Weight Loss Medication in Cedar Park, Liberty Hill & Thorndale, TX

At Impact Family Wellness, we provide innovative solutions to help individuals struggling with weight management achieve their goals using two powerful medications: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. These medications have shown remarkable success in clinical studies, offering effective tools for sustainable weight loss.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the hormone GLP-1, playing a crucial role in regulating hunger and food intake. By stimulating GLP-1 receptors, Semaglutide helps reduce appetite and enhances feelings of fullness, while also slowing gastric emptying to prolong the sensation of satiety after eating.

Benefits of Semaglutide:

• Significant weight reduction when combined with diet and exercise.
• Consistent and safe weight loss over an extended period.
• Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and other weight-related health issues.
• Improved overall health and well-being.
  

Clinical Success:

In a major study, individuals with a BMI over 30 (without diabetes) treated with Semaglutide and lifestyle modifications experienced an average weight loss of 14.9% over 68 weeks, compared to a 2.4% reduction in the placebo group. Another study found that adding behavioral therapy and a low-calorie diet to Semaglutide treatment led to even greater weight loss.

Candidate Criteria:

• BMI of 30 or higher
• BMI of 27 or higher with conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol
• Commitment to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise

Potential Side Effects:

Common side effects may include headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, mood changes, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, and bloating. Rare but severe side effects can include pancreatitis, allergic reactions, kidney damage, and gallstones. We will discuss these potential side effects with you before starting treatment

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, suppress appetite, and enhance satiety by slowing down digestion.

Benefits of Tirzepatide:

• Significant weight reduction
• Improved blood sugar control
• Enhanced satiety and reduced appetite
• Potential improvement in cardiovascular health metrics

Clinical Success:

Patients using doses of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg experienced average weight reductions of 15%, 19.5%, and 20.9%, respectively. The weight loss is gradual, often noticeable within the first 1-3 months.

Candidate Criteria:

• BMI of 30 or higher
• BMI of 27-29.9 with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes

Potential Side Effects:

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, and fatigue. More severe side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, and kidney problems. We will discuss these potential side effects with you before starting treatment.
