How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide is in a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists. GLP-1 agonists work by stimulating your pancreas to increase insulin. This additional insulin causes the stomach to empty over a longer period of time, thus sending signals to the brain of “fullness.” The result is powerful appetite suppression. This means patients are not hungry and are able to stick with a healthy eating program to lose weight. Semaglutide also helps maintain blood sugar levels, which helps with energy and vitality throughout the day.

Our Program with Semaglutide

Semaglutide is available as an easy once-a-week injection. Oral alternatives are available as well. We will begin with a low dose and gradually increase it over the course of 16-20 weeks. This is a longer program and not a quick fix. It requires a commitment for at least 3 months to see the best results.

Our programs also incorporate weekly Vitamin Injections such as B12 and MIC injections (methionine, inositol, and choline) that help with energy and weight loss. We also have an option of body contouring using our ideal light therapy.

We pride ourselves in regularly consulting, coaching, motivating, and working with the patient to make sure that you are staying the course and on track to achieve your weight loss goals. Regular monitoring keeps patients on track and allows us to intervene if dietary or lifestyle changes are affecting efficiency in your weight loss.

We also offer a wide variety of reduced-calorie meal plans that are designed to help you lose weight and keep the weight off!!!

Phentermine vs Semaglutide

Phentermine is a widely-used diet pill and appetite suppressant that is more affordable than Semaglutide but is only approved for short-term use and has lots of side effects. Semaglutide, on the other hand, is a better option for those looking at long-term weight loss solutions. Semaglutide helps with Type 2 diabetes, and it improves your glycemic index.

What is Tirzepatide?

At Waters Edge Medical Clinic and Spa, we also offer another injectable weight loss medication called Tirzepatide, commonly sold under the brand name Mounjaro by Eli Lilly. Originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, it has gained attention for its effectiveness in promoting significant weight loss.

How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. These two hormones, known as incretins, help regulate insulin levels and are naturally released in response to food intake. By mimicking the action of GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), tirzepatide:

  1. Reduces Appetite: By increasing feelings of fullness and reducing hunger.
  2. Slows Digestion: Helps stabilize blood sugar and reduces the urge to eat.
  3. Promotes Insulin Release: When blood sugar levels are high, it prompts the body to release insulin, which assists in blood sugar management.


The way that Tirzepatide is administered is just like Semaglutide. The medication is prescribed as a weekly injection in the upper arm, thigh, buttocks or abdomen.

Benefits of Tirzepatide

If you’re obese or overweight with a weight-related health condition, Tirzepatide can offer you some or all of the following benefits:

  • Improved ability to lose weight
  • Reduction of unhealthy cravings
  • Helps to reduce caloric intake and avoid overeating
  • Reduced blood sugar
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Slimmer, more toned figure
  • Reduced risk of many health conditions

How much weight can you lose with Tirzepatide?

The results of Tirzepatide can vary depending on the patient, their lifestyle habits, and the dosage of medication. Studies have shown that patients taking Tirzepatide weekly for 72 weeks can expect to lose between 15% and 22.5% of their body weight.

Although some patients see results sooner, you can typically expect to notice significant weight loss after taking Tirzepatide for approximately 8 to 12 weeks.

Side effects of Tirzepatide?

Although they are usually mild, Tirzepatide has been shown to cause certain side effects in some patients. The most common side effects include the following:

  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Tiredness
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Upset stomach
  • Injection site swelling, itching, or redness
  • Cost, as insurance may not cover it for weight loss.

Is Tirzepatide Right For You?

While tirzepatide can be highly effective, it is typically prescribed when lifestyle changes alone haven’t achieved desired weight loss results. It’s best to have a free consultation at Waters Edge Medical Clinic to see if Tirzepatide is right for you.
