What Is Medical Weight Loss With GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments that work by mimicking natural hormones involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. These medications help reduce appetite, increase satiety, and support metabolic health when combined with lifestyle guidance and medical oversight.
Our NYC medical weight loss programs are personalized and structured to prioritize long-term success and patient safety.
GLP-1 Medications We Offer
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and reduce caloric intake by enhancing feelings of fullness. It is administered as a weekly injection and is widely used in medically supervised weight management programs.
Tirzepitide
Tirzepitide is a dual-acting medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offering enhanced appetite control and metabolic support. It may be recommended for patients seeking additional weight-loss support under medical supervision.
Your provider will determine the most appropriate medication based on your medical history, goals, and response to treatment.
