GLP-1 Medications
A Natural Approach to Sustainable Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications are a class of drugs that mimic the natural occurring hormone GLP-1 and are primarily used for Type 2 diabetes and weight loss. These medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepetide work by slowing down stomach emptying, keeping you feeling full longer. They also send signals to the brain that increase feelings of fullness, leading to reduced food intake. In some studies, participants using GLP-1s have lost an average of 10% to 15% of their body weight over a year. The most effective GLP-1 medications (Tirzepetide) can lead to weight loss of over 20% of body weight. This level of weight loss is significant because even a 5% to 10% reduction in body weight can improve metabolic health, lower blood pressure, and decrease age related diseases.
Semaglutide
- Activates GLP-1 Receptors
- Reduces appetite and cravings, making it easier to consume fewer calories and also slows down the rate at which your stomach empties, helping you feel fuller for longer.
- In clinical trials, individuals lost an average of about 15% of their initial body weight.
- individual weight loss results can vary depending on several factors, including lifestyle changes, diet, exercise and hormones.
- common side effects of include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
Tirzepetide
- Activates GLP-1 AND GIP Receptors.
- Reduces appetite and helps control cravings, making it easier to eat fewer calories. It also slows stomach emptying, which promotes a feeling of fullness for an extended time.
- In clinical trials, participants lost an average of about 20% of their starting body weight.
- Individual weight loss results can vary depending on factors such as lifestyle habits, diet, physical activity, and hormone levels.
- Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
Therapeutic Applications:
GLP-1 receptor agonists (Semaglutide) are commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their glucose-lowering and weight-loss effects. GIP agonists, or dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists (Tirzepetide), are also being explored for their potential in treating diabetes and obesity, potentially enhancing the effects of GLP-1 and reducing some of its side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about GLP-1 Medications for
Weight Loss:
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of drugs that mimic the effects of a natural hormone in the body. They are primarily used to manage blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, but many also help with weight loss as a side effect.
All medications that we provide access to are prepared in GLP-1s work by slowing down the movement of food through the digestive system, reducing appetite, and helping to regulate blood sugar, all of which can contribute to weight loss.
Studies have shown that GLP-1 medications, particularly semaglutide and tirzepatide, can lead to significant weight loss.
Individuals with a BMI of 30 or greater or a BMI of 27 or greater with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes may be good candidates.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
It's completely normal to feel apprehensive about giving yourself an injection for the first time. Many people find the idea daunting, but Dr Burns will give you instructions and, with practice, it becomes less scary and will be a manageable part of your healthcare routine. The type of injection is called a Subcutaneous injection and is injected into the fatty tissue just under the skin typically the abdomen area. These are shorter, thinner needles and as a result cause very little to no pain.
GLP-1 medications are generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider, but they do have potential side effects.
GLP-1 medications are often prescribed for long-term use, as weight loss and health improvements may not be maintained if the medication is stopped.
If GLP-1 medications are stopped, weight regain is common, especially without behavioral changes to support healthy weight management.
Other medications and treatments for weight loss may include lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, and other weight loss medications.
All medications that we provide access to are prepared in compounding pharmacies licensed by the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy. These pharmacies use the same active ingredient as the commercially available products. Compounding GLP-1 medications allows the physician to customize the dose right for you and add in other medications that may be necessary to offset negative side effects such as B12 for fatigue.
Yes, there are alternative weight loss options if injections aren’t right for you. Depending on your health goals and medical history, we may recommend oral medications, lifestyle-based programs, or compounded treatments tailored to your preferences. Dr. Burns will work with you to find the most comfortable and effective plan — no needles required if that’s your choice.
Important Considerations Before Starting GLP-1 Medications
Consult Your Healthcare Provider
It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any medication for weight loss, including GLP-1s, to ensure they are safe and appropriate for you.
Be Aware of Side Effects
Be aware of the potential side effects of GLP-1 medications and report any concerning symptoms to your healthcare provider.
Follow a Healthy Lifestyle
GLP-1 medications are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise.
Consider the long-term implications
GLP-1 medications may be needed for long-term weight management, so it's important to understand the potential for weight regain if the medication is stopped.
