Weight Loss

Weight loss supplements assist in losing weight by managing blood sugar levels, controlling appetite, and promoting fat loss. Potential protective cardiovascular, neurological, and mental health benefits may also be realized.

Both Tirzepatide and Retatrutide are injectable weight loss supplements. During your initial consult we will decide together which supplement is best for you.

Tirzepatide works by mimicking two hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones help regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite, leading to better blood sugar control and potential weight loss.

Retatrutide works by stimulating three different receptors:

GLP-1: Helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion, and reduces appetite.

GIP: Enhances insulin release and may improve fat metabolism.

Glucagon: Promotes fat burning and energy expenditure.

This triple action is designed to provide greater benefits in weight loss and metabolic health while still preserving muscle mass.

Tirzepatide is FDA approved for diabetes, and both supplements are showing considerable promise in clinical trials for the off-label use of weight loss.

The time it takes to see results varies depending on the supplement, your body, and your lifestyle. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while others may take longer. For the best results, combine supplements with a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Weight loss supplements are not suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications should avoid some supplements. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

No, weight loss supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. They are designed to support your weight loss journey, but long-term success depends on maintaining a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
