Obesity is a complex disease—not simply a matter of being overweight or lacking willpower.

Adipose tissue (our fat cells) is actually an organ that releases many different hormones. In addition, the stomach and brain play key roles in hormone production and regulation.

One reason weight loss is so difficult to achieve—and maintain—is that as we lose weight, adipose tissue shrinks and produces less leptin, the hormone that signals fullness. Lower leptin levels increase hunger. At the same time, the stomach produces more ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, causing you to feel hungrier and less satisfied after eating.

Meanwhile, the brain’s reward center becomes more sensitive, making food taste better and increasing cravings.

This is why weight loss is not just about willpower. There are real biological hurdles that make it challenging.

At Elevate Health and Wellness, we understand these challenges and offer compassionate, science-based strategies to help you succeed.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide….A tale of two effective medications.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon- like peptide -1) receptor agonistis, prescription medication. It is a once weekly injection into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. It helps your body by mimicking a natural hormone to lower your blood sugar, help you feel full longer and slows digestion.

Tirzepatide is a dual medication which has GLP1 receptor agonist as well as GIP (glucose- dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This dual action both works as semaglutide given it has the GLP-1 in it but it also targets areas in our brain that regulate hunger and decrease our brains “reward” for the food thereby decreasing cravings.

Currently there are prescriptions for these medications as well as compounded medications. Unfortunately, many times I hear of astronomical prices up to 700.00 a month for compounded versions which may not be from FDA sourced pharmacies. Additionally some places are using a large multi dose vial in office between many patients (FYI these ones do not come from a FDA state approved pharmacy!) Additionally these compounding pharmacies do not have the actual “recipe” for these medications as the original companies still hold all rights to them. And until generic forms are available it will stay that way. Why does this matter? I like to think of it as baking. Sure you may be able to make a decent chocolate chip cookie but with out that special grandmas recipe it will never turn out the same.

In our practice we currently only use prescription drugs for our weight loss patients. Our once a month appointment is $160.00 and your medication for as low as $25.00 per month if your insurance covers. If not going through Eli lily direct for instance, Tirzepatide starts at 399.00 per month and of course there are many other options that include other medications as well as weight loss support.

Our goal is always safe, honest care that supports your individual goals.
