What is Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Medical weight loss with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide represents a groundbreaking approach to managing obesity and associated conditions. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are injectable medications approved for use in a weight loss program for adults with obesity or at least one weight-related condition (like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol).
These weight loss medications are part of a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are designed to mimic the action of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1, helping regulate appetite and food intake along your weight loss journey.
How Does It Work?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by enhancing the body’s natural ability to control blood sugar and appetite. They slow down gastric emptying, which helps individuals feel fuller longer, reducing overall food intake. Additionally, these medications directly affect the brain’s appetite-regulating centers, leading to a decrease in hunger and an increase in feelings of satiety. This dual action assists in an effective medical weight loss program at our Scottsdale weight loss center. Our weightloss program is customized to your unique weightloss goal and therefore you are given not only the medication but a customized program that includes vitamin shots, food plan, weekly check ins, dose adjustments, and body contouring
