Semaglutide

(compounded Ozempic/Wegovy)

Semaglutide is a revolutionary medication that will help you achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall quality of life.

Typically patients lose 15-18% of their total body weight in a year.

How it works:

Semaglutide mimics a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. It helps your body process insulin more efficiently, especially after meals. This helps regulate your blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of sugar your liver makes. Semaglutide also slows down the emptying of your stomach and helps you feel full sooner into your meal, which leads to weight loss for most people. Lastly, and most importantly, it works at the brain to increase the perception of fullness which makes eating less more pleasant.

$550 for 10mg bottle

(for first time users, this bottle will last 3.5 months.)

Tirzepatide

(Compounded Monjaro/Zepbound)

Tirzepatide is a revolutionary medication that will help you achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall quality of life.

Patients typically lose 18-20% of their total body weight in a year.

How it works:

Tirzepatide mimics the naturally occurring hormones called GLP-1 and GIP. It helps your body process insulin more efficiently, especially after meals. This helps regulate your blood sugar levels and reduces the amount of sugar your liver makes. Tirzepatide also slows down the emptying of your stomach and helps you feel full sooner into your meal, which leads to weight loss for most people. Lastly, and most importantly, it works at the brain to increase the perception of fullness which makes eating less more pleasant.

$850 for 50mg

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key to weight loss? The fundamental equation for weight loss is that if you eat more calories than your metabolism can handle, you will store it as excess weight. GLP-1 medications help people eat fewer calories, leading to weight loss. By helping the brain feel satisfied with less food, these medications also make the weight loss journey more enjoyable.

Why are we using a diabetes medication for weight loss? In the world of research, scientists have known for some time that a hormone called GLP-1 can help the body process insulin better and control how food moves out of the stomach. They wanted to see if giving a boost of a GLP-1 mimic to people with type 2 diabetes could help them manage their diabetes through diet. In clinical trials, Sthey found that people taking these GLP-1 mimics saw a drop in their A1c levels and were better able to control their diabetes. They also noticed that these patients were losing a lot of weight, which was an added bonus. Because GLP-1 medications don't lower blood sugar levels in patients, drug companies decided to test if giving these medications to people without diabetes could help them lose weight. And it worked! This shows how a medication originally meant for diabetes patients ended up helping many overweight individuals shed pounds. It's a great example of how a medication designed for one thing can turn out to be really effective for something else.Why are we using a diabetes medication for weight loss?

Why are there so many names out there for these medications? These medications were initially tested for controlling diabetes and then later for weight loss. As a result, each major GLP-1 agonist medication has two brand names. For example, the generic medication Semaglutide was originally branded with the name Ozempic for controlling diabetes, while the same medication was approved by the FDA for weight loss under the name Wegovy. Similarly, the generic drug Tirzepatide initially had the brand name Mounjaro and was later allowed by the FDA to be released for weight loss under the name Zepbound.

What’s the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide? Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide target receptors for the natural hormone GLP-1. However, Tirzepatide also binds to an additional receptor called GIP. Because it interacts with two different receptors, Tirzepatide is considered to be somewhat more effective for weight loss, with the potential for a greater reduction in total body weight – up to 18 to 20% at its highest dose, compared to 15 to 18% seen in clinical trials for Semaglutide. While Tirzepatide shows slightly better success rates for weight loss, its dual action does come with a higher likelihood of side effects and typically a higher cost. Both medications are effective for weight loss and are available for use.

When will I start losing weight? GLP-1 agonists are powerful for weight loss but may take some time to begin working. Some patients require up to three months to start seeing results. Starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it is key to minimize side effects, and the first several months of taking these medications are more for getting the patient accustomed to having a boost of GLP-1. Once at a weekly dose that is effective for you as an individual, patients can expect to lose 1-3 pounds per week. Most will need to take these medications at least for 6-12 months to reach their weight loss goals.

Can I skip the starter doses and move to the most effective doses of the medication right away? No! Just like you wouldn't let a new driver step on the gas in a Ferrari, it's important to start these medications slowly to reduce side effects. If you're new to these medications, it's essential to begin with smaller doses and gradually increase them over time.

How long will I have to be on these medications? Just like you wouldn't let a new driver step on the gas in a Ferrari right away, it's important to start these medications slowly to reduce side effects. If you're new to these medications, it's essential to begin with smaller doses and gradually increase them.

Will the medication cause my stomach to be paralyzed? While there are some side effects associated with taking GLP-1 agonists, the media tends to exaggerate them. Common side effects of these medications include nausea, acid reflux, and constipation. One sensationalized side effect is gastroparesis, also known as stomach paralysis. This condition can affect some diabetics, causing episodes of severe vomiting due to nerve dysfunction in the stomach caused by high blood sugar levels. GLP-1 medications may lower the threshold for these episodes. However, for non-diabetics, this is rarely a concern. Most diabetics also never experience this condition.

What is "Ozempic face"? Rapid weight loss can be visually striking, sometimes leading to the myth of "Ozempic face" in the media, where patients appear to have a smaller, lean face. It's important to note that GLP-1 medications do not selectively decrease muscle mass. Like with any weight loss method, there will be some loss of both muscle and fat. To maintain muscle mass, it's crucial to consume a balanced diet with adequate lean proteins. GLP-1 medications do not cause a disproportionate loss of muscle compared to other weight loss strategies.

Will the medicine shut down my kidneys? GLP-1 medications do not interact directly with your kidneys. The warning regarding kidney issues is tied to the potential risk for nausea and vomiting. If you are unable to keep anything down, there is a potential for becoming dehydrated. Dehydration can result in acute kidney injury.

I thought compound medications were unsafe? At Every Recharge Wellness, we partner with a trusted compounding pharmacy approved by the FDA to prepare GLP-1 agonists and various other peptides. The medications you receive are free from any additional additives and mirror the pharmaceutical prescriptions precisely.

What will my bottle of medication look like? Your vial of medication will come inside of a traditional-looking pill bottle. The directions for how much medication to take are on the pill bottle. The actual vial will contain the medication that you will draw up and inject. The bottle will not be completely full but will look approximately halfway full.

What is a unit? A unit is a measurement of volume. The syringes used for your prescription only hold very small amounts of medication. One hundred units equal 1 mL. The conversion of milligrams to units has been calculated for you. Each vial of medication usually contains 500 units. For Semaglutide prescriptions, you will receive a total of 10 mg, equivalent to 500 units. For Tirzepatide prescriptions, you will receive 50 mg, also equivalent to 500 units.

How long will it take to get my medication? Once your final deposit is made, your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy. It usually takes about five business days for the medication to reach your home. Your package will include the medication, alcohol pads, and syringes.

What happens when I am in need of a new prescription? When you are running low on your medication, please visit our website at www.rechargewellnesshealth.com and click on the medication refill request. Dr. Harris will then contact you to discuss your progress and plan your next treatment.
