What Is Weight Loss?
They are treatments designed to aid individuals in their journey towards achieving a healthier weight. At our weight loss clinic in palm beach gardens, we offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections as part of our comprehensive weight loss program.
Administered once a week, these are a powerful tool to support our patients in reaching their weight loss goals effectively and efficiently.
How Does It Work
GLP-1 agonists such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by mimicking the action of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. GLP-1 is released by the intestine in response to food intake and plays a key role in regulating appetite, promoting feelings of fullness, and controlling blood sugar levels.
What Are The Benefits?
Reduced Appetite: GLP-1 agonists help decrease appetite by signaling to the brain that the stomach is full, leading to a decreased desire to eat.
Slowed Emptying: These medications slow down the emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestine, which prolongs feelings of fullness and satiety after meals.
Improved Blood Sugar Control: GLP-1 agonists enhance insulin secretion from the pancreas in response to food intake, leading to better control of blood sugar levels. They also reduce the production of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.
Weight Loss: By reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving blood sugar control, GLP-1 agonists contribute to weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight.
