Meet Your Weight Loss Support Team

Amazing Spine Care proudly boasts a full team of medical professionals, including nurse practitioners and nursing support staff. Rebecca E. Morris, APRN FNP-C, who holds a Master’s in Science, is our head nurse practitioner for semaglutide and tirzepatide treatments. With her experience, knowledge, and insight, we ensure that every weight loss injectable drug is administered with the utmost safety, reducing the risk of discomfort or side effects, which are usually very mild in the uncommon cases they do occur.

Semaglutide for Reliable Weight Loss

Semaglutide, which has been FDA-approved as the name brand drug Wegovy®, is considered a game-changing weight loss drug. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide helps users feel full by slowing down the emptying of the stomach, which encourages the user to eat less, naturally reducing caloric intake each meal. With numerous clinical trials and several years of studies, semaglutide is now widely regarded as the first choice for safe, reliable, and sustained weight loss for people who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.

Frequently asked questions about Semaglutide for weight loss:

1. Does semaglutide work well?
   The average semaglutide user on a low-dose dose once per week loses 11 pounds in 12 weeks, based on clinical study results.
2. How is semaglutide administered?
   At Amazing Spine Care, our highly trained nurse practitioners and specialists administer semaglutide as a once-weekly injection into the abdomen, causing little to no discomfort.
3. Who is eligible for semaglutide as a weight loss drug?
   Usually, semaglutide is recommended for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 with weight-related health conditions or a BMI of 30 with no weight-related health conditions.

Tirzepatide for Highly Effective Weight Loss

Early studies suggest that tirzepatide is more effective than semaglutide for consistent and fairly rapid weight loss because it mimics the GLP-1 hormone and GIP hormone, both of which help create the feeling of fullness to curb appetite. It is the only drug of its kind that can activate these two hormone receptors. If you need to lose weight quickly due to an underlying health condition, tirzepatide might be the right choice.

In late 2023, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tirzepatide as an obesity treatment, but only for a select group of people. Tirzepatide might not be available if you do not fit the patient recommendations.

Typically, tirzepatide use is indicated for people who suffer from:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Cardiovascular disease related to obesity
• Hypertension
• Dyslipidemia

Should You Choose Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide could help you lose weight when diet and exercise have not been enough. Which one is right for you based on your needs and expectations, though? Don’t guess. Get trusted guidance from our specialists at Amazing Spine Care, so you can make an informed decision.

Factors to consider when choosing the right weight loss drug for you could include:

• Overall weight
• BMI percentage
• Health conditions caused by weight
• Potential drug side effects
• Current prescription medications you use
• And more
