Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss Options

Mimics a natural hormone: Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a natural hormone called GLP-1. This hormone is normally released in your gut after you eat.
Regulates blood sugar: Semaglutide helps your body produce more insulin when blood sugar levels are high and reduces the amount of sugar released from your liver. This helps to lower and stabilize blood glucose.
Slows digestion and reduces appetite: It also slows down the rate at which food leaves your stomach, which helps you feel full longer and reduces your appetite, leading to decreased food intake and weight loss.

It is a "dual agonist," meaning it mimics the action of two different natural hormones in the body:
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1): This is the same hormone targeted by semaglutide. It helps control blood sugar, slows down digestion, and reduces appetite.
GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide): This hormone also helps the body release insulin after eating and contributes to the feeling of fullness.
By acting on both of these hormone pathways, tirzepatide can lead to more significant reductions in blood sugar and body weight compared to medications that only target one.

Mechanism: Phentermine works by stimulating the central nervous system to release chemicals that reduce hunger. It essentially tricks the brain into feeling full, which leads to a decrease in food intake and, over time, weight loss.
Use: It is typically prescribed for a period of a few weeks and is meant to be used in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It is not a standalone solution for weight loss.
