At Tirzepatide Portland, we are dedicated to guiding you on your journey to optimal health. In our commitment to offering cutting-edge therapies, we proudly introduce Tirzepatide —a game changer in the world of medical weight loss.
Tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro) acts as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide) receptor agonists. This ingredient is in a class of medications used for medical weight loss as well as various metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type II diabetes.
Administering tirzepatide injections once a week may result in significant weight loss and effective blood sugar control within just one month.
Acts on the brain's appetite center to suppress hunger which may result in up to 30% fewer daily calories consumed.
Increases insulin levels to decrease glucose, often normalizing fasting blood sugar and reducing HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) by 1-2% over three months.
Delays stomach emptying, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness and reduced appetite which may result in lower daily calorie intake.
Stimulates brain’s appetite center to promote a sense of fullness, which may result overall food intake.
Through our advanced medical weight loss program, you may effectively reduce body weight, body fat, and BMI. You may also experience significant improvement in inflammation and decreased risk of serious conditions like cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Excess belly and visceral fat pose significant health risks, including heart disease, liver disease, and diabetes. Tirzepatide has shown remarkable effectiveness in reducing excess belly fat, addressing these critical concerns.
Insulin resistance and pre-diabetes can lead to serious health complications, but our comprehensive approach combining tirzepatide with health and nutritional coaching may reverse these conditions.
Fatty liver disease, often linked to obesity and type II diabetes, may be reversed or prevented with the effective treatment of tirzepatide, safeguarding liver function and overall health.
Persistent high blood pressure is a dangerous condition associated with increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide may effectively lower high blood pressure.
In the realm of heart disease and high cholesterol, tirzepatide has been associated with reduced risks of major cardiac events, offering significant benefits to patients with obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of premature death, affects a significant portion of the US population. Through targeted interventions including weight loss, physical activity, and dietary changes, we help combat metabolic syndrome and its associated risks.
