Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
Injections that prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose. In higher amounts they also interact with the parts of the brain that reduce appetite and signal a feeling of fullness.
A once-weekly injectable peptide commonly used for type-II diabetes mellitus & has been used for over 15 years for management of insulin resistance. It belongs to a drug class called glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA’s).
‣ Semaglutide is the same peptide as Ozempic & Wegovy. Consider this generic versus brand name. We source our Semaglutide through compounding pharmacies to avoid taking medication away from diabetics who need it, as well as for additional benefits such as added B12 for energy.
‣ To obtain Ozempic from a pharmacy, a patient must have a type-II diabetes mellitus diagnosis & A1C >6.5. If this applies to you, we typically prescribe Ozempic for you, pending pharmacy availability & insurance coverage.
‣ Wegovy is the only GLP-1 RA approved for weight loss. It is currently difficult to obtain certain doses, particularly the starting doses. Additionally, many insurance plans do not cover weight loss medications.
‣ Mounjaro is a dual peptide & belongs to the GLP-1 & GIP drug class. We offer Tirzepatide, the same peptide as Mounjaro, also from compounding pharmacies. Ask us more about this program.
‣ Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone that the body releases after eating. This signals the body to release insulin to lower blood sugar. By optimizing insulin management & the body’s response to insulin, the liver will not store additional sugar as fat.
‣ Semaglutide also delays gastric emptying. This makes people feel fuller for longer, consume smaller amounts of food, & thereby reduce calorie consumption. Patients also report a decrease in cravings.
‣ Most patients lose about 1-2 pounds per week or 4-8 pounds per month.

They are extremely compassionate, knowledgable, and genuinely concerned about their patients. Amanda and Bryan provide the BEST CARE and both go above and beyond to treat the WHOLE person and not just the complaint/disease. You both have found your true calling. Thank you for all that you do. I always walk out of your office looking and feeling my BEST!!Brandy McGuire2023-06-01Amanda and Bryan are amazing! They have helped me keep my thyroid on track for years, but I was so ecstatic when they started offering Semaglutide injections for weight loss. They explained all of the side effects in depth and gave me a prescription for Zofran to help manage nausea just in case I needed it (I never needed it). I went in every 4 weeks and they assessed my side effects as well as my progress and adjusted my dosage accordingly. It was the best experience and I lost 38 pounds in 5 months!! I’m so grateful for their help!!!Johnathan Allison Farris2023-04-18One stop office! The only providers I recommend to my friends and family. I have been a patient since they first opened and can’t say enough about how amazing the staff is, the service offerings and my experience.
