Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Semaglutide is also FDA-approved for weight loss. Semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon secretion. This leads to better blood sugar control and reduced risk of complications associated with diabetes. Additionally, Semaglutide has been shown to promote weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes. This is because it reduces appetite, slows down the emptying of the stomach, and increases feelings of fullness. Semaglutide has been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, including reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events. Semaglutide has been shown to reduce the risk of kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. This is because it helps to lower blood sugar levels, which can cause damage to the kidneys over time. Semaglutide is administered once a week by injection, which makes it more convenient than other diabetes medications that need to be taken several times a day.
Tirzepatide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, however it also activates GIP which allows it to work more effectively in glycemic control and weight loss. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Tirzepatide helps to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon secretion, increasing insulin sensitivity, and delaying gastric emptying. This leads to better blood sugar control and reduced risk of complications associated with diabetes. Tirzepatide has been shown to promote weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes. This is because it reduces appetite, slows down the emptying of the stomach, and increases feelings of fullness. Tirzepatide also has been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, including reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events. Tirzepatide is administered once a week by injection, which makes it more convenient than other diabetes medications that need to be taken several times a day.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both considered to be safe and effective when used as indicated. That being said, every medication comes with risk of adverse side effects. The most common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation. This is why we start everyone on a low dosage and titrate slowly.
You should notify your healthcare practitioner if you get changes in vision, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), kidney problems, pancreatitis, or any serious allergic reactions. Symptoms of low blood sugar include sudden sweating, shaking, fast heartbeat, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, or tingling hands/feet. Semaglutide/Tirzepatide shouldn’t be used if you or your family have a history of certain thyroid cancers such as Medullary thyroid cancer or endocrine neoplasia type 2. Semaglutide/Tirzepatide should not be used in people with a history of pancreatitis. Semaglutide/Tirzepatide should be used cautiously for people on other blood sugar lowering medications.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant composed of amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It is key in supporting immune function, metabolism, forming sperm cells, tissue building and repair, and helping with certain enzyme functions. As a powerful antioxidant, it may help fight the effects of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damage healthy cells, and contribute to aging and certain degenerative illnesses. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and is beneficial for many disease states as well as helping people live a healthier life. It may improve immune response, help to metabolize toxins and activate enzymes, aid the liver in metabolizing alcohol, reduce the amount of fat stored in the belly, help to reduce oxidative stress, and improve complexion. Glutathione levels in the body naturally decline as we age, but can also be reduced by factors like stress, malnutrition, and environmental toxins.
