Medical Weight Loss: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic a natural hormone in your body that helps control appetite and stabilize blood sugar levels. By promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing food cravings, they can support healthier eating habits and boost your weight loss efforts—especially when paired with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor, while Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. In most studies, individuals experience more significant weight loss with Tirzepatide, but everybody is unique. A consultation with our team in South Salt Lake can help you determine which medication best aligns with your goals and health profile.
Everyone’s journey is different. Some people notice reduced appetite and weight changes within just a few days, while others may see more dramatic progress over several months as we increase the dosage. By consistently taking your medication, making nutritious food choices, and staying active, you’ll set yourself up for steady, long-term success.
Most patients find the weekly injections easy to administer and relatively painless—comparable to a standard insulin shot. If you’re not comfortable giving yourself the injection, we’re happy to have you visit us weekly so we can administer it for you and check in on your progress. We also offer sublingual (under-the-tongue) drops as a needle-free alternative. Our supportive team will ensure you receive your medication in a way that makes you feel confident and at ease.
No. We believe in flexibility. You can pay as you go and are free to pause or discontinue treatment anytime. Our focus is on helping you achieve your weight loss goals at a pace that feels right for you, whether you need short-term support or a more extended program.
Like all medications, GLP-1 treatments may cause side effects, such as mild nausea, changes in bowel habits, or fatigue. These typically subside as your body adapts to the medication. We’ll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed, keeping you on track toward your weight loss goals.
Yes! Blood work is essential for your safety and helps identify underlying issues like thyroid problems or hormone imbalances that could impact your weight loss. It also allows us to create a personalized and effective treatment plan. Be cautious of providers prescribing GLP-1s without blood work—they may not be addressing the root cause of your condition. At Simply Wellness, we prioritize safe, effective, and tailored care for every patient.
Long-term lifestyle changes are key to maintaining weight loss. That’s why we provide a wellness coach while you’re on the medication. GLP-1 medications help reduce hunger, sugar cravings, and food noise, giving you the clarity to focus on healthier choices. Our coaches will guide you toward building sustainable habits that become second nature, so when you stop the medication, you’ll have the tools and routines needed to maintain your progress for the long term.
Absolutely. While GLP-1 medications were initially developed for type 2 diabetes, they are also approved for weight management in individuals without diabetes who have obesity or are overweight with a related health condition. Our team will evaluate your overall health to confirm if GLP-1 medication is right for you.
Absolutely. At Simply Wellness, we believe sustainable weight loss involves more than medication alone. Our GLP-1 prescription plans include wellness coaching to guide you through balanced nutrition, effective exercise strategies, stress management, and more. By pairing individualized coaching with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, we help you adopt healthy habits and stay motivated.
