Prescription GLP-1 medications for weight loss
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we incorporate GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide into our weight loss program. Originally designed to manage type 2 diabetes, these medications have shown great success in supporting weight loss by regulating blood sugar, reducing appetite, and slowing digestion. These FDA-approved treatments offer a safe and effective solution for those seeking to lose weight and maintain their results over the long term.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps control blood sugar levels by mimicking the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone. In addition to supporting insulin production, it slows gastric emptying, which helps prolong feelings of fullness, and reduces hunger by acting on the brain’s appetite control centers. This combination makes Semaglutide a powerful tool for promoting steady weight loss and improved blood sugar regulation.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors to help regulate blood sugar and control appetite. By enhancing insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, and slowing digestion, Tirzepatide helps you feel full longer and reduces calorie intake. This medication has proven effective in helping individuals achieve significant weight loss and improved metabolic health.
