Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medicine that may help with blood sugar management and encourage weight reduction when used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications.
Today, there are at least a couple dozen medication options for type 2 diabetes and people who are living with obesity or are overweight.
Tirzepatide is a drug that can help you lose weight and manage your blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, obesity, or excessive body fat.
The chemical’s official category is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
Through a series of studies over the past few years, Tirzepatide has been shown to have a Big Impact on Weight Loss, A1C and Cholesterol.
How does Tirzepatide Work?
How do GLP-1 medications work?
GLP-1 medications work with your body’s natural GLP-1 receptors to regulate weight loss, and metabolic function, as well as decrease your risk of other diseases.
GLP-1s lead the pancreas to produce insulin after meals to bring down blood sugar. They also bind to receptors in the brain to suppress appetite. These receptors release chemicals that help diminish the desire to eat, reducing your hunger.
GLP-1s are natural chemicals, but don’t last long within the human body. That’s why taking GLP-1s can help reduce your weight even though your body already produces its own.
Tirzepatide works in the following ways:
Decreases Food Intake
Increases Insulin Sensitivity
Enhances First and Second Phase Insulin Secretion
Reduces Glucagon Level
Slows Gastric Emptying
Research has shown that in addition to exercise and diet changes, Champion Health and Wellness Clinics programs combined with GLP-1 medications are the most effective way to lose weight and safely keep it off.
