FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication that helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and stabilize blood sugar. It signals your brain that you’re full, making it easier to control portions and reduce cravings. When combined with healthy lifestyle changes, it supports steady, sustainable weight loss—typically through a simple once-weekly injection.

  • Tirzepatide is a newer medication that targets two key hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—to enhance appetite control and metabolism. This dual action helps reduce hunger, improve blood sugar balance, and support more significant weight loss over time. Like Semaglutide, it’s given as a weekly injection and works best with nutrition and lifestyle guidance.

  • Ideal candidates are adults who:

    • Struggle with weight loss despite diet and exercise efforts

    • Have a BMI of 27 or higher (or 30+ depending on health conditions)

    • Want a medically supervised, science-based program

    • Are committed to building sustainable habits alongside treatment

    Your provider will review your medical history to determine if GLP-1 therapy is safe and appropriate for you.

  • These medications may not be suitable for individuals who:

    • Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN type 2

    • Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy

    • Have allergies to any ingredients in the medication
      Your provider will screen for these and other medical considerations during your consultation.

  • Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are self-administered as small, once-weekly injections under the skin (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). You’ll receive clear step-by-step training from your provider to ensure you feel comfortable and confident giving your injections at home.

  • Results vary by individual, but most clients experience gradual, steady weight loss over several weeks to months. Clinical studies show average total body weight reductions of 10–20% with consistent use, combined with healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits. Many also report more energy, fewer cravings, and improved metabolic health.

  • Mild side effects such as nausea, bloating, or constipation are common when starting treatment and usually improve as your body adjusts. Taking smaller meals and staying hydrated can help. Serious side effects are rare, but you should contact your provider immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction.
