Understanding Our Weight Loss Options
GLP-1, semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine—and so much more. You hear all of these medication names, but you don’t always know how they work or how they can help you lose weight.
At Regain, we start everything we do with education. That’s why we’ve included this guide to understanding your options for medical weight loss in Lawrence.
GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide have taken the world by storm and helped thousands of people lose weight. They work by mimicking your body’s natural glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone. Now do you see where they got their name?
The GLP-1 hormone is responsible for the following bodily processes.
- Signaling to your brain that you’re full and should stop eating.
- Slowing digestion, so food stays in your stomach longer.
- Triggering insulin production and regulating blood sugar levels.
By imitating these functions, GLP-1 medications essentially “trick” your brain into thinking that you’re satisfied with smaller meal portions. This helps you maintain a calorie deficit, which is when you burn more calories than you consume.
They also help you feel less compelled to snack in between meals, because they slow digestion and keep your blood sugar more balanced.
Our GLP-1 medications include semaglutide and tirzepatide. Both of these are highly effective options for medical weight loss in Lawrence. The difference in the 2 lies in tirzepatide’s ability to mimic the gastric-inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) hormone as well as the GLP-1 hormone. This means it can further stabilize your blood sugar and appetite.
Phentermine
Phentermine is another weight loss medication. This oral tablet works as a short-term stimulant and releases specific chemicals in your brain to signal fullness and suppress hunger.
Phentermine also increases your metabolism, so your body burns more calories. Many patients note that while taking phentermine, they feel more alert and energetic, which helps fuel their exercise.
L-Glycine Injections
L-Glycine is an amino acid that helps you maintain muscle mass during your weight loss journey. When you cut calories and eat less, you don’t always lose just fat. Because of the lower nutritional intake, many individuals see their muscle size and strength decline as well.
L-Glycine reduces muscle loss by building proteins that help grow and repair muscles. In addition to this important function, it also helps you lose weight and aids in detoxification.
We offer 4 L-Glycine injections each month during your journey for medical weight loss in Lawrence..
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Your hormones play a major role in your weight by regulating the following processes:
- Blood sugar levels
- Body fat accumulation and distribution
- Hunger
- Metabolism
- Sleep/wake cycles
- Mood
As you age, your body’s production of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone declines. This imbalance can cause a range of symptoms—including weight gain.
We offer hormone replacement therapy and testosterone replacement therapy as a first step in your weight loss journey to improve your body’s metabolic function and optimize its response to the medications.
