What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that acts like the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). You take it as a weekly injection under your skin.
GLP-1 increases your body’s production of insulin, which slows digestion.
When the stomach takes more time to empty itself of food, it sends signals of “fullness” to the brain. The end result of this process is a powerful appetite suppression effect based on the patient’s own natural insulin production.
Slow digestion also helps stabilize your blood sugar levels, giving you more energy throughout the day. As a result, you feel more energized, less fatigued and moody, and cravings are reduced.
Semaglutide is not a stimulant and doesn’t have the same side effects, such as agitation or a potentially higher risk of cardiovascular events.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide works by affecting two hormones that are released after eating. The two hormones are GLP-1 and GIP by mimicking they way these two hormones work.
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1 and GIP stands for the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide. These hormones are involved in blood sugar control. In healthy people, these hormones message the pancreas to release insulin after eating and message the liver to lower the amount of glucose it’s producing. These instructions, when obeyed, make people feel full so they stop eating, which slows down digestion and lowers blood sugar.
Tirzepatide works by acting like these hormones and improves blood sugar control.
So, the drug helps the body release insulin when blood sugar is high, and helps the body remove excess sugar from the blood; it stops the liver from making and releasing too much sugar. In addition, it helps people to eat less.
Tirzepatide is more effective at lowering blood sugar and weight loss in type 2 diabetes patients than Semaglutide, an injected GLP-1 receptor agonist, or two commonly used forms of insulin when used in this setting.
Who Should Take These Medications?
Compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can be prescribed to obese adults (with a BMI of at least 30) or overweight adults with a BMI of at least 27 and one or more weight-related health issues, not including diabetes.
You can choose compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide if diet and exercise alone aren’t working or if you are at risk of cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attacks or stroke).
How Well Do These Medications Work?
Clinical studies show that semaglutide is far more effective than diet and exercise alone in people experiencing difficulty losing weight.
In one clinical trial of 957 obese volunteers, injecting a 0.4mg dose of semaglutide led to an average weight loss of 13.8% over one year. Semaglutide was used together with diet and exercise, but these measures alone resulted in an average of 2.3% weight loss.
Another study found an average weight loss of 15% in the volunteers taking semaglutide. Almost 70% lost at least 10% of their body weight. If you weigh 300 pounds, 15% of your body weight is 45 pounds.
These effect sizes can prevent the need to turn to drastic weight loss surgery or stimulants with unpleasant or even dangerous side effects.
Contraindications
There are a few contraindications to taking GLP-1s in our weight loss program including:
family history or history of medullary thyroid cancer
diagnosis of Diabetes Type 1 or 2
significant kidney disease
pregnant or desiring to get pregnant in next 3 months (We require all female clients to commit to using some form of birth control OR have a plan in place to avoid pregnancy while on the these medications and for 2 months following completion )

Lipotropic formulations include these essential B vitamins and amino acids:
L-Carnitine – An amino acid required for the transport and breakdown of body fat for the generation of metabolic energy. When administered by injection, nutrients like L-carnitine can be completely absorbed by the body.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – Assists in the catabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, as well as the sending of signals for DNA repair. Vitamin B3 helps to modulate anabolic reactions such as synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids. It is also thought to increase the basal metabolic rate.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) – Helps convert stored carbohydrates and other nutrients to glucose to maintain normal blood sugar levels and reduce cravings. Vitamin B6 can help with weight loss by having a stimulating effect on the thyroid. This can be especially helpful for hormone balance in women when water retention is an issue. It also helps maintain the health of the immune system.
Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Helps convert carbohydrates into energy. This helps with workouts and helps all cellular processes speed up to an efficient level. Vitamin B1 also helps with mental acuity.
Hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12) – Helps with the conversion of food into energy, which makes it a great metabolic booster. B12 works by helping with the breakdown of fatty acids in the body, which helps with energy production. It also helps improve digestion and protein synthesis, which aid in muscle growth.
Lipotropic-PLUS offers the benefits of these additional fat-busting agents:
Methionine – Acts as a lipotropic agent to assist in the breakdown of fats within the liver. Methionine helps to lower cholesterol, thereby preventing excess fat buildup in the liver and circulatory system. It also is helpful in preventing and relieving fatigue.
Inositol - Promotes the health of cell structures and nerve synapses. It aids in the metabolism of fats, helps reduce cholesterol, and participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.
Choline - Supports the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products.
**Lidocaine is added to reduce discomfort during administration. For those with lidocaine allergy, we can special order medication without lidocaine. This is not appropriate for pregnant or breast feeding clients
