💉 What Are These Medications?

Semaglutide (Wegovy® / Ozempic®)

A once-weekly injection that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, Semaglutide helps

reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Originally developed for diabetes, it's now FDA-approved for weight loss.

Tirzepatide (Zepbound™ / Mounjaro™)

Tirzepatide targets two hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—for a dual effect that

enhances satiety and improves blood sugar regulation. Clinical trials show

even greater weight loss than Semaglutide alone.

Retatrutide (in clinical trials)

Retatrutide is a next-generation medication that targets three hormones:

GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. Early studies suggest the most powerful weight loss

effects yet—potentially over 24% body weight reduction.

⚙️ How They Work

These medications support weight loss by:

Suppressing appetite and cravings
Slowing gastric emptying so you feel full longer
Regulating blood sugar and insulin
Improving metabolic rate and fat-burning

They don’t just help you lose weight—they help reset your relationship with food.
