Weight Loss Programs

Tirzepatide is a medication used for weight management and blood sugar control. It works by targeting multiple pathways involved in weight regulation and appetite control, making it effective for individuals looking to lose weight and manage diabetes.

Peptides are a dual-action medication that mimics the effects of two hormones involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite control. It helps reduce appetite, enhance feelings of fullness, and improve blood sugar levels, contributing to significant weight loss.

The peptides program is suitable for adults who are struggling with weight loss and have a BMI greater than 27 with a co-morbidity, such as high blood pressure. It is ideal for those who have not achieved desired results with diet and exercise alone.

As with any medication, there may be side effects. Common side effects of peptides include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Our nurse practitioner will discuss potential side effects with you and monitor your response to the medication closely.

Results can vary, but many patients start to see noticeable weight loss within the first few weeks of starting peptides. Consistent use of the medication, along with adherence to a healthy diet and exercise plan, can lead to significant and sustained weight loss over time.

Yes, peptides are considered safe when used as directed under medical supervision. Our experienced nurse practitioner will ensure that the medication is appropriate for you and monitor your health throughout the program to maintain safety and efficacy. Please note: peptides are not recommended for females and males of reproductive potential and the use should be discontinued at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy. This medication also reduces the effectiveness of birth control due to slowing gastric emptying, so it is essential that a barrier method be utilized in these scenarios.
