Southlake & DFW Area

At Medrein Health & Aesthetics in Southlake, TX, we offer Combination of GLP-1 and GIP  for faster and results driven weight loss.

What is Combination of GLP-1 and GIP?

Combination of GLP-1 and GIP is a new type of medication that can help people achieve significant weight loss. It works by activating two natural hormones in your body, GLP-1 and GIP, which help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Tirzepatide is available under the brand names Mounjaro and, more recently, Zepbound.

  • Mounjaro: Initially approved for treating type 2 diabetes, Mounjaro is also highly effective for weight loss and is now FDA-approved for that purpose as well.
  • Zepbound: This is specifically FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with weight-related health issues.

How Does Combination of GLP-1 and GIP Work for Weight Loss?

Combination of GLP-1 and GIP works through multiple mechanisms to help you lose weight:

  • Appetite Control: It slows gastric emptying and increases feelings of fullness, leading to reduced calorie intake.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: It helps improve blood sugar control, which can be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes and may also contribute to weight loss.
  • Reduced Cravings: Some people find that tirzepatide helps curb cravings for unhealthy foods.

GIP Receptor Agonist Aspect

  • Enhances Tirzepatide’s Insulin Benefits

  • Fosters both first- and second-phase insulin secretion
  • Leads to more robust weight control
