Confidence Within, Wellness All Around
Medically Assisted Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means that it helps to regulate glucose and insulin levels in the body. Semaglutide works by delaying gastric emptying, suppressing your appetite, and regulating glucose and insulin levels. Up to 15% weight loss can be reached using Semaglutide weekly injections.
​
Tirzepatide activates GLP-1 and GIP receptors in the body. This helps your body to regulate glucose and insulin levels. Tirzepatide works by delaying gastric emptying, suppressing hunger, and increasing your body’s sensitivity to insulin. Up to 22% weight loss can be reached using Tirzepatide weekly injections.
