Tirzepatide
Your Genesis Lifestyle Medicine provider in Las Vegas may recommend a prescription medication called Tirzepatide to facilitate weight loss. This FDA-approved medication is generally used to control blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes. However, recent studies have shown that it can also control appetite, reduce hunger pangs, and support weight loss goals.
How does Tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide works by insulin release when your blood sugar is high. Furthermore, it’s a GLP-1 receptor agonist, so it can increase the levels of GLP-1, which induces feelings of fullness after meals. By stimulating GLP-1, Tirzepatide tricks your brain into thinking that you’re completely full and satisfied, so you’re not compelled to overeat during meals.
Furthermore, Tirzepatide can also slow the digestive process, so you continue feeling full and satisfied long after your meal. This ensures that you don’t consume snacks between your meals. Whether by suppressing appetite or slowing down digestion, Tirzepatide eliminates the primary reason most weight loss efforts fail — an inability to stick to your low-calorie diet.
What results can you expect?
The results of your Tirzepatide weight loss plan will depend on your diet plan, activity level, and consistency. However, studies have shown that overweight and obese individuals can lose 5% to 22.5% of their total body weight a few months after starting Tirzepatide treatments.
If you stick to your weight loss plan, exercise regularly, and take the Tirzepatide in Las Vegas we offer as prescribed, you will soon achieve your weight loss goals.
