Weight Loss

Tirzepatide and Semaglutide

We are now excited to offer patients compounded drugs for weight loss. Tirzepatide and semaglutide work by mimicking a hormone that sends a signal to the body, telling it you’re full. By changing this, your stomach will regulate your appetite and digestion, helping you feel full longer. 

Key benefits of semaglutide/tirzepatide include:

  • Slows intestinal motility which delays how quickly your stomach digests food
    • Allows you to feel full and satisfied with small meals 
  • On average, patients lose over 15% of body weight

Frequently Asked Questions

Your consultation can be billed to insurance but your provider is not guaranteed to cover the appointment. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not covered by insurance, which requires this to be a self-pay service.

It’s imperative that before you take one of these medications a medical personnel evaluate your medical history and any other drugs that you take. This allows us to determine if you’re a good fit for this program.
