Transformative Weight Loss With GLP‐1 and Dual GLP‐1/GIP Treatments
At Fountain of Youth Rejuvenate Center in Allen, Texas we offer a physician‐supervised medical weight‐loss program that leverages cutting‐edge medications alongside nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Our team of board‐certified medical providers and wellness specialists takes a holistic approach to weight management. We use medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide ‒ modern therapies from the GLP‐1 (glucagon‐like peptide‐1) family that help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. When paired with a sensible diet and regular exercise, these treatments can lead to significant, sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health.
What Are GLP‐1 Medications?
GLP‐1 agonists were originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but studies have shown they also support weight loss. GLP‐1 medications balance hormones that control hunger and satiety, normalize insulin and glucose levels, and slow the rate at which the stomach empties food. The slower gastric emptying and improved insulin response help people feel full longer and reduce overall calorie intake. In a clinical trial cited by MOBO Medical Spa, people taking GLP‐1 agonists lost about 15% of their body weight on average, and nearly a third lost 20%. These medications should always be combined with a calorie‐controlled diet and exercise for the best results.
Semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Rybelsus®)
- Mimics GLP‐1: Semaglutide acts like the naturally occurring GLP‐1 hormone, reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. It also helps the pancreas release more insulin and slows stomach emptying.
- Medication forms: Wegovy® is FDA‐approved for chronic weight management, while Ozempic® and Rybelsus® are approved for diabetes and provide weight‐loss benefits as a secondary effect.
- Clinical results: A 2021 study reported that participants taking semaglutide (Wegovy®) lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks.
- Who may benefit: People who struggle with excess weight or have obesity‐related health concerns often see significant improvements in both weight and blood sugar control with semaglutide.
- Side effects: Common effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. Serious but rare risks (e.g., pancreatitis or medullary thyroid cancer) mean you should not take GLP‐1s if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.
Tirzepatide (e.g., ZepboundTM, Mounjaro®)
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP‐1/GIP receptor agonist (also called a “twincretin”). It activates both the GLP‐1 and GIP hormones to enhance appetite control and metabolic benefits. Although it is FDA‐approved for type 2 diabetes, it has not yet received specific weight‐loss approval. In a clinical trial referenced by a medical spa, adults with obesity taking Tirzepatide for 68 weeks lost an average of 12% of their body weight—roughly five times more than the placebo group. Because Tirzepatide targets two appetite‐regulating pathways, many patients experience greater weight loss than with single‐hormone medications.
How Our Program Works
- Comprehensive consultation – We begin with an in‐depth evaluation that includes a physical exam, medical history review, and laboratory testing. This helps us determine whether Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is appropriate and safe for you.
- Personalized treatment plan – Our providers customize your dosage and injection schedule based on your goals, health status, and potential insurance coverage. According to True Bliss Medical Spa, factors like dosage and frequency of injections affect the cost, which typically ranges from $1,000–$1,500 per month. We work to make treatments affordable and will discuss membership or package options.
- Lifestyle coaching – Medications are only one component of our program. We provide dietary guidance, meal‐planning resources, and personal training sessions or exercise recommendations. MOBO Medical Spa notes that GLP‐1s work best when patients make dietary changes and exercise regularly; we agree and support you every step of the way.
- Weekly injections and monitoring – Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are administered once weekly via a small subcutaneous injection. We either teach you to self‐inject or offer in‐clinic injections if you prefer. Our medical team monitors your progress through follow‐up visits and adjusts your dosage as needed.
- Ongoing support – You’ll have access to our team for questions about side effects, nutrition, exercise, and emotional wellness. If you experience nausea or other side effects, we can provide tips such as eating bland meals and staying hydrated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Both medications have been studied extensively, but they may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Rare risks include pancreatitis and certain thyroid cancers, so a thorough medical evaluation is essential.
Many patients begin noticing reduced cravings and modest weight loss within the first month. Significant results usually appear after several months as the medication builds up in your system. Clinical studies show average weight‐loss results of 15% or more for GLP‐1s and about 12% for Tirzepatide, but individual results vary.
Yes. GLP‐1 drugs work best when combined with a calorie‐controlled, nutrient‐dense diet and regular physical activity. We create meal plans that emphasize lean proteins, vegetables, healthy fats and minimal processed foods.
Not everyone is a candidate. People with a history of pancreatitis, medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid GLP‐1 treatments. A medical consultation and lab work are required to confirm eligibility.
