From Sluggish to Supercharged

What is tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a revolutionary medication designed for weight loss and metabolic health improvement. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists. Tirzepatide works by mimicking two important hormones in your body:

  1. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)
  2. GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)

These hormones play crucial roles in regulating appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels. By targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide offers a powerful approach to weight management and metabolic health.

At Longevity Men's Health Clinic, Dr. Itri offers tirzepatide as part of a comprehensive health optimization program. This medication can help you achieve significant weight loss and improve various aspects of your metabolic health when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
