At the Village Osteopath, we understand that weight management can be complex and personal. That’s why our comprehensive weight loss program features GLP-1 medications—such as semaglutide and tirzepatide—alongside extensive lab testing, body composition analysis, calorie-burning assessments, and guidance from our Precision Nutrition Certified Coach. With this holistic approach, we can help you safely and effectively achieve and maintain a healthier weight.
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that help regulate both appetite and blood sugar. Examples include semaglutide and tirzepatide, often recognized by brand names like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro™. These medications:
- Support Appetite Control: They help you feel full sooner.
- Slow Gastric Emptying: This evens out blood sugar levels and reduces cravings.
- Regulate Blood Sugar: Originally developed for diabetes, they also help mitigate weight-related health risks.
