Semaglutide/Tirzepatide is a glucagon like peptide (GLP-1) made of amino acids and positively affects the reward pathway.  It is classified a GL1-P agonist which means it acts as the naturally occurring hormone, Glucagon. Glucagon stimulates insulin secretion and lowers body weight by decreasing food intake and by enhancing energy expenditure. It is a natural weight loss medication.  It works by decreasing appetite through a reduction in gastric emptying time, stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucose in the bloodstream. Additionally, the medication acts as a neurotransmitter that interacts with multiple regions of the brain that effect hunger, satiety and food reward.

How does it work?

Semaglutide/Tirzepatide controls the appetite through the GLP-1 receptors in the brain.

GLP-1 is a hormone and acts upon cells in the GI tract where it stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas in order to move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. It controls appetite by slowing the emptying time of the stomach.  It also works in the brain as a neurotransmitter to control hunger, satiety and food reward.

Is it safe?

Studies have shown that once weekly dosing of Semaglutide/Tirzepatide provides safe, well tolerated and substantial weight loss for individuals who are overweight.
