Overview: Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes but has also proven effective for weight loss. It mimics the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake.

• How it Works: Semaglutide helps reduce hunger and cravings by slowing gastric emptying and enhancing feelings of fullness. It’s typically administered via weekly injections.

• Ideal Candidates: Individuals with a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with weight-related health conditions (e.g., hypertension or type 2 diabetes).

• Results: Studies show an average weight loss of 10-15% of initial body weight over 68 weeks.

• Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which often lessen over time.

Overview: Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. Originally developed for diabetes management, it has shown impressive results for weight loss.

• How it Works: By mimicking both GLP-1 and GIP hormones, it promotes satiety, reduces appetite, and improves insulin sensitivity.

• Ideal Candidates: Similar to Semaglutide, it is ideal for individuals struggling with obesity or those with weight-related medical conditions.

• Results: Tirzepatide has shown even greater potential for weight loss, with some studies indicating up to 20% body weight reduction over a 72-week period.

• Side Effects: Like Semaglutide, gastrointestinal issues are common initially, but these often improve with continued use.

Overview: Lipotropics are compounds that help break down fat in the liver and promote fat loss. They are often administered as injections and can be combined with other weight loss programs.

• Common Components: Typically include Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC) along with B12 and other nutrients that promote fat metabolism.

• How it Works: These compounds help the body metabolize fat more efficiently and improve liver function. B12 also boosts energy levels, which can aid in physical activity and overall well-being.

• Ideal Candidates: Anyone looking to enhance the results of their weight loss program or maintain energy levels during calorie restriction.

• Results: Lipotropic injections may support increased fat loss, especially when combined with diet and exercise. They can help target stubborn fat areas and enhance weight loss results.

• Side Effects: Minimal side effects, but some individuals may experience mild soreness at the injection site or allergic reactions.

• Overview: Vitamin B12 injections are often used in weight loss programs to boost energy and metabolism, especially for those with a deficiency.

• How it Works: B12 helps convert food into energy, supporting higher energy levels, and can improve mental clarity, making it easier to stick to weight loss goals.

• Ideal Candidates: Individuals with low energy levels, or those who are deficient in B12, often benefit from these injections.

• Results: While B12 doesn’t directly cause weight loss, it can help improve energy, allowing for more effective workouts and adherence to dietary plans.

• Side Effects: Generally safe, with minimal side effects, though some may experience mild injection site soreness.

• Overview: Prescription appetite suppressants (such as contrave) can be a useful tool for  weight loss, helping to reduce cravings and caloric intake.

• How it Works: These medications act on the central nervous system to suppress appetite, making it easier to follow a calorie-restricted diet.

• Ideal Candidates: Individuals struggling with portion control or emotional eating, often combined with other weight loss methods.

• Results: Studies show that appetite suppressants, when used properly, can result in significant weight loss over a few months.

• Side Effects: Potential side effects include increased heart rate, dry mouth, and insomnia.
