About WeightWorx
WeightWorx is a medical weight loss clinic based in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to helping you achieve your weight loss goals through safe and effective methods through our Semaglutide and Tirzepatide weight loss program.
We offer personalized weight loss plans tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Our services include nutritional counseling, exercise guidance, and medical supervision to ensure your success.
Medications
WeightWorx is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals. Our comprehensive program includes nutrition counseling, physical activity coaching, and the use of the latest compounded medications to help promote weight loss. We offer medications such as Semaglutide, which have been proven to be highly effective in promoting weight loss.
​
Compounding pharmacies can create custom-made medications to meet the specific needs of patients. They can be especially helpful when an FDA-approved medication is unavailable. Due to shortages and high demand for weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, some compounding pharmacies have started making their own versions of these drugs using semaglutide and tirzepatide compounds. These compounded versions can be less expensive than the brand-name drugs. Due to the national shortage of these medicines, we utilize a PCAB accredited pharmacy facility dedicated to providing the medical community with the highest quality of compounded pharmacy services who are able to customize your medicine to your exact needs.
We understand the struggles that individuals face when trying to lose weight, and our team
is committed to helping you reach your goals.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with 94% biologically similar to human GLP-1. Semaglutide binds and activates the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 is an important, gut-derived, glucose homeostasis regulator that is released after the oral ingestion of carbohydrates or fats.
​
In addition to increases in insulin secretion and synthesis, GLP-1 suppresses Glc secretion, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, and promotes beta-cell proliferation.
​
Semaglutide reduces blood glucose through a mechanism where it stimulates insulin secretion and lowers Glc secretion, both in a glucose-dependent manner. Therefore, when blood glucose is high, insulin secretion is stimulated and Glc secretion is inhibited. The mechanism of blood glucose lowering also involves a minor delay in gastric emptying in the early postprandial phase.
Benefits of semaglutide include:
1. Blood sugar control: Semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin, which helps move glucose into cells for energy, and by reducing the production of glucose in the liver.
​
2. Weight management: Semaglutide has been shown to promote weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, which can lead to decreased food intake and subsequent weight reduction.
​
3. Cardiovascular benefits: Clinical trials have demonstrated that semaglutide can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, and reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.
​
4. Once-weekly dosing: Semaglutide is administered once a week by subcutaneous injection, which offers convenience and may improve treatment adherence.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, meaning it activates two different hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels, suppress appetite, and slow gastric emptying
​
It helps improve blood sugar control by increasing insulin release when blood sugar levels are high and reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver.
​
Tirzepatide is also approved for weight loss in adults with obesity or weight-related medical problems. It works by decreasing appetite and slowing the movement of food through the stomach, which helps you feel full longer.
Tirzepatide is administered as a once-weekly injection. The dosage can vary, typically ranging from 2.5 mg to 15 mg per dose.
Effectiveness: Clinical trials have shown significant weight loss results. For example, patients on a 10 mg weekly dose of tirzepatide lost an average of 22.2 kg (48.9 lbs) over 72 weeks.
Benefits of tirzepatide include:
1. Blood sugar control: Tirzepatide helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin, which helps move glucose into cells for energy, and by reducing the production of glucose in the liver.
​
2. Weight management: Tirzepatide has been shown to promote weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, which can lead to decreased food intake and subsequent weight reduction.
​
3. Cardiovascular benefits: Clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, and reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.
​
4. Once-weekly dosing: Tirzepatide is administered once a week by subcutaneous injection, which offers convenience and may improve treatment adherence.
