Medically Managed Weight Loss Program
Medically managed weight loss is a comprehensive, physician-led approach to weight loss that includes some lifestyle changes, nutritional counseling, behavioral therapy, and medication. Among the medications utilized, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide stand out as safe and effective options. Semaglutide mimics the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that helps regulate both appetite and blood glucose levels. This results in a reduction of cravings and caloric intake. Tirzepatide, on the other hand, is a dual GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist that has a similar impact on satiety and glucose metabolism while potentially improving the body’s ability to use insulin effectively. These treatments are beneficial for people who have obesity, are overweight, and suffer from related issues such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
