What Are GLP-1 and GIP Weight Loss Medications?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) medications are a new class of injectable treatments that support safe and sustainable weight loss. These medications mimic natural gut hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. By slowing digestion, reducing hunger, and helping you feel fuller longer, they make it easier to eat less and lose weight without feeling deprived.

  • Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that’s FDA-approved and widely known under names like Ozempic® and Wegovy®.

  • Tirzepatide combines GLP-1 and GIP activity, offering dual action that often results in greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide alone.

  • Retatrutide, currently in late-stage clinical studies, is a next-generation triple agonist (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon) showing even more powerful results for weight management and metabolic health.

At MedLounge San Ramon, we use these breakthrough medications under medical supervision to help clients from San Ramon, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek achieve real, lasting results. Our team customizes each program to your body and goals, combining these medications with lifestyle guidance for maximum success.

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural gut hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar levels rise, while also lowering glucagon (the hormone that raises blood sugar). At the same time, it slows down how quickly the stomach empties, helping you feel fuller for longer. Together, these effects not only improve blood sugar control but also significantly reduce appetite and food intake, leading to steady weight loss.

Tirzepatide combines the power of GLP-1 with another hormone called GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). Like GLP-1, GIP enhances insulin release after meals, but it also plays a role in how the body processes fat and energy. By targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, Tirzepatide provides stronger blood sugar control, greater appetite suppression, and improvements in fat metabolism compared to GLP-1 alone. This dual action makes it highly effective for weight loss and overall metabolic health.

Retatrutide is the newest and most advanced option, acting on three pathways: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. While GLP-1 and GIP work together to improve insulin response, curb appetite, and optimize fat metabolism, the glucagon component adds another powerful effect—increasing energy expenditure and fat burning. This triple action not only helps the body manage blood sugar and suppress hunger but also boosts calorie burning, making it one of the most effective medications studied for weight loss and metabolic balance.

How Our San Ramon Weight Loss Program Works

Trying something new for your health shouldn’t be confusing or stressful. Here’s what you can expect from a typical weight loss journey at MedLounge San Ramon.

Consultation

Before beginning, you’ll meet with one of our experienced providers for a personal consultation. We’ll review your health history, current weight, and goals to ensure GLP-1/GIP therapy is a safe and effective option for you. This is also the perfect time to ask questions about the process.

Planning

If the program is the right fit, we’ll conduct a body composition analysis and discuss your lifestyle habits, nutrition, and activity level. Together, we’ll create a tailored plan designed to maximize results and support long-term success.

The Procedure

GLP-1/GIP therapy is administered as a small subcutaneous injection (just under the skin), typically in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Injections are performed weekly and are quick, taking only a few minutes. Most clients describe it as nearly painless.

Recovery Expectations

There’s no downtime—you can return to normal activities right away. Some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, bloating, or decreased appetite, which usually improve as the body adjusts. Your provider will guide you through any needed support.

Typical Treatment Plan

Weight loss results are gradual and steady, averaging 1–3 pounds per week with lifestyle changes. We typically recommend ongoing weekly injections, with regular follow-ups to monitor your progress and adjust as needed. Once the desired weight is achieved, you will be titrated down to a base dose and, depending on your goals, may remain on a low maintenance dose for continued support.
