Tirzepatide, also known as Mounjaro®, Zepbound®, is an injectable medication that regulates blood sugar, reduces appetite, reduces calorie intake, and assists with weight loss. It triggers changes in the body’s hormones to help control hunger and food cravings while reducing caloric absorption. This leads to more efficient and effective weight loss.
How does Tirzepatide work? It targets GLP-1, an appetite-regulating hormone. This hormone is responsible for telling our brain when we are full. When GLP-1 is low, we don’t feel satiety and continued hunger. Tirzepatide stimulates GLP-1, making us feel fuller for a much longer period. As a result, we consume less food, take in fewer calories, and gradually lose unwanted weight. Clients can focus on more nutritious and healthier options by cutting out snacks and unhealthy choices.
In addition to modifying the hunger hormone, Tirzepatide in The Villages also slows down the digestive process, i.e., it takes longer for the consumed food to move through your digestive system. Consequently, you feel full longer after meals, eliminating the desire to snack between meals. This process also reduces the calories absorbed from your food, thus making it easier to stay in a calorie deficit for sustained periods. Tirzepatide tackles weight loss from two angles — calorie reduction and hunger suppression.
