Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss helps support sustainable weight management through a personalized approach. The service begins with an integrative assessment of your overall health, addressing factors that may have hindered past weight loss efforts. Under the guidance of Bellava’s experienced provider, a tailored plan is developed incorporating diet, exercise, nutrition, and medications such as compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide. Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, suppresses appetite by affecting brain regions that regulate hunger and slows stomach emptying to maintain satiety. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 hormone that also aids and weight loss from a reduced appetite. This holistic strategy ensures that each aspect of your wellness is optimized, making it suitable for various areas, such as reducing body fat and enhancing overall health.

What is Semaglutide, and how does it work for weight loss?

Semaglutide is a mimic of the natural hormone GLP-1 and belongs to the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) class. The body’s intestines release GLP-1 in response to food consumption, aiding in managing blood sugar levels by promoting insulin release and diminishing glucagon secretion. Administered via injection, Semaglutide serves as a pharmaceutical option for patients.

What is Tirzepatide, and how does it work for weight loss?

Tirzepatide stands out as another GLP-1 RA, showcasing a unique dual mechanism of action. In addition to its impact on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor, which is another player in blood sugar regulation post-meals, Tirzepatide offers a combined approach. By addressing both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, this medication, unlike others, aims to deliver a more potent and effective control over blood sugar levels.

What is the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

These medications share similarities for identical conditions. Tirzepatide, a recent innovation, excels in weight loss efficacy. However, it’s pricier. For cost-effectiveness, Semaglutide is advised initially. If weight goals aren’t met with Semaglutide, switching to Tirzepatide is a viable option.
