Tirzepatide info
Tirzepatide has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for type 2 diabetes and obesity, offering exceptional benefits:
1. Unmatched Weight Loss: In clinical trials (SURMOUNT-1), tirzepatide showed average weight reductions of up to 22.5%, surpassing most available therapies.
2. Effective Glucose Control: It significantly lowers HbA1c (up to 2.4%), making it one of the most effective diabetes treatments.
3. Dual Mechanism: Its unique dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonism enhances insulin secretion, improves metabolic efficiency, and regulates appetite better than GLP-1 alone.
4. Cardiometabolic Benefits: Tirzepatide improves lipid profiles, reduces blood pressure, and may lower the risk of cardiovascular events.
5. User-Friendly Dosing: It’s a once-weekly injection, improving adherence and convenience for patients.
6. Transformative Potential: With its dual-action approach, it is being explored for expanded indications, including NASH and cardiovascular prevention.
Tirzepatide represents a significant leap forward in addressing obesity and diabetes, offering patients improved outcomes and quality of life.

Weight Loss FAQ
What types of weight loss programs do you offer?
We offer personalized plans that include dietary counseling, medical weight management, behavioral strategies, and, if needed, FDA-approved weight loss medications.
Do I need a referral to join the clinic?
No, you don’t need a referral. You can schedule a consultation directly to discuss your goals and options.
How is your program different from commercial weight loss programs?
Our approach is evidence-based, focusing on your medical history, lifestyle, and overall health. We provide individualized care, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Do you prescribe weight loss medications?
Yes, we prescribe FDA-approved medications when appropriate, but only after evaluating your medical history and current health.
Do you treat underlying health conditions related to weight gain?
Absolutely. We address conditions such as insulin resistance, PCOS, hypothyroidism, and sleep apnea as part of your weight loss plan.
What happens during the first visit?
Your first visit includes a detailed medical history review, body composition analysis, and discussion of your weight loss goals. Together, we create a tailored plan.
Does insurance cover the cost of visits or medications?
Insurance coverage varies depending on your provider and plan. We can assist in verifying coverage and provide cost estimates.
What is the cost of the program if I pay out of pocket?
Costs vary based on the services you need, but we’ll provide a transparent breakdown during your initial consultation.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Weight loss varies for everyone, but we focus on sustainable, long-term results rather than rapid weight loss. We aim for 1-2 pounds per week or other goals that suit your health.
How long will I need to stay in the program?
It depends on your goals and progress. Many patients stay for 6-12 months to develop sustainable habits, but shorter or longer durations are possible.

We’re here for ongoing support. You can return at any time for a refresher or adjustments to your plan.
Do you provide nutritional counseling?
Yes, we offer comprehensive counseling to help you build sustainable eating habits tailored to your preferences.
Will I need to exercise?
Physical activity is encouraged but tailored to your ability and preferences. We’ll guide you on how to gradually incorporate exercise into your routine.
