What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a practitioner-supervised program that focuses on long- term weight management. Unlike fad diets or quick fixes, medical weight loss provides a structured plan that includes medical evaluations, nutritional guidance, lifestyle counseling, and, when appropriate, FDA-approved medications. The goal is to help you lose weight safely and effectively while improving your overall health and reducing the risk of weight-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Understanding Semaglutide and Tirzepatide: Breakthrough Treatments for Diabetes and Weight Loss

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are cutting-edge treatments that help manage type 2 diabetes and aid in weight loss. Semaglutide works by boosting insulin levels and reducing appetite, which can lead to better blood sugar control and weight loss. It’s available as a pill or an injection. Tirzepatide takes it a step further by working with two body hormones to lower blood sugar more effectively and help shed weight significantly. Both medications are also known to improve heart health in people with type 2 diabetes, making them important tools for modern health care.

 

Benefits of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide:

  • Substantial Weight Loss: Both medications can significantly reduce body weight, with some individuals experiencing a 10-15% reduction when combined with diet and exercise.
  • Enhanced Appetite Control: They help control your appetite by making you feel full sooner, which reduces the urge to overeat.
  • Improved Blood Sugar Management: Particularly effective for those with type 2 diabetes, both drugs aid in maintaining healthier blood sugar levels.
  • Convenient Dosing: Semaglutide requires a once-weekly injection, while tirzepatide follows a similar dosing schedule, making both easy to fit into daily life.
  • Sustained Weight Management: These medications support long-term weight management, helping to maintain weight loss and reduce the likelihood of regaining weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that helps with weight loss by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1. This hormone regulates appetite, helping you feel full sooner and reducing food intake. When used alongside a healthy diet and exercise, Semaglutide can lead to significant and sustained weight loss.

Semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection. At Hesed Healthcare, we provide guidance on how to use the injection safely and effectively as part of your weight loss program.

The key benefits of Semaglutide include significant weight loss, improved appetite control, better blood sugar management (especially for those with type 2 diabetes), and the convenience of a once-weekly injection. It also supports long-term weight maintenance.

Tirzepatide is another FDA-approved medication for weight loss that works similarly to Semaglutide but offers an added benefit. It targets two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which both play a role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. This dual-action mechanism makes Tirzepatide even more effective for some individuals in achieving significant weight loss.

At Hesed Healthcare, we provide personalized consultations to determine the best weight loss strategy for you. We consider your medical history, weight loss goals, and any other health conditions to recommend either Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or another appropriate treatment option.

At Hesed, our mission is to revolutionize healthcare by providing direct, personalized, accessible, and affordable direct primary care.
