Who Is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss in Houston with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is suitable for adults who are looking to achieve weight loss in a medically supervised environment. Ideal candidates include:

  • Adults with a BMI over 30 or over 27 with obesity-related health conditions
  • Individuals with insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes
  • Patients who have struggled to lose weight through traditional diet and exercise alone
  • Those committed to long-term lifestyle changes for sustainable results
  • Patients without contraindications to the medications prescribed

During your consultation, we will evaluate your health and discuss any conditions that may affect your suitability for treatment. 

How Medical Weight Loss Works

Our program leverages two innovative medications, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Both are FDA-approved for weight management and have been proven effective in clinical trials. Each medication works uniquely to support weight loss while improving metabolic health.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to mimic gut hormones that regulate appetite and signal fullness. By reducing hunger and helping control portion sizes, Semaglutide helps you manage cravings and reduce calorie intake, supporting gradual and sustainable weight loss. It is an ideal choice for individuals looking to improve their relationship with food and achieve better portion control.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide, a dual-action medication, targets both GLP-1 and GIP hormones, enhancing metabolic function and improving glucose and insulin regulation. This powerful combination makes Tirzepatide especially beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes, providing added metabolic benefits alongside weight management. For those with specific metabolic concerns, Tirzepatide offers an effective path to better overall health.

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide: Which is Right for You?

While both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are effective tools for weight loss, they operate through distinct pathways to support different aspects of metabolic health. Semaglutide works primarily by suppressing appetite, helping patients manage food intake, and reducing calorie consumption. In contrast, Tirzepatide targets a wider range of metabolic processes, making it especially beneficial for individuals with more complex metabolic concerns, such as insulin resistance or blood sugar imbalances. Dr. Sturm and her experienced team will guide you in understanding the nuances and benefits of each medication, recommending the most suitable option based on your unique health profile.
