What does the weight loss program involve?

Essence Medical Spa by the Center for Women’s Health’s medical weight loss program targets physical and psychological triggers that lead to weight gain. The goal is sustainable wellness through a combination of medical, dietary, and lifestyle approaches.

Exercise is critical for maintaining weight loss and improving cardiovascular health. Adequate water intake, sufficient sleep, and a balanced, high-fiber diet with reduced fat consumption are also key components. These strategies support long-term health improvements and sustainable weight loss.

The program also involves taking physician-supervised medications like tirzepatide. These drugs are non-stimulant, meaning they do not cause insomnia or jitters.

What is tirzepatide and how does it encourage weight loss?

Tirzepatide are weekly injectable medication. It mimics the action of a natural protein in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). By stimulating insulin release and slowing stomach emptying, tirzepatide helps control hunger, promote fat burning, and keep you from overeating.

How does tirzepatide promote weight loss?

Tirzepatide offers several benefits for improved weight loss, including:

• Significant appetite reduction
• Prolonged feelings of fullness
• Enhanced fat-burning without loss of muscle mass
• Improved sleep quality
• Increased energy levels
• Stabilized blood sugar levels
• Reduced cholesterol buildup in the blood vessels

On average, women taking tirzepatide can expect to lose 25% of their total body weight.

Who can use tirzepatide for weight loss?

Tirzepatide are only suitable for adults with significant excess body weight. You could benefit from it if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. Women with a BMI of 27-29 and at least one weight-related health condition are also eligible for tirzepatide.
