What are Semiglutide / Tirzepatide (GLP-1) for Weight Loss?

Semiglutide and Tirzepatide are used to promote weight loss.  They are a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist that helps to control blood sugar levels and works by decreasing appitite.  Changes to diet and exercise are often combined with this medication. 

Common brand names are: Mounjaro, Ozempic & Wegovy. 

We offer a number of options when it comes to your weight loss solution. You may choose one or all of these options in your personalized program. We are also the only weight loss facility in Northern Virginia offering micro-dosing of GLP-1 medication.

 How Effective is this Medication??

There have been several anti-obesity medications that help to suppress appetite and achieve weight loss, but GLP-1 for weight loss performs on a whole new level. 

An early study of 2,000 adults compared people using this type of medication plus a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without this medication. 

After 48 weeks, half of the participants using GLP-1 lost 20% of their body weight and nearly a third lost 25%.  Participants who incorporated only lifestyle changes lost about 2.4% of their weight.

Initial Consultation

Before you can begin your new journey, we must first determine what your goals are and what program will be best for you.

Our programs may not be for everyone, so a detailed health & weight assessment is necessary.  This initial step is vital in determining your weight loss goal, strategy, implementation and course of treatment.

The cost for the initial consultation is $49.  The initial assessment should take no more than 30 minutes.  If you continue with one of our weight loss programs, the consultation fee will be deducted from the cost of the program.

Note:  The initial consultation only discusses your goals, our programs and makes sure this is going to be your absolute best way to lose weight and keep that weight off for good.  The consultation is not a complete assessment and no medication can be prescribed.  This will all be done after we determine the best program for you.

Semaglutide / Tirzepatide for Weight Loss

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are compound medications used to assist with weight loss treatment. They have demonstrated their efficacy in reducing appetite and food intake through clinical trials. By activating brain receptors responsible for hunger and satiety, they induce a sensation of fullness and diminishes the desire to eat.

In weight loss trials, individuals administered with semaglutide or tirzepatide medications experienced significant reductions in body weight and BMI compared to those who received a placebo. This medication is injected once a week and complements a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that semaglutide / tirzepatide medications should not replace healthy lifestyle changes and must be used under healthcare provider guidance.  In addition, it’s important to note that, like any medication, semaglutide / tirzepatide may not be suitable for everyone.
