Medically Managed Weight Loss Injections
Struggling with stubborn weight? Unlock the secret to losing weight with GLP-1 & GIP injections. Each weight loss injection is part of a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet individual health objectives.
Semaglutide (GLP-1) &
Tirzepatide (GLP1 & GIP)
Both of these medications are incretin agonists. The two known incretins are GLP-1 & GIP, both are naturally occurring hormones that are released in the small intestine after any food intake. Some of the known effects include:
​
-
Pancreas - Stimulates insulin and glucagon secretion (glucose control & metabolic improvement)
-
Gut - Delays gastric emptying making us feel fuller faster and feel fuller longer (weight loss)
-
Brain - Increases satiety hormones, suppresses hunger hormones between meals, and suppresses reward hormones typically released after eating and drinking (weight loss)
-
Cardiovascular - increases vasodilation and reduces cardiovascular inflammation (decreasing blood pressure)
​
These medications are used, in combination with lifestyle modifications, to assist weight loss in adults with obesity (BMI>30) or overweight individuals (BMI>27) who have weight related medical conditions. Injectables are recommended to be used in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. There is no guarantee for weight loss results.
