    Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) for Weight Loss

    Tirzepatide is a groundbreaking dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that has shown even greater weight loss results than semaglutide in clinical trials. FDA-approved for weight management as Zepbound (and for diabetes as Mounjaro), tirzepatide targets two incretin hormones instead of one, producing average weight loss of 20–25% of body weight — making it the most effective non-surgical weight loss treatment available. Like semaglutide, it's administered as a weekly injection and works by reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving metabolic function.
