Tirzepatide

Tirezepatide is the generic form of Mounjaro and is a next generation wonder drug for both managing type II diabetes and achieving weight loss. It is in the same class of drugs as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wygovy) but for most people works faster and patients on the drug report fewer and milder side effects.

Need Help Losing Weight?

Tirzepatide is a newer medicine that got FDA approval in May 2022 for treating Type 2 diabetes in adults. It’s a shot you take once a week. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, it can help lower blood sugar levels. Besides managing Type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide is also approved for weight loss in adults. Along with diet and exercise, it can lower blood sugar and help people with diabetes lose a lot of weight. It has also been shown to cause weight loss in people who don’t have diabetes.

How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is a combination of two peptide analogs, glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1)
and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) which lead to improved blood sugar
control and reduces appetite. The combination of these two actions leads to weight loss in
most people.

The Benefits of Tirzepatide Mounjaro

Effective Weight Loss

Tirzepatide significantly aids in weight loss by reducing appetite and making you feel full for longer periods. This means you eat less and are less likely to overeat, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet and achieve your weight loss goals.

Controls Blood Sugar Levels

Tirzepatide helps manage blood sugar levels by mimicking the action of two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones prompt the pancreas to release insulin after eating and signal the liver to reduce glucose production. This dual action ensures better blood sugar control, which is crucial for managing Type 2 diabetes.

Convenient Once-Weekly Injection

Unlike daily medications, Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection. This convenience makes it easier to stick to the treatment, boosting the chances of successful weight loss and blood sugar management.

TESTIMONIALS

"I've never been to an ND before. Dr. McAllister looks at your body as a whole and does not compartmentalize a problem. Like for my headaches, he knew to test my stomach and not to give me yet another brain MRI."

"I had chronic headaches/migraines that four top neurologists couldn't diagnose. Dr. McAllister tested my stomach and figured out the problem in ten minutes. I was literally sick to the point where I could not work for seven months."

"This guy literally saved my life. I'm still undergoing treatment, I have been for about 10 months. But after 2 weeks of treatment with Dr. McAllister I was able to go back to work and start to exercise again."
