Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are once-weekly injectable medications. These medications mimic the feeling of fullness or satiety. At Kana Wellness, you will partner with a board-certified physician to develop a weight-loss goal. Under a physician’s guidance, both medications are safe and effective for losing 15-20% of your body weight.
As we develop a weight-loss goal together, we take into account your personal challenges and daily activity. Our modern, clean, comfortable clinic focuses not only on losing those stubborn pounds but also on setting you up for overall success. That means incorporating nutritional decisions, meal planning, and physical activity to keep the weight off. Once you have reached your goal weight, we will encourage you to continue with our super-charged maintenance program until you feel comfortable maintaining your weight loss on your own.
Your Kana Wellness team will support your weight-loss journey with a personal app, monthly check-ins, medication management and personalized goals. We will administer the dosage of medication to accelerate weight loss.
We are here to empower you as you make improvements. Soon enough, you will find that this personalized process helps rewire your brain when thinking about food and gets you where you need to be: a new healthy life.
Tirzepatide is a drug used under the brand Mounjaro™. Tirzepatide is both a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and a receptor agonist (RA). That means it actually imitates two hormones the body naturally produces. Clinical trials have shown an average of 22.5% weight loss after 72 weeks of Tirzepatide.
Common side effects of Tirzepatide include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting.
Semaglutide is a drug used under the brands Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Ozempic is primarily used for patients managing type 2 diabetes, although other patients still see weight-loss results. Wegovy patients see an average of 14.9% reduction in body weight after 68 weeks.
Common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and some abdominal pain.
Both Semaglutide brands work similarly to Tirzepatide, although they act on GLP-1 receptors alone, not GIP. However, for some patients, this formula offers fewer side effects while still achieving optimal results. Your body’s response to medication depends on many factors, which means that a consultation will be the best way to discover which option is best for you.
The new class of medication, GLP-1, stands out because it doesn’t have negative side effects that previous medications such as amphetamines did. You simply aren’t hungry enough to overeat and the medication does the work for you. Decreased hunger causes patients to learn new eating habits because their stomachs are shrinking, and they’re satisfied with fewer calories.
Most insurance plans are unlikely to cover the cost of weight-loss injections. Ask your insurance provider and provide documentation when asked.
The medicine is a naturally occurring protein, but the the protein diminishes as we age. There was a study done that looked at patients who had gastric bypass surgery. After that surgery, the body produced 10 times this protein as before. So, really, the body naturally released that protein to control appetite after surgery. So the medicine sends a message to your brain that you are satisfied so your appetite is reduced and you feel full and satisfied eating a fewer calories.
Yes, this brings you back to the ability to feel satisfied eating the portion size that is right for your body. Most people will lose weight faster. For patients who are larger, we will mandate that they take a multivitamin – not because they aren’t getting the nourishment that they need – but because they are losing weight so rapidly and returning to the diet that will work for them once they achieve their goals.
The protein that we’ve described does the bulk of the work. This is what will cause you to feel full. That’s what we call satiety. But there are other things that we know that can help. Our physicians may recommend B-12 or a combination of B vitamins for your energy, a multivitamin, or other supplements that would be customized to your needs based on your appointment. We take your history into account and meet you where you are to ensure that you meet your weight-loss goals and stay there. In addition, we have an effective maintenance plan to keep the weight off.
We start patients at a quarter of a dose and then build up to a full dose over the first three weeks. Many patients see the results of the medication immediately.
Like most weight-loss programs, the higher your BMI and the more weight you need to lose, the more dramatic the pounds lost will be. However, even those with just 20 or 30 pounds to lose see dramatic results rapidly.
Take control of your health with Kana Wellness Associates. You’ll receive a once-weekly injection until you reach your goal. We will ensure that you receive the correct dosage to propel your weight loss. Our physician-assisted weight-loss programs are meant to support you along your journey of creating the lifestyle you want. We are happy to discuss your concerns and body image goals, working together to create a plan that works for you.
You deserve to live your best life. Schedule an appointment today to discuss your weight-loss options using Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in Bloomingdale!
