medical weight loss

At NexGen Wellness KY, we specialize in medical weight loss. To support your journey, we offer treatment with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, GLP-1-based medications that have been studied in clinical trials for weight management. With personalized guidance from our team, we work with you on a plan tailored to your needs and goals.

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy for individual patients. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Individual results vary.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.

When administered, semaglutide stimulates insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar, slows down the release of glucose from the liver, and delays gastric emptying, which can help control appetite and lead to weight loss.

 

WHAT IS TIRZEPATIDE?

Tirzepatide is a dual-acting glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. FDA-approved tirzepatide products are approved for type 2 diabetes and for chronic weight management in eligible adults.

By activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide enhances insulin secretion in response to elevated blood sugar, reduces the release of glucose from the liver, and slows gastric emptying, which can help with appetite control and weight loss.

Benefits of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

These medications act on the GLP-1 hormone pathway, which can help regulate hunger, reduce cravings and promote a feeling of fullness.

Weight Loss Research

In clinical studies of FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, many participants lost weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Individual results vary.
