Semaglutide And Tirzepatide For Weight Loss​

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are two powerful, FDA-approved medications that help people lose weight in a different and more effective way than traditional diet pills or supplements. Instead of just speeding up your metabolism or suppressing appetite like many other options, these weight loss medications work by copying natural hormones your body already makes to help control hunger and blood sugar.

 

Semaglutide works by emulating the functions of a hormone called GLP-1, which tells your brain you’re full and helps keep your blood sugar steady. Tirzepatide takes it a step further by also mimicking another hormone called GIP, which works together with GLP-1 to reduce appetite and improve how your body handles food. This double effect can lead to even more weight loss and better blood sugar control.

 

These medications are not only about shedding pounds—they also help improve heart health, support long-term energy, and make it easier to keep the weight off. Because they target the root causes of weight gain, like hunger and insulin resistance, they offer a smarter and more sustainable path to healthy weight loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight loss

Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1 in the body. It stimulates the production and release of insulin and inhibits the production of glucagon, helping to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide may also help to reduce food intake and promote weight loss in people who are obese.

Tirzepatide works by mimicking two natural hormones in the body called GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). These hormones help regulate blood sugar and appetite. By activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, Tirzepatide increases insulin release when blood sugar is high, lowers the amount of sugar produced by the liver, slows down digestion to help you feel full longer, and reduces appetite, leading to lower food intake. This dual action helps improve blood sugar control and supports significant, sustainable weight loss.

Semaglutide is typically taken once weekly as a subcutaneous injection. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by our healthcare providers and to monitor blood sugar levels regularly while using this medication.

Tirzepatide is given as a once-weekly injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Most people use a pre-filled pen device that makes the process simple and convenient to do at home. Our Stuart team will teach you how to properly inject Tirzepatide, including choosing injection sites like the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, and how to rotate these sites to reduce irritation. Because it’s only once a week, it’s easier to stay consistent compared to daily medications.

Semaglutide (found in medications like Ozempic and Wegovy) is highly effective for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management, but like any medication, it comes with potential side effects that are important to understand.

Some of the most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain. These gastrointestinal symptoms are especially noticeable when first starting the medication or increasing the dose, though they often lessen over time.

There are also a few more serious risks to be aware of:

  • Thyroid tumors, including a rare type called medullary thyroid carcinoma, have been seen in animal studies, though it’s unclear how this translates to humans. Still, semaglutide is not recommended for people with a personal or family history of this condition.
  • Pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas, is a potential but uncommon side effect that can cause severe abdominal pain and requires medical attention.
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur, particularly if semaglutide is used alongside other diabetes medications.
  • Dizziness and fatigue can also happen, especially in the early stages of treatment.
  • Kidney function may worsen in some individuals, especially if they become dehydrated from vomiting or diarrhea.

While many people tolerate semaglutide well and see significant benefits, it’s important to weigh these potential side effects with your healthcare provider to determine if it’s the right fit for your health goals.

While tirzepatide (sold under brand names like Mounjaro and Zepbound) has shown impressive results for both blood sugar control and weight loss, it does come with potential side effects that are important to consider.

The most common side effects tend to involve the digestive system. Many patients—more than 5%—report symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These can range from mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication, especially if the dosage is increased gradually.

Other frequently reported issues include:

  • Burping and indigestion (dyspepsia), which may be uncomfortable and persistent
  • Fatigue, or a general feeling of low energy
  • Heartburn or acid reflux (GERD)
  • Injection site reactions, like redness, itching, or swelling
  • Hair thinning or hair loss, which some patients find surprising
  • Hypersensitivity reactions, which are rare but can include rash, itching, or more serious allergic responses

Though these side effects are common, they don’t affect everyone, and many people find them manageable compared to the benefits. Still, it’s important to have ongoing communication with your provider, especially if symptoms are severe or persistent. Tirzepatide isn’t for everyone, and it’s essential to weigh the potential side effects against the health goals you’re working toward.

Insurance is not required for our 8-Week Weight Loss Program at Relive Health in Stuart, FL!

Semaglutide:
Insurance coverage can vary for Semaglutide. It’s often approved when prescribed for type 2 diabetes, but coverage for weight loss is less common. Some plans may also require prior authorization or participation in a weight management program.

