what to expect: GlowFit - Tirzepatide

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a groundbreaking medication designed to aid in weight management and improve metabolic health. It belongs to a class of drugs known as GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide- 1) receptor agonists.  Tirzepatide therefore targets not just one but two hormone receptors in the body.  These two hormones control our response to food intake.

How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide works by mimicking natural hormones in the body to regulate appetite and glucose levels. It stimulates insulin production in response to elevated glucose levels, reduces glucagon secretion, creating a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger¹.  Therefore, it allows patients to feel fuller faster and for a longer period of time.  It also slows down digestion by reducing the production of stomach acid and therefore slows gastric emptying.

Why Tirzepatide over Semaglutide? Fewer side effects, more weight loss.

Tirzepetide has fewer side effects compared to semaglutide, and the average weight loss is higher. The most common side effects from these drugs are nausea and vomiting– much less with tirzepatide. Incidence of more severe side effects such as gallbladder disease and pancreatitis is also much lower.
