SG GLP-1 receptor agonist
Discover the future of weight management with SG, a powerful peptide therapy designed to revolutionize your approach to shedding excess pounds.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that help regulate blood sugar, appetite, and metabolic function. SG helps your body make more insulin, which is a hormone that lowers your blood sugar levels when they get too high, especially after you eat.
Mechanism of Actions
Keeps Blood Sugar in Check: It also stops another hormone called glucagon from raising your blood sugar too much. This helps to keep your blood sugar levels from getting too high.
Makes You Feel Full: SG slows down how quickly your stomach empties after you eat, which makes you feel fuller for longer. This helps you eat less and can lead to weight loss.
Works on the Brain: It also acts on parts of your brain that control your appetite, making you less hungry overall, especially after eating.
SG helps your body manage blood sugar levels by making more insulin and controlling other hormones.
It also makes you feel full for longer and reduces your appetite, which can help you lose weight.

TZ GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists
Embark on a journey to redefine your relationship with weight loss with TZ GIP/GLP-1, a breakthrough therapy poised to transform the way you approach shedding excess pounds. As an innovative peptide medication, TZ offers a tailored solution designed to address the complexities of weight loss with precision and efficacy.
Dual Action: TZ activates both the GLP-1 receptor, similar to SG, and the GIP receptor. GLP-1 and GIP are both hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, but they work in slightly different ways. By activating both receptors, TZ has a dual effect on blood sugar control.
Mechanism of Actions
Blood Sugar Control: Like SG, TZ stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high. This helps to lower blood sugar levels after meals. Additionally, TZ inhibits the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.
Appetite Regulation: TZ also affects appetite regulation in the brain. It can help reduce appetite and food intake, which may contribute to weight loss.
Different Receptor Activation: The key difference between TZ and SG lies in their activation of the GIP receptor. GIP has been shown to have effects on fat metabolism and body weight regulation that are different from those of GLP-1. By activating both receptors, TZ may have a more potent effect on weight loss compared to SG alone.
TZ works similarly to SG by helping to regulate blood sugar levels, reducing appetite, and promoting weight loss.
However, TZ dual action on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors may offer additional benefits in terms of weight management compared to semaglutide alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most programs hand you a plan and hope it works. We personalize treatment based on your history, appetite patterns, labs, and lifestyle. The goal is not just weight loss — it’s learning how your body responds so results are repeatable.
-
Medication is only one tool. We also talk through eating patterns, protein intake, hunger cues, activity, and daily routines so the changes make sense long term. The goal is confidence managing your weight, not dependence on a prescription.
-
We actively work to prevent that. We discuss protein targets, resistance training, and recovery habits so weight loss comes primarily from fat, not muscle.
-
Not necessarily. Many patients use medication temporarily while habits and appetite regulation improve. We reassess regularly and taper thoughtfully when appropriate.
-
Most people notice appetite changes first, then steady weight loss over the following weeks. We aim for consistent progress rather than rapid drops that are hard to maintain.
-
Maintenance depends on the habits built during treatment. The program focuses on understanding hunger and routine so results are easier to keep once medication is reduced or stopped.
-
Labs help us identify metabolic factors that can slow progress and guide a more individualized plan instead of trial and error but are not required.
-
People who feel stuck despite effort, struggle with appetite control, or notice their body responding differently than it used to. A phone consultation helps determine whether this approach fits you. Feel free to call contact us with any questions. 316-613-0850
-
Follow-ups are used to adjust the plan, review symptoms, and talk through real-life challenges so progress stays steady and realistic. We offer convenient phone call follow up appointments, as well as in person visits.
-
Yes. Visits can be done via telemedicine across Kansas, with labs arranged locally when necessary. A video link can be provided if preferred.
-
We reassess habits, nutrition patterns, sleep, stress, and medication response. Plateaus are expected and usually fixable once we understand why they’re happening. The goal is to keep adjusting the plan to you, not simply continue treatment unchanged, so results remain realistic and sustainable over time.
