Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be incredibly challenging, especially for women who may face hormonal changes, busy schedules, and other obstacles. New breakthroughs in weight loss treatments — namely semaglutide and tirzepatide — are offering hope and real results.
Here at Yorktown Health in Lombard, Illinois, we offer these medications to patients who can truly benefit from the assistance they provide. We see incredible results and benefits, especially for women who are struggling with weight loss. Read on to learn more.
The medications semaglutide and tirzepatide were first developed to treat Type 2 diabetes. They work by mimicking hormones in your body that regulate blood sugar and appetite.
Recently, physicians and researchers recognized that these medications can aid significant weight loss, making them a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their health.
Both medications target specific receptors in the brain that control hunger and fullness. Semaglutide stimulates receptors for GLP-1, a hormone that slows digestion and curbs appetite.
Tirzepatide combines GLP-1 and GIP receptor stimulation, making it even more effective for some people by addressing multiple pathways related to metabolism.
By reducing hunger and promoting a feeling of fullness, these treatments help you consume fewer calories without feeling deprived.
Weight loss can have profound benefits for anyone’s overall health. Here’s how these medications help women in particular:
Excess weight often worsens conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can benefit from improved insulin sensitivity.
Reducing weight lowers the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
Shedding pounds can alleviate stress on joints, reducing pain and improving mobility.
Achieving weight loss goals can greatly enhance a woman’s self-esteem and mental well-being.
Losing weight on your own can be overwhelming, and one-size-fits-all approaches often fail to address your individual needs. At Yorktown Health, we provide personalized care to help women succeed, whether through advanced medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide or other tailored interventions.
If you’re considering semaglutide or tirzepatide, know that these medications are most effective when paired with lifestyle changes. We highly encourage you follow a balanced, nutritious diet, to get regular exercise, and seek ongoing support from healthcare providers
During treatment, our team monitors your progress, adjusts dosages if necessary, and addresses any side effects.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide may be an option if traditional weight loss methods haven’t worked for you. They’re especially beneficial for women with weight-related health concerns, like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
