepatide is a medication formulated to aid in weight loss by targeting two key hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones play crucial roles in regulating appetite, insulin sensitivity, and glucose metabolism. By mimicking their actions, Tirzepatide helps reduce hunger, control blood sugar levels, and promote significant weight loss. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we prescribe Tirzepatide as part of our weight loss program. This treatment offers a powerful solution for those struggling with obesity or weight-related health issues.
Tirzepatide promotes weight loss through several key mechanisms that target different aspects of metabolism and appetite control. Below is an explanation of how it helps you achieve significant weight loss.
Tirzepatide activates the GLP-1 and GIP receptors in the brain, which play a crucial role in regulating hunger and satiety. By mimicking the effects of these hormones, Tirzepatide reduces appetite and curbs cravings. This helps you feel fuller for longer periods, making it easier to adhere to a calorie-controlled diet and avoid overeating, which is essential for weight loss.
Tirzepatide slows down gastric emptying, the process by which food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. By delaying this process, Tirzepatide prolongs the sensation of fullness after meals, reducing the urge to snack between meals. This slower digestion rate helps control calorie intake and stabilizes blood sugar levels, contributing to overall metabolic health.
Tirzepatide also improves insulin sensitivity by enhancing the body’s natural response to insulin. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, as it helps regulate blood glucose levels more effectively. By improving insulin sensitivity, Tirzepatide supports better energy utilization and reduces fat storage, further promoting weight loss.
To inject Tirzepatide, you’ll use a pre-filled pen that delivers the medication just under the skin, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. We usually start with a 2.5 mg dose once weekly. After the first four weeks, your dosage may be increased in 2.5 mg increments each week, if tolerated, up to a maximum of 15 mg. Our team at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine will guide you through the process to ensure you feel confident and comfortable with your injections.
Clinical trials have shown that individuals can lose an average of up to 21% of their initial body weight when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Many participants began seeing significant weight loss within the first few months of treatment. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we monitor your progress closely and adjust the dosage over time to ensure you stay on track to reach your weight loss goals safely and effectively.
