Glp-1 medications fight weight with biology

GLP-1s are different from older classes of prescription weight loss medications (like phentermine) because they work on key underlying metabolic pathways to support sustained weight loss. They’re not just another quick fix.

Reduce inflammation

GLP-1s are clinically proven to reduce inflammation markers, leading to decreased inflammatory response and oxidative stress. CRP (C-reactive protein), a general inflammatory marker, is one marker we may follow during your Protocol.

Shift set point

GLP-1s aid in shifting your body’s set point (the weight your body fights to maintain) by impacting areas in the brain—to help curb cravings, make you feel full faster, and increase your energy expenditure.

Regulate digestion

GLP-1s slow how quickly food moves from the stomach to the intestines. This helps you feel full for longer by regulating sugar absorption in the intestine.

Improve metabolic function

GLP-1s regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin and decreasing glucagon—only when blood sugar levels are high. GLP-1s also improve whole-body energy metabolism by increasing the insulin sensitivity of muscle cells and regulating fat cell development.

We have been informed by the FDA Drug Shortage list that the status of tirzepatide has been changed to “Resolved.” This has led to the temporary suspension of new batch production containing tirzepatide. 
 
We understand the impact this may have on your treatment plan. Rest assured, we are actively exploring alternative solutions for the availability of tirzepatide. In the meantime, we would like to suggest considering the utilization of Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections or the Nutritional Guidance Weight Loss Program as potential alternatives. We are committed to supporting you during this time and are here to help you with any questions or concerns.

The tirzepatide injection is a peptide therapy weight loss drug that is administered by injection. Tirzepatide can boost weight loss for patients who struggle to achieve their desired results with diet and exercise alone. The medication controls insulin levels, producing more when blood sugar levels rise. At the same time, it slows the movement of food in the stomach, allowing the patient who takes the injections to feel fuller, and longer.

This feeling of satiety tells our body to eat less, reducing caloric consumption and, in turn, leading to increased weight loss. In studies, patients on tirzepatide lose over 15% of their body weight while taking this medication. Tirzepatide is safe for both short and long-term use, unlike many other weight loss options.

According to the NIH (National Institute of Health) studies, “tirzepatide was more effective than other drugs in reducing body weight by 5%. 10%, or 15%.” This confirms that this medication is an effective weight loss drug for many patients seeking treatment that can address obesity.

Semaglutide is quickly becoming our most prescribed weight loss medication. If you struggle with healthy eating habits, cravings, or binge eating, Semaglutide is an excellent option for patients looking to lose weight. When taken regularly, Semaglutide helps reduce hunger cravings and increases the feeling of fullness much sooner. Additionally, it helps to aid the body in utilizing sugar for energy and burning visceral fat which allows you to attain greater overall weight loss than with most other methods.  In fact, Semaglutide boasts weight loss results that are two times that of most other medications.

The FDA-approved medications that are a part of the Protocol are called GLP-1s, and are clinically tested, stimulant-free, and non-habit forming. Side effects are extremely rare, and most individuals who take a GLP-1 do not experience any.

For those who do, nausea is the most common, and this typically resolves over the first few weeks of being on the medication. If you do experience any side effects, you’ll be able to reach out to your Medical Team directly for support.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections are applied subcutaneously (very comfortably just under the skin with tiny needle-like insulin) once a week, any time of day, with or without food.

Lipo-Lean is a subcutaneous injection. There are three amino acids: methionine, inositol, choline, and vitamin B12 which make up a Lipo Lean injection. Each of these compounds offers various benefits that improve metabolism, eating habits, depression, energy levels, and more.
