APPETITE CONTROL & INSULIN RESISTANCE

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic weight management in people with obesity or overweight with related health problems.  It mimics the action of the natural hormone GLP-1to regulate blood sugar and appetite.  It is intended to be used with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity​.

  • Improved Blood Sugar Control

    • Lowers A1C:  Effective at reducing hemoglobin A1C levels in people with type 2 diabetes​

    • Stabilizes glucose levels:  Reduces both fasting and post-meal blood sugar

    • Works independently of insulin, making it suitable for early diabetes management

  • Significant Weight Loss​

    • Reduces appetite and food intake.  ​

    • Slows gastric empting, promoting a longer feeling of fullness

  • Cardiovascular Benefits​

    • Lowers risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death) in people with type 2 Diabetes and established heart disease​

    • Reduces blood pressure and improves lipid profiles in some patients

  • Improved Quality of Life​

    • Better glycemic control, weight loss, and appetite regulation can lead to improved physical and emotional well-being and higher treatment satisfaction.​

*Must be seen as a patient and have regular follow up appointments*

Tirzepatide​

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor agonist that is used for weight loss, to help lose weight and keep weight off.

  • Slows gastric emptying from the stomach into the small intestine, which may m ake you feel full more quickly and for a longer period.  

  • Reduces appetite

  • Enhances insulin sensitivity

  • Supports metabolic balance

Tirzepatide mimics natural gut hormones which:

  • Decrease appetite and food cravings

  • Promote a feeling of fullness

  • Help reduce body weight over time when combined with lifestyle changes

​

*Must be seen as a patient and have regular follow up appointments*

Retatrutide

Retatrutide is a promising next-generation metabolic agent in development, combining three hormonal pathways to potentially deliver stronger weight loss and metabolic benefits than current therapies.  It is an investigational triple-receptor agonist designed to act on GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors.  

 

The idea: by engaging all three pathways, it may yield superior weight loss and metabolic benefits compared to agents targeting fewer pathways.

  • Slows gastric emptying, suppresses appetite, enhances energy metabolism via triple receptor engagement

  • Decrease appetite and food cravings

  • Enhances insulin sensitivity

  • Supports metabolic balance

  • Promote a feeling of fullness

  • Help reduce body weight over time when combined with lifestyle changes

​

*Must be seen as a patient and have regular follow up appointments*

MOTS-C

MOTS-c plays a crucial role in metabolic regulation and has been linked to various beneficial effects such as:

  • Enhancing Insulin Sensitivity

  • Obesity and Metabolic Disorder Management

  • Exercise Endurance
