What to Know Before Starting GLP-1 Therapy (Semaglutide or Tirzepatide)

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are two of the most talked-about medical weight loss treatments today. GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone that regulates blood sugar, slows digestion, and increases feelings of fullness. Tirzepatide takes it a step further by also targeting GIP receptors. In the first few weeks, many patients experience reduced hunger and early weight loss. GI side effects like nausea, bloating, or constipation can occur but are usually temporary. Ideal candidates are individuals with a BMI over 25. At BioCure Health, we pair GLP-1 therapy with personalized plans, lab testing, and consistent follow-ups. Call or text us at 754-206-0838.
