Tirzepatide Medication for Weight Loss

New Weight-Loss Program on the Market

Available at Restoration Heath Care, Tirzepatide is among the hottest weight loss programs on the market. Also known as Mounjaro, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA), Tirzepatide decreases “gastric emptying” but, with the addition of the GIP receptor, it also works by imitating not one, but two unique incretin hormones produced by the human body. 

Incretin hormones are released whenever food is consumed. Among other things, they help promote a feeling of fullness by delaying gastric emptying and activating the satiety centers in the brain. They also boost insulin production in the pancreas and suppress glucagon production, both of which help normalize blood sugars.

All told, Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is impactful enough to lower your set point: the weight your body naturally settles at due to an interplay of genetics, biology, and environment. In other words, you’ll lose weight and keep it off for the long haul because GLP-1 medication narrows the gap by making it easier to reach your weight loss goal and lower your metabolic set point. 

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) has the benefit of the extra receptor GIP and may feel a little more aggressive as far as the sensation of feeling full. Our Tirzepatide program is $540 for a month (4 shots). You can lose 22.5% of your body weight after 72 weeks. It may be repeated month to month for as long as necessary to reach your goal.

If you’re interested in trying Tirzepatide, we’re accepting new patients. Same-day and walk-in patients are available. Call us in Hot Springs or Bentonville for more information or to make an appointment.
