From there, we design a plan that includes: Prescription medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide) or oral appetite suppressants Nutrition support tailored to your metabolic needs Regular provider check-ins to guide progress and adjust dosing Monthly Styku 3D body scans to measure fat loss, lean mass, and body shape changes, not just weight Medications work by regulating hunger, controlling cravings, stabilizing blood sugar, and improving insulin sensitivity
Ipamorelin, acting on GHS-R receptors, simultaneously suppresses somatostatin and adds a separate stimulatory input
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist requiring specific temperature conditions to maintain therapeutic activity and protein structure integrity
Tirzepatide offers proven effectiveness with established safety profiles
Tretinoin may also cause skin irritation, and is better tolerated whilst a patient is asleep
