GLP-1 agonists, like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, mimic a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps regulate your appetite by:

• Slowing digestion, so you feel fuller longer.
• Reducing hunger signals from the brain.
• Supporting better insulin regulation and metabolic function.

These medications have been shown to significantly reduce body weight when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

While both medications are effective for weight loss, there are key differences:

• Semaglutide: Mimics GLP-1 to reduce appetite and calorie intake.
• Tirzepatide: Mimics both GLP-1 and GIP, reducing appetite and significantly improving insulin sensitivity.
• Tirzepatide often leads to faster, more significant weight loss, especially for individuals with insulin resistance.

Tirzepatide tends to produce faster, more significant weight loss compared to Semaglutide, making it a popular choice for individuals with insulin resistance or a higher BMI.

The timeline varies depending on the medication and individual factors. However, most patients begin to notice changes within:

• 4-8 weeks with Tirzepatide.
• 6-12 weeks with Semaglutide.

These medications work best when paired with consistent, healthy habits like balanced eating and regular activity.

GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for weight loss and generally considered safe for most people. However, like any medication, they may cause side effects, including:

• Nausea (most common)
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Fatigue or headaches

These side effects typically improve within a few weeks as the body adjusts. If side effects persist, our medical team is available to help.

Choosing between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide depends on your goals and health profile:

• Choose Semaglutide if you want a proven, steady, and gradual approach to weight loss.
• Choose Tirzepatide if you’re looking for more rapid results and also need help managing insulin resistance.
