Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! In fact, we encourage our patients to engage in regular exercise while taking tirzepatide. Doing so can complement its effects and give you even better results.
It is important that you store your tirzepatide in a cool, dark place. That’s why we recommend storing it in the refrigerator, to ensure its effectiveness and avoid premature expiration.
How Tirzepatide Works
Tirzepatide mimics the actions of two natural hormones in your body: GLP-1 and GIP. It helps manage blood sugar levels and enhance insulin secretion in response to eating. Additionally, tirzepatide slows the process in which food leaves your stomach—you’ll feel fuller for longer amounts of time.
Overall, this process typically leads to a reduction in overall calorie intake. It supports a more manageable and sustainable weight loss program, especially for people who have struggled in the past.
Benefits of Tirzepatide
Impactful Results: Tirzepatide has proven to be an effective treatment for achieving significant weight loss. It addresses both your appetite and blood sugar levels, helping people easily achieve and maintain a healthier weight.
Blood Sugar Control: Tirzepatide offers enhanced blood sugar management, which is especially beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Because it boosts insulin production and reduces glucagon release, many patients enjoy lasting stabilization throughout the day.
Convenience: You perform your injections at home once a week. If you’re unsure about how to administer tirzepatide, we can help! Our caring team will guide you through the entire process.
Lasting Benefits: One of our favorite parts about tirzepatide is the long-lasting results our patients often enjoy. Additionally, by helping patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight, we can reduce the risk of conditions associated with being overweight (heart disease, hypertension).
