Medical Weightloss: The Rundown

While lifestyle changes like nutrition, exercise, and stress management are essential, sometimes the body needs extra support to reach and maintain a healthy weight. That’s where medical weight loss comes in. We offer both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Many patients report noticeable results within just a few weeks, with continued progress over time when combined with healthy habits.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone plays a role in regulating appetite, blood sugar, and digestion.

When used for weight loss, Semaglutide:

• Helps reduce appetite and cravings

• Slows down digestion, so you feel fuller for longer

• Supports healthy blood sugar control

• Promotes steady and sustained weight loss

  
  

What is Tirzepatide?

Unlike Semaglutide, Tirzepatide targets two hormones: GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). Clinical studies have shown that patients on Tirzepatide often achieve greater weight reduction than what is seen with Semaglutide alone. 

This dual action makes Tirzepatide especially powerful:

• Reduces appetite and food cravings

• Improves insulin sensitivity

• Helps regulate blood sugar more effectively

• Promotes even greater weight loss compared to single-hormone treatments

  
  

Many patients report noticeable results within just a few weeks, with continued progress over time when combined with healthy habits. We require a personalized consultation with our nurse practitioners before starting your journey.

At Paradise, we take a personalized approach, combining these advanced treatments with nutritional guidance, lifestyle support, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your success.
