Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is challenging, especially when other methods haven’t delivered results. At Nür Aesthetics Club in Santa Clara, California, we offer GLP-1 medications, including the brand names Ozempic® (semaglutide) and Mounjaro® (tirzepatide), as well as compounded alternatives. These medications can provide effective, medically-supported assistance in weight management. Call us or schedule an appointment online to learn how GLP-1 medications can support your weight loss journey.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications are part of a group known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking a hormone produced in the gut. This hormone, called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), plays a role in regulating appetite and digestion.
Originally developed for Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications have also been found to aid in weight loss, especially when combined with lifestyle changes. By slowing down how quickly food leaves the stomach and reducing hunger, GLP-1 medications help individuals feel full on smaller portions.
How do GLP-1 medications aid in weight loss?
GLP-1 medications work by sending signals to the brain that help control appetite, reducing cravings and making it easier to consume fewer calories. This process also slows down digestion, allowing you to feel satisfied with smaller portions.
These two effects combined can help you stick to a healthier eating plan and see more sustainable weight loss results.
How are semaglutide and tirzepatide different?
While both semaglutide (Ozempic®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro™) belong to the GLP-1 class, they have some differences. Semaglutide, commonly prescribed as Ozempic®, primarily targets GLP-1 receptors.
Tirzepatide, on the other hand, acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which further enhances its ability to manage blood sugar and support weight loss. By activating an additional pathway, tirzepatide may provide enhanced weight loss effects for certain patients.
Which GLP-1 medication is right for me?
Your provider at Nür Aesthetics Club will assess your health history, weight loss goals, and personal preferences to recommend the best option for you. Both Ozempic and Mounjaro are effective, and compounded versions are also available for those looking for a more customized approach.
How can GLP-1 medications help me reach my weight loss goals?
GLP-1 medications can support weight loss by reducing hunger and helping you feel full sooner, making it easier to stick to a reduced-calorie diet. Clinical studies show that individuals who incorporate GLP-1 medications into a comprehensive weight loss plan can lose up to 15% or more of their body weight.
With consistent use, many patients experience lasting results when they combine GLP-1 medications with healthy lifestyle changes.
What results can I expect from GLP-1 medications?
While individual results vary, many people find that GLP-1 medications significantly increase their weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Your provider will monitor your progress to ensure you’re on track to reach your weight goals safely.
