Medical weight loss programs address metabolic slow-down, which often occurs with age, making fat harder to burn. By boosting your metabolism and optimizing fat-burning potential, these programs help you overcome stubborn weight. Whether the cause is biological or behavioral, medical weight loss empowers you to take charge of your health.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and weight by mimicking the action of a natural hormone involved in glucose control and appetite suppression.

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. It improves blood sugar control and supports weight loss by regulating appetite and promoting satiety.

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are suitable for individuals with type 2 diabetes or those seeking medical weight loss who meet specific clinical criteria.

Semaglutide is given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and mild stomach upset. These usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Severe side effects are rare but include gallbladder issues or pancreatitis.

Combining Semaglutide with a healthy diet and regular exercise will enhance results. Our clinic provides tailored meal plans and fitness recommendations.
