Unlike older weight loss medications that only suppress appetite, these GLP-1 receptor agonists (and in the case of Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist) help you feel fuller longer, reduce cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity
Signs that you may need a B12 shot include fatigue, pale skin, weakness, shortness of breath and loss of appetite
Ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone produced by the stomach, binds with the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a) in the hippocampus that stimulates growth hormone release
GLP-1 medications, including tirzepatide, have been associated with this effect
Clinical trials show men achieve 10-17% weight loss on semaglutide depending on dose, with efficacy and safety profiles equivalent to female populations
Avoid keeping semaglutide in areas like the bathroom, where humidity levels are high and can fluctuate
