Tirzepatide is the most recently approved weight loss drug on the market. A medication used to address weight gain or obesity, Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates insulin and appetite. It is an effective option for weight loss without the extreme dieting or invasive procedures often used. Research studies have shown that Tirzepatide can result in weight loss of up to 20% of starting body weight.
Tirzepatide works by mimicking two naturally occurring hormones in the body:
The GLP-1 receptor agonist is also used in Semaglutide. GLP-1 stimulates the pancreas to reduce blood sugar levels, decreasing emptying of the stomach so people feel full longer and also works on hunger centers in the brain to prevent cravings.
Tirzepatide also utilizes GIP, which works in the brain to decrease appetite.
Tirzepatide also works by delaying the digestive process. It provides a longer lasting feeling of fullness after eating – and that’s just one way it makes it so much easier for patients to lose weight. By regulating appetite and insulin, the weight loss results have been gamechangers in the medical weight loss arena.
This injectable works the same as other brand name Tirzepatide weight loss drugs but is more affordable. It can be obtained without supply chain interruptions – and at a fraction of the normal costs you would pay for the brand name drugs. Compounded medications have another advantage: they can be formulated to your doctor’s precise specifications.
Dr. Rubin utilizes a strategic Tirzepatide Weight Loss program that begins with a functional evaluation of your body and your health. His evaluation typically includes:
Perhaps most importantly, it will include a review of what has and hasn’t worked so far you in your weight loss journey.
Our Tirzepatide Weight Loss program also offers a comprehensive medical evaluation, a personalized medical plan, and weekly injections of Tirzepatide. We understand that weight gain is a medical condition – and treating it as one can make all the difference.
Your personalized medical plan - tailored to fit your specific weight loss goals - will be designed just for you, based on the results of Dr. Rubin’s evaluation. Your treatment will be individually designed to meet the needs of your body and your health.
Tirzepatide itself plays a key role in our weight loss therapy. The medication regulates appetite and insulin, cravings, and satiety, leading to effective weight loss. You should expect to receive weekly injections of Tirzepatide compounded specifically for you.
With a customized medical plan designed for your specific weight loss goals, compounded Tirzepatide can be used together with other effective weight loss strategies we have seen work with other patients at our Tampa clinic. Based on the results of Dr. Rubin’s medical evaluation, your plan may include:
Because we take a holistic approach to weight loss - focusing not just on short-term results but on long-lasting health – we will create a customized medical plan that incorporates what works best for your overall health and weight loss goals.
Our approach to weight loss is designed to correct the underlying cause(s) of your chronic conditions or symptoms, including your weight concerns. Our medical team doesn’t look at your weight issues as a character defect or a personal failure. Instead, Dr. Rubin believes it’s essential to understand that weight gain is an untreated medical condition.
Dr. Rubin has a deep understanding of both conventional and functional medicine options for treatment and studies your overall health and specific conditions that might be related to your weight. He considers whether a medical condition - like thyroid disease, PCOS or hormonal imbalances – might be at the root.
Weight gain, in many cases, is not just a result of poor dietary choices and a lack of exercise. Understanding what is causing your weight gain holds the key to reversing the trend and losing the weight finally and for good. Our functional medicine approach means we work to understand the root cause of your weight issues, rather than just treating the symptom of excess weight.
Dr. Rubin evaluates whether your weight gain might be a side effect of a medication. Are you suffering with an eating disorder – or is it a series of poor eating habits you’ve developed? Could your weight gain be related to endocrine disruptors?
That’s why a comprehensive medical evaluation is so important, as is a profoundly effective medication like Tirzepatide. Our Tirzepatide Weight Loss program will transform your health – and your life!
