Boost Metabolic Health and Lose Weight
Tirzepatide (marketed under the brand name Mounjaro®) is a cutting-edge medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes that has also shown powerful weight loss benefits. It mimics two gut hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) to regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity. By targeting multiple metabolic pathways, tirzepatide helps reduce body weight and control blood sugar levels. At Pulse 360° Health, tirzepatide is used as part of a holistic medical weight loss plan to help you reclaim control of your health.
Tirzepatide Helps With:
- Excess body weight and obesity
- Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
- Uncontrolled appetite and food cravings
- High blood sugar levels
- Poor metabolic function and energy imbalance
How Does Tirzepatide Work?
Tirzepatide is a dual incretin agonist that mimics two key hormones: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These gut hormones are released after eating and help regulate blood sugar levels, insulin levels, and hunger pangs. By activating both pathways, tirzepatide offers enhanced benefits for weight loss compared to GLP-1s only. This dual-action approach provides a more comprehensive way to control hunger and promote fat loss. Here’s how it works:
Enhance Insulin Sensitivity
Tirzepatide stimulates insulin production in response to food intake, helping to lower blood sugar levels more effectively. It also enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues, enabling the body to utilize glucose more efficiently. This reduces the overall insulin burden and supports better glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
Suppress Appetite
By mimicking GLP-1 and GIP, tirzepatide acts on receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, which helps you avoid persistent hunger pangs. This leads to a natural reduction in caloric intake without the need for restrictive dieting. Over time, this contributes to sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.
Slow Gastric Emptying
Tirzepatide slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, resulting in a more gradual absorption of nutrients and a reduced spike in blood sugar after meals. This mechanism not only helps manage glucose levels but also prolongs satiety, making it easier to avoid overeating or snacking between meals and maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day.
Benefits of Tirzepatide:
- Promote significant and sustained weight loss
- Improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes
- Reduce appetite and food cravings
- Enhance insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
- Combine the benefits of GLP-1 and GIP in one injection
- Help lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease
- Administered as a convenient once-weekly injection
How is Tirzepatide Administered?
Tirzepatide is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You will use a prefilled, single-dose pen to deliver the medication just under the skin. It’s important to rotate injection sites each week to minimize irritation. The dose is usually started low and gradually increased under medical supervision to reduce side effects. Your tirzepatide plan is closely monitored to ensure safe, effective results.
How Much Weight Can I Lose With Tirzepatide?
Clinical trials have shown that patients taking tirzepatide can lose a significant amount of weight, often more than 20% of their body weight, with the highest doses. The exact results will vary based on your starting weight, dosage, and how closely you follow your personalized nutrition and activity plan. At Pulse 360° Health, we tailor your treatment to maximize safe, sustainable fat loss while preserving muscle and supporting your overall wellness goals.
