An Overview of Medical Weight Loss
Metabodyx's medical assisted weight loss program will help you detect and treat weight-related medical conditions, as well as improve your overall health, well-being, and confidence. Medical weight loss helps individuals who have struggled with a slow metabolism, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, and even menopause.
Chronic weight management is one of the most pressing issues we face today. It’s not just about achieving a desired look, it’s about improving your quality of life, reducing your risk of conditions like high blood pressure (HBP) or type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular events.
When it comes to weight loss medications, there are a few that stand out. We offer both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide here at Metabodyx for qualifying patients. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are GLP-1 medications that mimic the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). When you eat, your digestive tract releases the GLP-1 hormone, prompting the body to create more insulin. It can also send fullness signals to the brain, effectively suppressing appetite and regulating blood sugar levels. GLP-1 specifically targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. As a result, the medication slows the rate at which your stomach empties, reducing your food cravings and making you feel full faster and longer.
Tirzepatide, similar to Semaglutide, is both a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide mimics the GLP-1 hormone and the GIP hormone. The GIP hormone can also trigger insulin creation and sensations of fullness. This means tirzepatide may offer an extra weight loss boost.
Benefits of Medical Weight Loss Injections
Along with helping to control blood sugar and boost weight loss, weekly GLP-1 injections seem to have other major benefits. Research has found that some drugs in these groups may lower the risk of heart disease, such as heart failure, stroke and kidney disease. People taking these drugs have seen their blood pressure and cholesterol levels improve. Semaglutide and tirzepatide should be used in combination with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Are injections stronger than pills?
The most significant benefit to injectable supplements is greater bioavailability, guaranteed, every time. This is in contrast to the bioavailability of oral supplements, which is highly variable. When supplements are taken orally, they are first metabolized by the gastrointestinal tract and then absorbed into your bloodstream. Many factors can impact oral supplements’ nutrient absorption, such as chronic gastrointestinal issues, stomach ulcers, metabolism, chronic illnesses, medications, diet, or even prior surgeries. Injections remove many variables by allowing the substance to bypass metabolism and absorption via your GI tract and deliver the supplement directly into your bloodstream, thus allowing for greater bioavailability.  Bioavailability is the rate and extent by which supplements, drugs, and metabolites are absorbed into our bloodstream and delivered to the target tissues. The higher the bioavailability, the greater the amount of absorption and potency of the supplement.
