What Are GLP-1 Medications?

GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) are medications that mimic a natural hormone in your body. They help regulate appetite, reduce cravings, improve blood sugar control, and support long-term weight management.
While these medications are an important tool, the best results come when they are combined with personalized care, lifestyle changes, and ongoing medical supervision.

"I've struggled with my weight for most of my adult life and have been on any number of diet and fitness plans without lasting success...Jessica helped me design a program that would work for me...I had lost 23 pounds! The best part was that my DEXA scans showed that the initial loss was all fat, and my labs showed marked improvement...I highly recommend working with Jessica and her team, especially those who have tried and failed ..in the past." - E.R.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do semaglutide and tirzepatide curb your appetite?

Semaglutide acts on your brain to regulate your appetite, reduce feelings of physical hunger, and help you feel fuller faster. 

Yes- it helps regulate your metabolism by making your body more sensitive to insulin to take up more blood sugar. 

Yes! Semaglutide and Tirzepatide improves body composition by reducing excess body fat, including abdominal fat, and increasing the proportion of lean body mass, or the amount of weight someone carries that is not body fat. The more body weight a participant lost, the more significant the improvement in body composition.

The most common side effects include mild‐to‐moderate and transient gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, constipation, loose stools, upset stomach, etc).  Adding B12 to our shots helps to reduce these side effects. 

The retail cost ranges from $900-$1600. We can discuss special pricing and online coupons you may be eligible for if your insurance does not cover these medications. 

You could see results as early as the first month. Healthy, sustainable weight loss is 0.5 – 2.0 pounds a week.

You will be provided a diet based on your needs. We recommend that you eat slowly, consume smaller meals, drink clear or ice‐cold drinks (like water or unsweetened tea) and avoid fried, greasy, or sweet foods to minimize symptoms. 

Most patients tolerate the medication without any side effects.  Some patients only report side effects during the first week: belching, bloating, full feeling, or nausea. 

No, but if you have a history of severe depression, your symptoms may worsen.  We do not recommend this medication for individuals with severe depression. 

There have been several postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) and worsening chronic kidney disease CKD in patients taking semaglutide.  We do not recommend if you have a history of kidney problems. 

It can be used for as long as it remains beneficial for weight loss and maintenance and does not cause intolerable side effects.

We discourage alcohol consumption while using GLP-1 drugs as drinking may cause severe low blood sugar. 

There have been no published reports of liver failure. As with any FAT loss program, gallbladder dysfunction may occur (i.e., gallstones and inflammation) due to a large amount of fat lost. I recommend adding LIPOTROPHIC INJECTIONS to your plan to expedite the breakdown and removal of fat through the liver

You should not take semaglutide if you or anyone in your family has had a rare type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a type I diabetes, have severe depression, have a history of pancreatitis or kidney problems.
