Tirzepatide is a game changer in medical weight loss for many reasons! It is a medication that has been proven to aid in weight loss and help keep weight off! Tirzeaptide mimics Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (GIP) in the body, which can increase insulin secretion and slow down gastric emptying. This is the body's function of your stomach emptying food. This can suppress your appetite, which helps you eat less and lose weight.
This medication is used to help control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, but it has been shown to increase the ability to lose weight.
While using Tirzepatide, one can expect to have a lowered relative preference for fatty, energy-dense foods. Results also show a weight loss average of 20% from baseline after 68 weeks (about 16 months).
