How it works
During your initial consultation with a WeightMEDICA specialist, you will undergo a thorough assessment of your basil metabolic rate, lifestyle determinants, energy levels, inflammation levels, and eating habits. Following this, a complete lab panel will be used to determine which route is best for you to achieve your weight loss goals. Each patient receives a completely customized, unique weight loss plan. Plans include an assortment of varying treatments and weight loss methods, such as nutritional modification, exercise objectives, GLP-1 medications, specialty supplements to promote weight loss, and regularly scheduled 1:1 support meetings with your assigned weight loss specialist.
GLP-1 Medications | Semaglutide (Ozempic Ⓡ) & Tirzepatide (Mounjaro Ⓡ)
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and improves insulin secretion. This leads to significant weight loss and better blood sugar control. Clinical trials have demonstrated that semaglutide has the potential to result in weight loss. It is recognized for its effectiveness in both weight management and glycemic control.
Trizepatide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It
acts as a dual agonist for the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, enhancing insulin
secretion, reducing appetite, and promoting weight loss. Clinical trials
suggest that Trizepatide may offer greater weight loss and improved glycemic
control compared to semaglutide, thanks to its dual receptor activity. By
targeting both receptors, Trizepatide provides a broader mechanism of
action, potentially offering enhanced benefits over semaglutide.
The FDA’s approval of Semaglutide and Trizepatide could help millions
of Americans with both obesity and cardiovascular disease lower their risk
of having a major cardiac event. Ask your CareMedica provider about how
GLP medications like Semaglutide and Trizepatide can potentially help
you.
