Curb Cravings and Manage
Excess Weight
Weight loss injections are prescription medications that work with your body’s natural appetite-regulating hormones to help you feel satisfied sooner and stay full longer. At Roots Wellness, we offer semaglutide and tirzepatide, two medications that target specific hormone receptors involved in hunger, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. Your provider evaluates your health, weight history, and metabolic needs to determine which option may work best for you.
Weight Loss Injections Can Help With:
- Excess body weight and obesity
- Difficulty controlling hunger
- Persistent food cravings
- Overeating and large portion sizes
- Weight management challenges
- Difficulty maintaining weight loss
- Weight-related metabolic concerns
How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic hormones released by your digestive system after eating. These hormones send signals to your brain that help regulate hunger and fullness. They also slow stomach emptying, helping you feel satisfied for longer periods. Tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors, while semaglutide targets only one. Both can help reduce calorie intake, making it easier to follow a balanced eating plan without constantly battling hunger.
Your Weight Loss Injection Options
Semaglutide Injections (Compounded)
Semaglutide mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. By reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness, semaglutide can make it easier to manage portions and food cravings. Roots Wellness offers compounded semaglutide when clinically appropriate. Your provider reviews your medical history and guides your dosing and progress throughout treatment.
Tirzepatide Injections (Mounjaro and Zepbound)
Tirzepatide targets both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, helping regulate appetite and blood sugar through two pathways. Roots Wellness offers brand-name Zepbound and may offer compounded tirzepatide when appropriate. Mounjaro contains the same active ingredient but is approved for type 2 diabetes, while Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management.
