How it works:

Semaglutide, when used for weight loss, works by influencing several physiological mechanisms related to appetite and food intake. Here's how semaglutide helps with weight loss:

1. Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone naturally produced by the gut in response to food consumption. It plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and food intake. Semaglutide mimics the action of GLP-1, which can influence the brain's hunger and fullness signals. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, semaglutide reduces feelings of hunger and promotes a sense of fullness.

2. Slowed Gastric Emptying: Semaglutide also slows down the emptying of the stomach. This can help individuals feel satisfied for longer periods after meals, reducing the desire to eat again shortly after eating.

3. Lower Caloric Intake: Due to appetite suppression and slower gastric emptying, individuals using semaglutide typically consume fewer calories, which contributes to weight loss.

4. Weight-Related Health Improvements: Besides its effects on weight, semaglutide may have other positive impacts on health, such as improving glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes, reducing blood pressure, and potentially decreasing the risk of cardiovascular events.

5. Behavioral Changes: Semaglutide is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight management program, which may include dietary and lifestyle modifications. The medication helps patients adhere to these changes by reducing cravings and making it easier to control portion sizes.

 

Pensacola Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro) - 12-week package $1399.

Lose 20 pounds or 10% of your body weight with this program guaranteed, or get your money back. *see conditions below*

Includes:

-12 weeks of the Tirzepatide medication

-Monthly Visits with the Nurse Practitioner to supervise progress

-Weigh IN's, Measurements, individualized calorie evaluations, and dietary plans

-Rx's for Zofran and Phentermine $99 value (if needed)

-Weekly B-12/Lipotropic (fat burning combo) injection *$360 value

*Payment plan is available with a credit card on file.

How does it work:

1. Mechanism of Action: Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It works by targeting two different hormones involved in glucose and energy metabolism:

   • GLP-1 Receptor Activation: Tirzepatide stimulates GLP-1 receptors, leading to increased insulin secretion from the pancreas, reduced glucagon secretion (which decreases glucose production in the liver), and slowed gastric emptying. These effects help regulate blood sugar levels and promote satiety, leading to reduced food intake and weight loss.

   • GIP Receptor Activation: Tirzepatide also activates GIP receptors, which further enhances insulin secretion and helps regulate glucose metabolism.

2. Appetite Suppression: By mimicking the action of GLP-1 and GIP, tirzepatide helps suppress appetite and reduce food cravings. This can lead to decreased caloric intake and facilitate weight loss.

3. Slowed Gastric Emptying: Tirzepatide slows down the emptying of the stomach, which can help you feel fuller for longer periods after eating. This can reduce overall food consumption and contribute to weight loss.

4. Weight Loss Efficacy: Clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide is highly effective in promoting weight loss in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. Participants in these trials experienced significant reductions in body weight compared to those receiving a placebo, along with improvements in other cardiometabolic risk factors.

5. Additional Benefits: In addition to weight loss, tirzepatide has been shown to improve other health parameters such as blood pressure, lipid levels, and glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. These benefits contribute to cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. Specifically, some studies have reported weight loss ranging from approximately 10% to 15% of initial body weight over a treatment period of several months.

 

Phentermine- $99 Monthly program

Includes:

- Nurse Practitioner supervised progress

- Prescription sent to pharmacy- Discount card if needed

- Weigh INs, Measurements, and any adjustments to medications needed.

How it works:

Phentermine stimulates the release of brain chemicals that will manipulate your mind to curb your
appetite so you feel full and eat less. Your calorie intake can be minimized by the drug's ability to
reduce the body's absorption of things like starch and fat so they are not metabolized. The
slimming drug is used alongside a diet and exercise program specifically designed for you by the
professionals at Pensacola Physical Medicine to keep the pounds off.

*Phentermine isn't a good option if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid
gland, or glaucoma. It also isn't for pregnant women who may become pregnant or are breast-feeding.
