At Cherry Creek Health and Wellness we proudly offer semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss as an innovative and highly effective treatment option.

It works by mimicking the hormone GLP–1 (glucagon-like peptide) which works centrally on the brain to decrease appetite and increase gut transit time to reduce hunger cravings. It can also increase feelings of fullness.

Most patients lose between 0.5.-2.0 pounds per week although results will vary. It is effective for a wide range of patients. We recommend a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.

More specifically, GLP–1 agonists increase insulin secretion and synthesis, suppresses glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake and promotes beta cell proliferation. Generally, it is not used for type I diabetics, although can be used for Type II diabetics. It is not recommended in pregnant women, gallbladder diseases, pancreatitis, thyroid cancer, and multiple endocrine neoplasia
