Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are medications used for weight loss and glycemic control. Both are highly effective in helping individuals lose significant amounts of weight by targeting specific hormones in the body.

• Semaglutide: A GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone regulates appetite and insulin secretion, making it easier to reduce calorie intake and improve blood sugar control.
• Tirzepatide: A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. By targeting both receptors, Tirzepatide provides superior appetite control and helps improve how the body processes insulin, leading to enhanced weight loss and better metabolic health.

These medications make it easier to stick to a healthy diet and help manage blood sugar levels, which is especially beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes.

While both medications are used for weight loss, they work in slightly different ways:

• Semaglutide: Works by targeting only the GLP-1 receptor. It helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and improve insulin secretion. Semaglutide has been shown to result in a weight loss of about 15-20% of body weight.

• Tirzepatide: Targets both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, offering more comprehensive appetite suppression and improved insulin sensitivity. This dual mechanism leads to greater weight loss (20-30% of body weight) and more significant improvement in metabolic health compared to Semaglutide.

Both medications are highly effective, but Tirzepatide’s dual-action may provide an edge in terms of weight loss and metabolic benefits.

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have been shown to produce significant weight loss in clinical studies, but individual results may vary depending on adherence to treatment plans, diet, and exercise.

• Semaglutide: Patients typically experience a loss of 15-20% of their body weight over the course of treatment.
• Tirzepatide: Offers a more potent effect, with patients often losing 20-30% of their body weight.

Key factors that can influence results include:

• Diet: Maintaining a healthy, calorie-controlled diet will maximize results.
• Exercise: Regular physical activity enhances weight loss and overall health.
• Consistency: Adhering to your medication and follow-up appointments is crucial for success.

Most patients start to see changes within the first few weeks of treatment, but sustained and substantial results usually occur over a period of several months.

At Coastal Revive, we recognize that some patients may experience side effects, particularly nausea, when starting Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. To minimize these side effects and ensure a smoother experience, we use a low-and-slow approach, which includes:

• Split Dosing: Instead of administering the full starting dose at once, we divide it into two smaller doses, given 3-4 days apart. This allows your body to adjust to the medication gradually, reducing the likelihood of side effects like nausea.
• Customized Dosing: Our Nurse Practitioners create a weight loss plan tailored to your individual needs, adjusting dosages as necessary to balance efficacy and comfort.
• Ongoing Monitoring: We provide close follow-up during the initial months to monitor how you respond to the treatment and make adjustments to reduce side effects.

This approach helps keep side effects at bay while still delivering the benefits of these medications.

These medications can be highly effective, but they are not suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide include individuals who:

• Are overweight or obese: If you have a BMI of 27 or higher, and you’ve struggled with losing weight through diet and exercise alone, you may benefit from these medications.
• Have type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance: Both medications help improve blood sugar control, making them particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
• Have tried other weight loss methods without success: If you’ve tried diet and exercise programs or other medications with little to no success, Semaglutide or Tirzepatide may offer the results you need.
• Want a medically supervised solution: These medications require careful management and monitoring, making them ideal for individuals who prefer a structured, physician-guided approach to weight loss.

Consulting with our healthcare team will help determine if these medications are the right fit for your weight loss journey.

At Coastal Revive, we prioritize your safety and success, which is why regular follow-up visits are an essential part of our weight loss programs. Our follow-up schedule includes:

• Monthly Visits for the First Three Months: During the initial phase of your weight loss journey, we will meet with you monthly to monitor your progress, adjust dosages if needed, and provide support.
• Every Three Months Thereafter: After the first three months, follow-up visits occur every three months to ensure that you continue to progress safely and effectively.

Additionally:

• Telehealth Consultations: We offer convenient telehealth consultations for ongoing support and guidance throughout your treatment.
• Medication & Supply Delivery: For your convenience, all medications and supplies are delivered directly to your home, so you don’t have to worry about frequent trips to the pharmacy.

This comprehensive follow-up plan ensures that you stay on track and achieve your weight loss goals in a safe and controlled manner.
