Frequently Asked Questions

What are these new weight loss drugs?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are in a class of peptides called incretins. Incretin hormones are gut peptides that are secreted after nutrient intake and stimulate insulin secretion together with hyperglycemia.

How do they work?

GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) und GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) are the known incretin hormones from the upper (GIP, K cells) and lower (GLP-1, L cells) gut. They interact with either the GLP-1 or GIP insulin receptors changing the body’s response to insulin hormone.

How do we make this weight loss therapy affordable??

While the base molecule is structurally similar to Ozempic, Wegovy and/or Mounjaro, our semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded generic peptides which we can provide to you at a preferred rate.

How much and how fast can you lose the weight?

Studies of semaglutide showed an average 15.9% weight loss after 18-months.

Individuals signed up with our Fat Buster program see an overall average weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week. Metabolic slowdowns (plateaus), however, are unique to each individual.

Is Fat Buster for everyone?

Type 1 diabetics, individuals on insulin or taking other drugs in this class, individuals with a history of medullary thyroid cancer or the MEN2 mutation, individuals with pancreatitis or active gallbladder disease, and women trying to conceive or who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not candidates for the Fat Buster program.

What are the side effects?

Up to 1/3 of individuals experience nausea, which may lead to vomiting and dehydration and other health consequences including ITI and kidney stones, if unmanaged. Changes in bowel movements, including loose stools and/or constipation are common. Other side effects include heart burn. All side effects are more common in individuals with a history of nausea, GERD, and IBS.  

What is the Fat Buster program?

16-weeks of increasing dose levels of semaglutide or tirzepatide. Increases happen every 1-4 weeks, depending on side effects and weight loss. Weight loss can occur at any dose level. Individuals may administer shots at home or come in for the weight loss injections at our DTC office.

Are there any diet or exercise requirements to participate?

No specific diet or exercise is required to participate in Fat Buster. Original studies showed a minor difference in overall weight loss despite strict or average diets and exercise regimens. We recommend a Mediterranean diet rich in non-starchy vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and healthy fats and 150 minutes of physical activity a week. These have been shown to promote cardiovascular and brain health.

How much does the program cost?

An intake visit fee of $150 will be assessed for new patients before the Fat Buster program begins. 16-week program pricing starts as low as $350/month and will vary depending on semaglutide vs tirzepatide injections.*

*Pricing subject to change. Program inclusions and availability may be added or discontinued at any time without notice. Please ask us about financing options and payment plans available to you.

Is there ongoing support?

We are pleased to offer our Fat Buster patients access to education and ongoing support via Nuuaria®. Plus live lunchtime video support sessions every other week.
