What are GLP-1s?

The GLP-1 class of peptides – which includes both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide (brand named Monjaro and Ozempic/Wegovy) – was originally used to treat type 2 diabetes. It mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite and insulin levels. By slowing gastric emptying and increasing feelings of fullness, GLP-1s helps reduce calorie intake, promoting effective weight loss. At RESTOR Medical Spa, we combine these amazing peptides with vitamins and supplements as part of a comprehensive, personalized weight loss program tailored to individual needs to help you lose weight and keep it off.

How do GLP-1s promote weight loss?

GLP-1 peptides – like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide – promote weight loss through several mechanisms. Primarily, they mimic the hormone GLP-1, which plays a critical role in regulating appetite. They act to increase feelings of fullness, reduce overall food intake and suppress appetite. This helps individuals control their cravings and make healthier eating choices.

Additionally, GLP-1s like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide slow gastric emptying, meaning that food stays in the stomach longer. This prolongs the sensation of fullness after meals, further decreasing the urge to eat frequently. The combination of appetite suppression, reduced cravings, and delayed gastric emptying creates a powerful effect that supports sustained weight loss.

Am I a suitable candidate for weight loss with GLP-1s?

You may be a suitable candidate for weight loss with a GLP-1 like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide if you have a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 with weight-related conditions like hypertension or type 2 diabetes. It’s also ideal for those who have struggled to achieve sustainable results with other methods and for individuals wanting to maintain their desired weight and prevent weight regain. A consultation at RESTOR Medical Spa will help determine what type of medical weight loss fits your health goals and needs.
