A: To understand how GLP-1 agonists work, it helps to understand how the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone works.

GLP-1 is a hormone that your small intestine makes. It has several roles, including:

• Slowing stomach emptying: Slower digestion means that your body releases less glucose (sugar) from the food you eat into your bloodstream.
• Increasing how full you feel after eating (satiety): GLP-1 affects areas of your brain that processes hunger and satiety.  
• Triggering insulin release from your pancreas: Insulin is an essential hormone that allows your body to use the food you eat for energy. It lowers the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. If you don’t have enough insulin, your blood sugar increases, leading to diabetes.
• Blocking glucagon secretion: Glucagon is a hormone your body uses to raise your blood sugar levels when necessary. So, GLP-1 prevents more glucose from going into your bloodstream.

The satiety effect of GLP1-agonists reduces your food intake, appetite and hunger. These combined effects often result in weight loss.

A: Semaglutide is newly approved for weight loss, but it has been approved and used to treat Type 2 Diabetes since 2017. This class of medications (similar to Ozempic, Wegovy, and Trulicity) has been approved since 2005. Semaglutide is also non-addictive and has no known severe or long-term side effects.

Tirzepatide (similar to Mounjaro) is approved for treating Diabetes and is FDA approved and deemed safe for weight loss.

A: Results depend on individuals, so come and find out what you can achieve.

 On Semaglutide, once you reach the full dose at 9-16 weeks, it is typically a steady 1-3 pounds of weight loss a week. 

On Tirzepatide, it is common to see weight loss from the start of treatment with continued steady weight loss as the dosage is increased.

A: Common adverse side effects include nausea, constipation, or fatigue. Rest assured though, you will have a medical staff on hand to help you every step of the way to help mediate any adverse side effects you may have. 

A: People used to think weight loss was just a matter of willpower, but it is not. Now we know that obesity is actually a chronic disease. No matter how hard you work to make good choices, your body chemistry changes to get you back to your highest weight. Prescription medication can be used as a solution to ReSet your metabolism and break the cycle of obesity.
