GLP-1 Weight Loss
Tirzepatide
A dual-agonist GLP-1 / GIP program for patients seeking advanced metabolic results — physician-directed, and grounded in the lifestyle habits that make them last.
Available by consultation
Clinical Overview
How Tirzepatide works
The first medication in its class to engage two metabolic pathways simultaneously — and the reason its trial outcomes set a new ceiling.
Engages the GIP receptor
Targets glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide — a metabolic pathway most weight-management medications do not address.
Engages the GLP-1 receptor
Simultaneously mimics GLP-1 — suppressing appetite and slowing how quickly food leaves the stomach.
Combined metabolic effect
The dual mechanism produces the highest average weight loss recorded in any GLP-1-class clinical trial to date.
Candidacy Profiling
A considered fit, not a funnel.
Adults seeking the most advanced GLP-1-class protocol, with the supervision and titration discipline that this medication requires.

- Members for whom faster onset and higher trial averages are clinically appropriate
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy

Clinical Safety
No medication is right for everyone.
Common side effects
Most common during titration: nausea, decreased appetite, and digestive changes. Typically mild and resolve as the body adjusts to each step in the protocol.

Clinical Experience
From members of the Tirzepatide program.
- “
I had done six months on Semaglutide and plateaued. The switch to Tirzepatide was a second wind. I am down another twenty-two pounds in four months and feel like myself again.
- “
Honestly the speed surprised me. By week three I had to start setting reminders to eat — that had never been my problem. My energy is up and my labs are better than they have been in a decade.
- “
I was skeptical that the higher cost was worth it. After comparing my own progress to friends on Semaglutide, the answer for me was yes. The provider helped me think it through honestly.
