Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a physician-guided medication used in medical weight management programs to support metabolic regulation and appetite control. It works through key hormone pathways involved in blood sugar balance, satiety, and energy use, offering a clinically guided option for individuals who struggle with weight despite lifestyle efforts.
At Dr. Dubroff’s practice, Tirzepatide is offered as part of an individualized program focused on safety, realistic expectations, and long-term metabolic health rather than rapid or cosmetic weight loss.
Understanding How Tirzepatide Works
Tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors involved in metabolic regulation:
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play important roles in appetite regulation, blood sugar control, and satiety.
Potential Effects of Tirzepatide
- Enhancing feelings of fullness after meals
- Reducing appetite and food cravings
- Supporting insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation
- Slowing gastric emptying, which may prolong satiety
- Helping regulate metabolic signaling associated with weight gain
Who May Be a Candidate
Tirzepatide may be considered for individuals who:
- Have struggled with weight despite diet and exercise
- Experience metabolic resistance to weight loss
- Have insulin resistance or blood sugar dysregulation
- Are seeking a non-surgical, physician-guided option
- Want medical oversight and individualized care
