What You Need To Know About Semaglutide, Tirzepatide and GLP-1/GIP Injections for Weight Loss
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1 and GIP stands for gastric inhibitory peptide. They are hormones produced by your body naturally. GLP-1 and GIP are produced when you eat food. GLP-1 causes your body to release more insulin to lower blood sugar and GIP also helps increase the sensitivity of insulin in your body.
GLP-1 and GIP medications, including Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Ozempic, and Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound enhance the production of insulin to stabilize and lower blood sugar levels and decrease appetite. These medications have now been approved by the FDA for weight loss. GLP-1 and GIP medications have also demonstrated benefits in increasing heart health, strengthening muscles and bones, and improving liver, kidney, and lung function.
You are an ideal candidate for GLP-1/GIP medications if you:
- Have a BMI of 27 or above
- Have obesity associated conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol
- Need an alternative to diet and exercise
- Are committed to eating a healthy diet
- Are committed to living a healthy, active, lifestyle
