FAQs
What is Tirzepatide?
1
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that helps support weight loss by mimicking two natural hormones in the body (GLP-1 and GIP). These hormones help regulate appetite, slow stomach emptying, improve feelings of fullness, and support healthy blood sugar levels. Many patients find that Tirzepatide helps reduce cravings, control portion sizes, and make healthy lifestyle changes easier to maintain.
How much weight can I lose?
2
Weight loss results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as starting weight, dosage, nutrition, activity level, and consistency with treatment.
Many patients begin noticing changes within the first few weeks. Clinical studies have shown average weight loss of up to 15-22% of body weight over time when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
At Vivia Health, our goal is sustainable, long-term success—not quick fixes.
