First step is a consultation. During this consultation we will answer all your questions, discuss your medical history, and create a treatment plan that's right for you.

Tirzepatide works by mimicking their effects including telling the pancreas to release insulin after eating and signaling the liver to lower the amount of glucose it's making, which helps lower blood sugar. They also signal the brain to help
