What You Need to Know About Tirzepatide (Mounjaro™️) for Men’s Weight Loss

Frequently Asked Questions About Tirzepatide the FDA-Approved Type 2 Diabetes Weight Loss Drug

Are you struggling with weight loss despite eating plenty of lean protein, cutting carbs, and never missing a workout? You are not alone. Growing in popularity more than fad diets is the number of overweight and obese Americans. In fact, according to the CDC, an astonishing 41% of Americans are considered obese. 

Obesity is a chronic disease, and fortunately it is now being treated as such. Obesity can seriously effect on your confidence and energy levels—it also increases the chances of health conditions like heart disease and even cancer. What’s worse, depression in people with obesity is twice as high as in people who don't struggle with obesity. 

So, if you’re one of many who have tried everything from IIFYM (If it Fits Your Macros), to keto, to intermittent fasting to lose weight with no avail, read on. Tirzepatide works differently by combining two receptor agonists GLP-1 and GIP. A Tirzepatide, or Mounjaro™️ the FDA-approved weight loss treatment is coming in hot, and might be the missing piece for those working towards achieving a healthy weight and fitness goals.

Here’s everything you need to know about Tirzepatide.

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro) is an FDA-approved medication that treats Type 2 Diabetes and promotes weight loss. Tirzepatide can lower blood sugar levels and help with significant weight loss in people with or without diabetes. In clinical trials, nearly two-thirds of study participants reduced their body fat by at least 20 percent, spurring the FDA to fast-track the drug for weight loss.

How does Tirzepatide work? 

Tirzepatide is the first of its kind in that it combines two classes of medications: a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. If you slept through biochemistry class, what that means is Tirzepatide works by mimicking the effects of incretin hormones—or, hormones that are released after eating that regulate the insulin your pancreas secretes and lowers the amount of glucose your liver generates. In summary, this helps you to feel fuller longer, slows down digestion, and lowers your blood sugar. 

What’s the difference between Tirzepatide and Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is another weight-loss peptide medication that, similar to Tirzepatide, drove substantial weight loss in clinical trials. Obese study participants saw 15-18% weight loss in just 68 weeks of taking the medication. Doctor and co-author of the first trial shared that no other drug has come close to producing this level of weight loss and fat-burning results: that is until Tirzepatide made its grand entrance.

Semaglutide is a potent, long-acting GLP-1 analogue whereas Tirzepatide combines two classes of medications: GLP-1 and GIP (with Semaglutide being just the GLP-1). Further, in some studies, Tirzepatide was found to be superior in treating diabetes patients to Semaglutide. Tirzepatide is approved for the treatment of obesity.

Tirzepatide: Important Takeaways

  • In clinical trials, both Tirzepatide and Semaglutide drove substantial weight loss in obese and overweight people as well as successfully treated type 2 diabetes. 
  • Tirzepatide uses GIP and GLP-1 whereas Semaglutide is a GLP-1 only. 
  • Tirzepatide showed superiority to Semaglutide in treating diabetes, driving more substantial weight loss. 
  • Both Tirzepatide and Semaglutide yield substantial A1C reductions, accelerated weight loss, showed improvements in cardiometabolic measures, and suppressed appetite. 
  • Tizepatide is available in all states except Alabama and California.
  • Weight reduction was found in participants taking Tirzepatide who lost up to 52 lb. (24 kg) in a 72-week treatment phase.