Tirzepatide:
Tirzepatide medication is typically covered by insurance when prescribed for type 2 diabetes, but coverage is less consistent when used for weight loss. Costs and approval requirements can vary widely depending on the plan.

While both Semaglutide and Ozempic (semaglutide injection) contain the same active ingredient, they are used for different purposes. Semaglutide is approved for weight management, while Ozempic is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes. It’s essential to consult with the Relive Health Stuart team to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.

Yes, Tirzepatide is FDA-approved and considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider. Like any medication, it may cause side effects in some people, but clinical trials have shown it to be both effective and generally well-tolerated. Your provider will review your medical history to make sure it’s a good fit for you.

Whether Semaglutide is suitable for you depends on various factors, including your medical history, current health status, and weight management goals. The weight loss specialists at Relive Health Stuart will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if Semaglutide is the right choice for you based on personalized criteria.

While semaglutide and tirzepatide are effective treatments for weight loss and type 2 diabetes, they’re not suitable for everyone. Certain individuals should avoid these medications due to potential health risks.

Who should avoid Semaglutide:

Semaglutide (found in Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus) is not recommended for individuals who have:

  • A personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) – This rare form of thyroid cancer has been linked to C-cell tumors in animal studies involving semaglutide. Although this risk hasn’t been confirmed in humans, it’s considered a serious precaution.
  • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 (MEN 2) – This genetic condition increases the risk of certain cancers, including MTC, making semaglutide unsafe.
  • A history of pancreatitis – Since semaglutide can cause inflammation of the pancreas, those with a past history should proceed with caution.
  • Severe gastrointestinal disorders – Individuals with conditions like gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) may experience worsening symptoms.

Who should avoid Tirzepatide:

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) carries similar restrictions and is contraindicated in:

  • Individuals with a personal or family history of MTC
  • Those with MEN 2, due to the same cancer-related concerns
  • People who have experienced severe gastrointestinal issues, such as chronic pancreatitis or gastroparesis
  • Patients with a known hypersensitivity to tirzepatide or any of its components

As always, anyone considering these medications should talk with their healthcare provider about their personal health history and risk factors. A thorough evaluation will help determine if semaglutide or tirzepatide is a safe and appropriate option.

It’s best to limit or avoid alcohol while taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. These medications affect blood sugar levels and slow digestion, and alcohol can interfere with both of those processes. Drinking may also increase the risk of nausea, low blood sugar, or gastrointestinal side effects. It’s essential to consult with the Relive Health Stuart clinic regarding alcohol use while on this medication.

To start, simply book your consultation online or call our Stuart location. We’ll run a 52-marker blood panel test and body composition analysis to better understand your health. From there, you’ll have a one-on-one consultation with our team to discuss your results and treatment options, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.

 While there’s no strict diet required when using Tirzepatide or Semaglutide, following a balanced, nutritious eating plan can improve weight loss results and reduce side effects. Key dietary recommendations include:

  • Eating high-protein foods to help preserve muscle mass
  • Including plenty of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables to support digestion
  • Having smaller, more frequent meals to help manage nausea and stabilize blood sugar
  • Avoiding fried, greasy, or overly sweet foods, especially early on, to minimize stomach discomfort
  • Staying well-hydrated throughout the day

Based on the results of your body composition analysis and consultation with our licensed providers, a personalized diet plan will be created just for you. This plan takes into account your individual nutritional needs, preferences, and goals, ensuring an effective and sustainable approach to help you achieve your desired outcomes. Consult with our team in Stuart for personalized guidance.

Our medical weight loss program works best for people who haven’t had success with diet and exercise alone. It’s especially helpful for those dealing with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Our team in Stuart will consult with you to see if this program is the right fit for you.

Everyone responds differently, but many start seeing results in a few months. Your progress depends on your body, commitment to the plan, and other health factors.

Some may find that one weight loss medication works better for them than others. GLP-1 agonists, like semaglutide, replicate the function of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. These medications help regulate blood sugar levels and control appetite. This makes them a strong option for those dealing with weight and related metabolic issues.

Studies indicate that the weight loss achieved with semaglutide and tirzepatide is not just a temporary fix. Many participants maintained their reduced weight over extended periods, even after stopping the medication, suggesting that both semaglutide and tirzepatide can be effective long-term solutions for weight management when combined with lifestyle changes. These medications not only support initial weight loss but also help regulate appetite and metabolism in a sustainable way.
