EDUCATIONAL · HOW IT WORKS

How medical weight loss works.

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic a hormone your gut releases after eating. They slow digestion and signal fullness to your brain, so you feel satisfied with less food and fewer cravings, which drives steady, meaningful weight loss.

At SOM, these medications are only prescribed after a licensed medical provider confirms you are a candidate, and they are paired with dosing guidance, monitoring, and nutrition support. They are a medical tool, not a shortcut, and work best as part of a supervised plan.
