Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog. GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar.
Studies show that semaglutide reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings in addition to improving glycemic control. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) incretin hormone that helps the pancreas release insulin, which in turn helps the body control blood sugar levels.

Due to the beneficial lifestyle changes Semeaglutide and Tirzepatide promotes, it is possible to stay at a consistent weight when you get off of the medication. However, if you go back to poor eating and lifestyle habits, it is likely that weight gain will occur.
To experience the best results possible we recommend incorporating healthier eating habits and moving your body. Prioritizing protein, healthy fats and fiber as well as reducing the amount of processed foods is highly recommended.
Tirzepatide combines two classes of medications: GLP-1 and GIP, whereas semaglutide includes just the GLP-1. Patients are reporting significantly less nausea symptoms with tirzpeatide.
The recommended maximum dosage is 50 units of the compounded GLP-1 medication. If you titrate past this, you will be charged your monthly subscription price plus an additional vial at an ala carte rate. All ala carte vial sizes should be consulted with the provider and case manager. Please contact your case manager for this pricing.
