Recently, GLP-1 receptor agonist medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide have grown in popularity, which is large because they are far more effective than other weight loss drugs on the market.
GLP-1 medications mimic the natural hormones released during digestion that are responsible for gastric emptying, satiety, hunger, nutrient absorption, and more. Glucagon peptide hormones are responsible for telling you when you are full and keeping you full. As type 2 diabetes is largely a result of diet and lifestyle, these medications help people control their calorie intake to see an improvement in their condition. However, this control of calorie intake, delayed gastric emptying, and enhanced metabolism also means that these patients lose weight with remarkable speed and success.
If you have exhausted the traditional weight loss methods of dieting, calorie restriction, exercise, and lifestyle changes and have not obtained the results you want, then semaglutide or tirzepatide may bring you the beneficial life changes you desire. Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with our nurse practitioner to begin your enhanced weight loss journey.
