Weight management, and more specifically medical weight loss, is the process of losing weight with the help and guidance of a healthcare provider, typically a doctor or nurse practitioner. They use their knowledge and medical experience to help an individual lose weight by creating a treatment plan that is realistic and helps them accomplish their weight loss goals.

Scientific Advances for Weight Management: Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
Semaglutide is a medication that has been used to treat diabetes since 2019. It works by mimicking the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1), which helps the body regulate blood sugar levels. It also reduces hunger, regulates appetite, and increases feelings of satiety (fullness). In addition, Semaglutide has been shown to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In June 2021, semaglutide was approved for chronic weight management in obese individuals with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 and greater with at least one comorbidity. Semaglutide is compounded with cyanocobalamin (B-12) to help increase energy.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor, and GLP-1 (glucugon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, representing a new class of medicines studied for the treatment of obesity. Tirzepatide is a single peptide that triggers the body’s receptors for GIP and GLP-1, two natural incretin hormones. Tirzepatide is compounded with cyanocobalamin (B-12) to help increase energy.
GIP leads to decreased food intake and increased cellular energy expenditure, resulting in weight loss. Combined with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, GIP has a more significant effect on glucose and body weight. In clinical trials, participants taking Tirzepatide lost an average of 20% of their initial body weight.
