This service is for returning patients at a low dose of compounded Tirzepatide. This monthly charge includes two biweekly clinic sessions. During the first monthly session we will perform an InBody to check your personalized comprehensive body composition (a $40 value). At each visit we will see how you are doing and administration medication. **This pricing is for the first tier of medication dosing. Additional charges will apply for subsequent dose increases. Contact one of our medical staff members with any questions you may have. Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved medicine used for weight loss and weight management to help you lose weight and keep weight off. Our Tirzepatide is a compounded injectable medication that works by reducing your appetite and making you feel full more quickly and for a longer period of time, so you eat less and lose weight. Tirzepatide for weight loss is given as a once-weekly injection under the skin and should be used together with diet and exercise. Tirzepatide works like two natural hormones in our bodies, called GIP and GLP-1, which help control appetite, blood sugar levels, and digestion. When Tirzepatide binds to GIP and GLP-1 receptors, it slows the rate food passes through your body, making you feel full longer, and the pancreas releases more insulin, lowering the amount of sugar your liver makes. This helps helps weight loss and may also lower blood sugar levels. Tirzepatide is a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide's mechanism of action is by activating both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone receptors.
