The combination of a balanced diet, exercise, accountability, and the right hormone therapy will help you get your body to where it should be.

Semaglutide

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine we are proud to offer semaglutide in Henderson. Semaglutide is a cutting-edge, FDA-approved medication that supports chronic weight management in adults with obesity or those with weight-related conditions and health risks. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that’s similar to incretin, a naturally-occurring hormone that controls your appetite. As such, the semaglutide medication can control your appetite and prevent hunger pangs, thus supporting your weight loss goals.

Semaglutide is a one-of-a-kind drug only meant for individuals who are overweight or obese, i.e., those with a BMI of 27 or more and a weight-related condition, such as diabetes, or those with a BMI of 30 or more. Please note that this medication isn’t an alternative to exercise and a healthy diet — it can only support other weight loss efforts, such as exercise, a low-calorie diet, and behavior changes.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a medical weight loss supplement that can help with weight loss by suppressing appetite and making you feel fuller faster and for a longer period. Tirzepatide targets a specific receptor in the body called the GLP-1 receptor. The GLP-1 receptor is found in the gut and regulates appetite. When the GLP-1 receptor is stimulated, it sends signals to the brain that tell the body to stop eating. By targeting the GLP-1 receptor, Tirzepatide artificially induces feelings of fullness so you don’t feel hungry. Furthermore, it can also inhibit the release of ghrelin, a hormone that contributes to your hunger pangs, making it easier for you to stick to your low-calorie diet.

In addition to killing your appetite, our Tirzepatide in Henderson can also slow down the digestive processes within your stomach. This medication makes your stomach empty out slower, so you continue feeling sated long after your meals, preventing you from snacking between meals. Studies have shown that consistent use of Tirzepatide, in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise, can lead to a 5% to 22.5% reduction in total body weight.
