​GLP-1 Weight Loss Program at Andrea Bariatric Clinic
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
​
GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®), Liraglutide (Saxenda®), and Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) are a revolutionary class of medications to help with weight loss. They are recognized for their powerful, science-backed role in weight loss and long-term weight management.

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) – Next Generation Weight Loss Medication
​
What Is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) is one of the latest and most advanced injectable medications for medical weight management. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, it has shown remarkable weight loss results in clinical studies — often greater than those seen with earlier GLP-1 medications such as Saxenda® or Ozempic®.
Mounjaro is unique because it is a dual-action medication, targeting two key hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism:
-
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1)
-
GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)
​
By mimicking both hormones, Mounjaro helps your body manage hunger, control cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity — leading to sustainable fat loss and better metabolic health.
​
Benefits of Mounjaro for Weight Loss
-
Significant Fat Reduction: Clinical trials have shown average weight loss of up to 23% of total body weight with continued use.
-
Dual Hormone Effect: Helps reduce appetite while improving how your body processes food and stores energy.
-
Improved Blood Sugar Control: Supports patients with prediabetes, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome.
-
Preserves Lean Muscle Mass: When combined with balanced nutrition and strength-based exercise.
-
Weekly Dosing: Convenient once-a-week injection for consistent results with minimal disruption.
​

Important Safety Notes

Dehydration or gallbladder issues

Low blood sugar (especially if combined with diabetes medication)

Ozempic (Semaglutide) – Transforming Weight and Metabolic Health
What Is Ozempic?
Ozempic® (Semaglutide) is a groundbreaking medication that supports both weight loss and metabolic health. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has become one of the most effective tools in medical weight management.
It belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the body’s natural hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) — a key regulator of appetite, digestion, and blood sugar balance.
By enhancing this natural pathway, Ozempic helps you feel full longer, control cravings, and eat less, leading to gradual and sustainable weight loss.
​
How Ozempic Works for Weight Loss
-
Appetite Control: Acts on the brain’s satiety center to reduce hunger and food cravings.
-
Slower Digestion: Helps you feel satisfied with smaller meals by slowing gastric emptying.
-
Improved Metabolism: Enhances insulin sensitivity and stabilizes blood sugar levels.
-
Reduced Fat Storage: Supports a healthier body composition when paired with balanced nutrition and movement.
When used correctly under medical supervision, patients can achieve 10–15% or more body weight reduction, along with meaningful improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar control.
