Our Weight Loss Treatments: 

Wegovy (Semaglutide)  


Wegovy is an innovative treatment created to support long-term weight management. It mimics the hormone GLP-1, which controls appetite and food intake, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings.

Wegovy is perfect for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher who have a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure.

 Zepbound (Tirzepatide)

Zepbound is a newly developed weight loss medication that provides multiple benefits for managing obesity. It activates three key hormone receptors—GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon—associated with hunger regulation and energy use. Zepbound works on multiple metabolic pathways to decrease hunger and increase calorie burning. Zepbound is designed for adults with obesity (BMI of 30 or greater) or overweight adults (BMI 27 or greater) with a weight-related condition.

Weight Loss Therapy Q & A

What are the key differences between Wegovy and Zepbound?

Wegovy primarily focuses on the GLP-1 receptor, while Zepbound targets multiple receptors (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon), which may offer additional benefits for appetite suppression and energy expenditure. 

Are these treatments safe?

Both medications are FDA-approved and have undergone rigorous clinical testing. Side effects are possible, but most are manageable and tend to lessen over time. 

Which medication is right for me?

The best way to determine which medication is right for you is by scheduling an appointment to discuss your weight loss and health goals with Dr. Jennifer Ukwu. Together you will create a plan that helps you meet your goals and fits your lifestyle.  

Are Wegovy and Zepbound covered by my insurance?

While some insurance companies cover these medications others do not. It is best to contact your health insurance provider and ask if your prescription plan includes coverage for Wegovy or Zepbound.
