What Is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, meaning it activates two appetite- and metabolism-regulating hormone pathways instead of one. This dual action can lead to stronger appetite suppression, improved insulin sensitivity, and enhanced fat loss for certain patients.
Tirzepatide was originally developed for metabolic disease and has demonstrated significant weight loss results in clinical studies.

How Tirzepatide Supports Weight Loss (The Biology)

Tirzepatide works through two complementary mechanisms:

GLP-1 Activation

• Reduces hunger signals in the brain
• Slows stomach emptying
• Increases feelings of fullness

GIP Activation

• Enhances insulin sensitivity
• Improves metabolic efficiency
• Supports more effective fat utilization

Together, these pathways help:

• Reduce appetite and food noise
• Improve metabolic response to calories
• Support greater total weight loss for some patients

Who Is a Good Candidate for Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide may be a good option if you:

• Have significant weight to lose
• Have tried Semaglutide with limited results
• Experience strong appetite drive or metabolic resistance
• Want a more aggressive medically supervised option
• Prefer in-person or telehealth treatment

Your provider will review your medical history and weight loss goals to determine if Tirzepatide is appropriate.

What to Expect From Tirzepatide Treatment

1️⃣ Initial Medical Consultation

Meet with a licensed provider in-person or via telehealth to assess eligibility and discuss expectations.

2️⃣ Prescription & Gradual Dose Titration

Tirzepatide is started at a low dose and slowly increased to reduce side effects and improve tolerance.

3️⃣ Ongoing Monitoring

Follow-ups allow for dose adjustments, side-effect management, and progress tracking.

💡 Labs are not required for every patient. They are ordered only when clinically indicated.

Expected Side Effects of Tirzepatide

Common side effects are similar to other injectable weight loss medications and may include:

• Nausea
• Feeling overly full
• Decreased appetite
• Occasional digestive discomfort

Most side effects improve with time and careful dose increases.

Who Should NOT Use Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide may not be appropriate for individuals who:

• Have certain thyroid or endocrine conditions
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have contraindications determined by a medical provider

Your provider will review all risks and eligibility factors during your consultation.

Tirzepatide vs. Semaglutide

Tirzepatide activates two hormone pathways (GLP-1 + GIP), while Semaglutide activates one (GLP-1). Some patients experience greater weight loss with Tirzepatide, while others respond well to Semaglutide.
