What Are Semaglutide and
Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Two of the most potentially effective weight loss injections include Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. While both might help you lose weight, they work in slightly different ways:

Semaglutide

This FDA-approved medication mimics a natural hormone in the body (GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1) to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Semaglutide helps reduce cravings, control portion sizes, and support steady weight loss through once-weekly injections.

Tirzepatide

Another groundbreaking option, Tirzepatide works by activating hormones (GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1 and GLP, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. This weekly injection supports gradual weight loss and helps you feel fuller longer, making it easier to achieve your goals.

What To Expect During
Your Appointment

Your first appointment at Brisk Wellness begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals. We will conduct hormone-level testing to identify any imbalances, and if found to be a candidate for treatment, we will develop a customized plan. 

Once your plan is in place, you’ll begin receiving bioidentical hormone therapy as a cream. Regular follow-ups make sure your treatment stays effective and is adjusted as needed.

Potential
Side Effects

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, but some individuals might experience:

  • Mild nausea or upset stomach, especially early in treatment
  • Temporary fatigue or dizziness
  • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

We will work with you to manage any side effects and make adjustments to your treatment plan if needed.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide safe for weight loss?
Yes, both medications are FDA-approved for weight loss and have been shown to be safe and effective when prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional.
Our team of licensed medical weight loss practitioners make your health and wellness our top priority and it starts with an initial consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for one of these innovative weight loss solutions.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide both offer multiple benefits for helping you lose weight by suppressing appetite, reducing caloric intake, regulating insulin and glucose production,and other advantages that work in conjunction with a low-calorie diet and routine physical activity.
Both medications have been approved by the FDA for adults 18 years of age and older in good overall health but have been categorized as overweight or obese with these weight-related health issues:
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
Adults with a medical history of these health conditions should not take Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss:
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2
  • Allergies to Semaglutide or Tirzepatide or their ingredients
Taking into consideration your weight loss objectives, lifestyle habits, and other factors including the obstacles to success that have slowed your weight journey, we create a customized weight loss treatment regimen using one of these medications to ensure that you safely reach and maintain your ideal weight.
Once you begin your weight loss regimen using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, we will monitor your progress from week to week to see how well your body is reacting to the medication and adjust the dosage of your injections, if necessary.
Most individuals notice changes within the first few weeks, with consistent weight loss occurring over several months. However, it’s important to note that a variety of factors play a role in the time it takes to start seeing results in your weight loss journey. These include:
  • Age
  • Weight
  • Lifestyle habits
  • Overall health
  • Medical history
  • Current caloric intake
  • Physical activity
  • Other medications that are taken during treatment.
Some patients may see changes in body weight and A1C levels sooner than others, keep in mind that your results may vary.
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are given as once-weekly injections. We will guide you on how to self-administer them or offer the option to receive injections in the clinic. Patients who feel comfortable with self-injections are advised to rotate injection sites between the thighs, the upper arms, and the abdomen to avoid soreness.
If you miss a dose, contact us for advice on when to take your next injection. Staying consistent with the schedule is key for the best results.
While the injections help regulate appetite, they work best when combined with healthy eating and regular exercise. We will offer guidance on making lifestyle changes that enhance the treatment. Diet and routine physical activity are both critical for ensuring that you receive the maximum benefits from your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide injections to reach and maintain your ideal weight for the future.
Patients taking Semaglutide and Tirzepatide weight loss medications may experience the following side effects:
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Mild abdominal discomfort
  • Headache
These side effects are common, however, your customized weight loss regimen begins with low dose injections to give your body time to react and get used to the medication to help you avoid these symptoms. Once your body acclimates and your treatment regimen progresses, the dosage levels can increase to give your body the maximum effect of the weight loss medication you have been prescribed.
Every patient is different. Your weight loss goals and obstacles, your overall health, lifestyle habits, and other contributing factors will dictate how long you should take Semaglutide or Tirzepatide medical weight loss injections. The duration of your treatment is developed exclusively for you and your weight loss concerns. That timeframe may be adjusted as you progress through the treatment regimen.
We will monitor your body’s progress while taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide and make any necessary changes to the dosage or other aspects of the treatment regimen to ensure you are safely reaching your ideal weight. Some patients may see results sooner than others who may need to stay on the medication longer to see their desired results.
During your initial consultation, we will provide you with a treatment regimen that includes an estimated timeframe for taking these weight loss injections and reassess that timeframe as you continue your weight loss journey toward reaching your ideal weight and maintaining it for the long-term.
