GLP-1 and GIP Medical Weight Mangement In Lake Forest, CA.

Body Balance Health located in Orange County, California is now offering the highly sought-after prescription weight loss treatment, semaglutide and tirzepatide, given as a weekly injection.

How does the medication work?

GLP-1 medications (glucagon-like peptide-1), work to mimic the action of a naturally occurring hormone produced in the gut. They reduce appetite, control food cravings, and slow stomach emptying. This makes you feel full more quickly and for longer, leading to a decrease in calorie intake. When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, GLP-1s are a game changer.

Am I a candidate for GLP-1 medications?

A specific criterion must be met for a GLP-1 medication to be prescribed.

  • Body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater

  • BMI of 27 to 29.9 with a medical issue related to excess weight, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol
