GLP-1 Medications: A Safe and Effective Tool for Weight Loss
As part of our comprehensive program, and under the careful guidance of our physicians, we may recommend GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of medications that have shown remarkable results in helping people achieve significant weight loss. These medications, such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), work by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar levels, and digestion.
How GLP-1 Medications Work:
- Appetite Control: GLP-1 medications help you feel fuller for longer, reducing cravings and overeating. They slow down gastric emptying, which means food stays in your stomach longer, contributing to a feeling of satiety.
- Blood Sugar Regulation: These medications can also help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes by stimulating insulin release when blood sugar levels are high.
- Reduced Cravings: GLP-1 medications can help reduce cravings for sugary and high-fat foods, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.
Tirzepatide vs. Semaglutide: Key Differences and Benefits
While both tirzepatide and semaglutide are effective for weight loss and blood sugar control, they have some key differences:
- Mechanism of Action: Semaglutide primarily activates the GLP-1 receptor, while tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. This dual action of tirzepatide may contribute to some of its observed benefits.
- Potential Benefits: Tirzepatide may lead to greater weight loss and improved blood sugar control compared to semaglutide. Importantly, some studies suggest that tirzepatide may offer an advantage in preserving muscle mass during weight loss. This is crucial as some weight loss medications can inadvertently lead to muscle loss, which can have negative health consequences. Maintaining muscle mass is important for strength, metabolism, and overall health.
Importance of Medical Supervision – Ours is Unparalleled
- Thorough Evaluation: Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your health history to determine if GLP-1 medications are right for you.
- Personalized Dosing: Prescribe the appropriate medication and dosage based on your individual needs and health conditions. This critical step is always handled by a physician at our clinic.
- Side Effect Management: Closely monitor you for any potential side effects. Common side effects of GLP-1 medications can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and injection site reactions. These are often mild and temporary, and our physician-led team will provide guidance and support to manage them. We will also discuss less common but potentially more serious side effects with you in detail. It’s important to communicate any side effects that you experience to our team.
- Medication Adjustments: Adjust your medication dosage or switch to a different medication if needed to optimize your results and minimize side effects. Again, this is always done by a physician at Phoenix Health Oasis.
- Behavioral Modification: Our physicians are trained in behavioral modification techniques and will provide guidance and support to help you develop healthy habits and make lasting lifestyle changes.
