Weight Loss

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a medication used to lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, and aid in weight loss in specific patients. Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body to help regulate blood sugar levels. It is administered via injection or tablet.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and aid in weight loss. It is administered via subcutaneous injection and is sold under the brand names Mounjaro for diabetes treatment and Zepbound for weight loss. Tirzepatide works by activating the receptors for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which are natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake. Common side effects of tirzepatide include abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea.

Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a prescription medication used to reduce excess abdominal fat in individuals with HIV and lipodystrophy, a condition characterized by abnormal fat distribution. It is a synthetic form of the growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) and works by stimulating the production of growth hormone, which helps to break down excess fat in the abdominal area. Tesamorelin has been shown to improve body composition and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with HIV and lipodystrophy.

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a prescription medication used to stimulate growth hormone production in the body. It is a synthetic form of growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) and works by binding to specific receptors in the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of growth hormone. Sermorelin is used to treat growth hormone deficiency and growth failure in children, as well as adult growth hormone deficiency. It may also used for anti-aging purposes and to improve body composition.

L Carnitine

L-Carnitine medication is a prescription supplement used to treat conditions related to carnitine deficiency, such as primary carnitine deficiency, carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) deficiency, and familial carnitine deficiency. It is also used to treat certain heart conditions, such as heart failure, angina, and ventricular arrhythmias. L-Carnitine works by increasing the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be burned for energy, and also has antioxidant properties.

HGH

Omnitrope is a brand name for human growth hormone (HGH) medication, used to treat growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children and adults. It is a synthetic version of the natural hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which stimulates growth and cell reproduction. Omnitrope is used to treat short stature, growth failure, and Prader-Willi syndrome, as well as adult growth hormone deficiency. It is administered via injection and works by promoting bone growth, increasing muscle mass, and improving overall body composition.

T3/T4

T3/T4 medication, also known as thyroid hormone replacement therapy, is a prescription medication used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) are two essential hormones produced by the thyroid gland that regulate metabolism, growth, and development. T3/T4 medication is used to replace the natural hormones, relieving symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and hair loss.
