What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a modified molecule our bodies make, called a GLP-1 agonist. It works by increasing insulin
production and lowers glucagon secretion as well as targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food
intake. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural
version our bodies make, which lasts minutes. It has been used by healthcare providers for over 15 years to treat type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is administered through a weekly subcutaneous injection.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide acts in the following ways:
● Delays how quickly our stomachs digest food. Leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
● Slows intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.
● Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
● Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.

What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is once-weekly injectable dual glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and glucose-dependent

the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which
