SIGN UP TODAYHow GLP-1 medications work
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications first developed for type 2 diabetes and now FDA-approved for chronic weight management. Semaglutide (sold as Wegovy for weight management) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist: it mimics a gut hormone that signals fullness, slows how quickly the stomach empties, and reduces appetite. Tirzepatide (sold as Zepbound) acts on two receptors, GLP-1 and GIP, which is why clinical trials have generally shown greater average weight reduction with tirzepatide than with semaglutide.
In head-to-head trial data, tirzepatide produced larger average weight loss than semaglutide over comparable periods. Individual results vary and depend on dose, adherence, and lifestyle changes. Your provider determines which medication and plan fit your history and goals.
What are GLP-1s?
GLP-1s, also known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. They mimic the action of the natural hormone GLP-1, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, these injections help control hunger and reduce calorie intake, leading to weight loss.

Are you a candidate?
Medical weight-loss medication is generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes. It is not appropriate for everyone. During your consultation, our medical team reviews your health history, current medications, and goals, and determines whether semaglutide or tirzepatide is a fit or whether another approach makes more sense.
This is a medically supervised program, not a prescription-only transaction. If body contouring is also a goal, ask about pairing weight management with CoolSculpting Elite or Emsculpt once your weight stabilizes.

Both are effective. Trials generally show greater average weight loss with tirzepatide because it acts on two hormone pathways, but the right choice depends on your health history, tolerance, and goals, which your provider evaluates.
Both are once-weekly injections you can administer at home after instruction. Wegovy (semaglutide) is also available as a daily tablet as of 2026.
The most common are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, that usually ease over time. Your provider reviews the full profile and how to manage it.
Yes. These medications work best alongside nutrition and activity changes, which is why our program is supervised rather than medication alone.
