What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program designed to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals through a combination of evidence-based strategies, lifestyle modifications, and expert guidance. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, medical weight loss is tailored to your specific needs, taking into account your medical history, current health status, and individual goals.

Medical Weight Loss Options

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but it has gained significant attention for its effectiveness in promoting weight loss. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a naturally occurring hormone (GLP-1) in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and digestion.

For weight loss, semaglutide works by targeting areas of the brain that control hunger and food intake. It slows down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, which reduces the amount of food you eat. It also helps control cravings and reduces overall calorie intake, leading to gradual and sustained weight loss.

Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss:

• Significant Weight Reduction: It has been proven to deliver more substantial weight loss compared to many other medications.
• Appetite Control: Helps reduce hunger and manage portion sizes.
• Improved Metabolic Health: Can improve blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Long-term Results: When used with lifestyle modifications, semaglutide supports sustainable weight loss.

How it’s Administered:

Semaglutide is typically administered as a once-weekly injection under the skin, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The dosage is gradually increased over time to minimize side effects like nausea, which is one of the most common initial reactions. At Elevate Health + Wellness, we offer both in clinic injections, or take home, self-administration options.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a groundbreaking medication initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes but has shown exceptional promise for weight loss. It is a dual-acting drug that mimics two naturally occurring hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play key roles in regulating blood sugar, insulin secretion, appetite, and energy balance.

How Tirzepatide Works for Weight Loss:

Tirzepatide works by affecting multiple pathways involved in metabolism and appetite control. It:

• Suppresses appetite: It targets areas in the brain responsible for hunger, helping to reduce food cravings and portion sizes.
• Slows digestion: Tirzepatide slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, making you feel fuller for longer periods.
• Regulates blood sugar: Like other GLP-1 medications, tirzepatide improves insulin sensitivity and stabilizes blood sugar levels, which can be particularly beneficial for people with or at risk of diabetes.

Clinical Results:

In clinical trials, tirzepatide has shown impressive weight loss outcomes. Many participants lost an average of 15-22.5% of their body weight, depending on the dose used. These results make tirzepatide one of the most effective medications for weight loss currently available, surpassing even some other GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide.

Benefits of Tirzepatide for Weight Loss:

• Substantial Weight Loss: Tirzepatide has demonstrated superior weight loss results compared to many other medications.
• Dual Action: By targeting both GLP-1 and GIP pathways, tirzepatide offers enhanced metabolic benefits.
• Improved Metabolic Health: It lowers blood sugar, improves cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
• Sustained Results: When paired with lifestyle changes, tirzepatide supports long-term weight management.

How It’s Administered:

Tirzepatide is administered as a once-weekly injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The dose is gradually increased to optimize effectiveness and minimize side effects, similar to other medications in this class. At Elevate Health + Wellness, we offer both in clinic injections, or take home, self-administration options.
