What is it?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1), is a hormone naturally produced by the body in response to eating. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, stimulating insulin release, and reducing appetite. GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications designed to mimic the effects of GLP-1, primarily for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is a specific GLP-1 receptor agonist that has gained attention not only for its diabetes management capabilities but also for its potential in weight management.

How does it work?

Semaglutide is a peptide that regulates blood sugar levels and appetite. This medication was initially developed for treating type 2 diabetes, as it increases insulin production, reduces glucose absorption, and lowers blood sugar. More recently, a higher-dose form of semaglutide has been approved for weight management. It helps people with obesity or overweight conditions lose weight by reducing appetite and promoting a feeling of fullness. It is administered as a weekly injection and is used alongside diet and exercise.

Benefits of Semaglutide

Semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and reducing glucagon release. This leads to improved glycemic control, helping to prevent hyperglycemia and its associated complications. Additionally, semaglutide promotes weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing down gastric emptying. This dual action makes semaglutide an effective option for individuals looking to lose weight. Weight loss with a GLP-1 inhibitor leads to improved cholesterol levels, decreases the risk of developing diabetes, and also lowers the risk of cardiac events.

What is it?

GLP-1 Tirzepatide is a novel dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and more recently was FDA approved for weight loss. It combines the effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide GIP receptors to regulate food intake, body weight, and blood glucose levels. Tirzepatide is formulated as a synthetic peptide containing 39 amino acids, based on the native GIP sequence.

How does it work?

Tirzepatide works through its mechanism of action as a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. In humans, it stimulates insulin secretion through the GIP receptor, unlike in mice where it primarily stimulates insulin secretion through the GLP-1 receptor. By combining the effects of both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, Tirzepatide regulates food intake, body weight, and blood glucose levels.

Benefits of Tirzepatide

The benefits of Tirzepatide include its ability to regulate food intake, body weight, and blood glucose levels. As a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, Tirzepatide combines the effects of GLP-1 and GIP receptors to provide multiple therapeutic benefits. On average patients can expect up to 20% of total body weight loss compared to 15% with semaglutide.

What is it?

Thyroid optimization refers to the process of achieving and maintaining optimal thyroid hormone levels in the body. The thyroid is a small gland located in the front of the neck that plays a critical role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, energy production, and temperature regulation.

Thyroid hormone levels can have a significant impact on overall health, and imbalances can lead to various health issues. There are two primary thyroid hormones produced by the thyroid gland: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), produced by the pituitary gland, helps regulate the production of T4 and T3.

How does it work?

Thyroid optimization involves finding the right balance of thyroid hormones in the body to ensure it functions well. The thyroid gland controls important things like metabolism and energy. When hormone levels are too high (hyperthyroidism) or too low (hypothyroidism), health problems can occur. To optimize thyroid function, doctors check hormone levels through blood tests. If levels are imbalanced, they might prescribe medication like levothyroxine to help bring them back to normal. Regular check-ups and adjustments to the medication are done until the right balance is achieved, leading to improved energy, weight, and overall well-being. At Restore Health & Aesthetics, we combine symptomology our patients are experiencing along with interpretation of several thyroid hormone levels and markers to ensure optimal thyroid health for our patients.

Benefits of Thyroid Optimization

Thyroid optimization offers a range of benefits for overall health and well-being. It helps regulate metabolism, energy levels, and weight management. Improved thyroid function enhances cognitive function, mood stability, and supports healthy sleep patterns. Additionally, proper thyroid function aids in maintaining balanced cholesterol levels and a strong immune system. By optimizing the thyroid, individuals can experience increased vitality, better concentration, and a more balanced overall physiological state.

What is it?

Insulin resistance is a complex condition that can affect your health in several ways. The effects of insulin resistance is defined as the inability of cells in your muscles, fat, and liver to respond to insulin which in turn affects the absorption of glucose in your bloodstream causing your pancreas to release more insulin. As long as your pancreas can make enough insulin to overcome your cells’ weak response to insulin, your blood sugar levels will stay in a healthy range. However, when you pancreas cannot make enough insulin the end result is pre-diabetes. Anyone can become insulin resistant, but there are several factors that can predispose someone to develop insulin resistance. Being overweight, medications, certain ethnicities, PCOS, thyroid disease, Cushing's Disease, inactivity, genetics, metabolic syndrome, can all play a role.

How does it work?

Insulin resistance is identified through blood analysis. Your lab results, combined with your physical examination, symptoms, and past medical history, help guide your provider in determining which lifestyle, nutrition, exercise modifications, natural supplements, and/or medications will most benefit you.

Benefits of treating insulin resistance

Elevated levels of insulin can result in weight gain, which in turn, makes insulin resistance worse. Treatment to optimize your insulin sensitivity will help restore cellular response to insulin resulting in weight loss, more energy, lower cholesterol and blood pressure and more.
