Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide):
How it helps treat obesity
Obesity is the most common chronic medical disease. Rather than having a simple solution of eating less and moving more, treatment requires a comprehensive approach. The addition of the medication Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) from Lilly is a powerful tool in the treatment of obesity. Tirzepatide is one of a new class of medications called GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists. Tirzepatide is only FDA approved for diabetes, but its effect on weight is dramatic: 22% weight loss in the SURMOUNT-1 study. That’s 44 pounds in a 200 pound person!
This molecule reduces appetite in three ways:
- It stimulates the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, resulting in feeling full and dramatically reducing appetite.
- It stimulates the GIP receptor, which enhances the effect of GLP-1.
- It slows emptying of the stomach, so food stays in the stomach longer, so there is less food available for the addition of new food.

How Many Treatments Are Involved?
Most patients require 3 to 4 LipoDissolve treatments*. In order to see optimal results, the patient should eat a healthy diet and include exercise in their routine. DreamBody’s Medical professionals can help with this.
Who Should Not Use LipoDissolve?
If you need to lose weight overall and your BMI is greater than 28, then LipoDissolve is not the best way to start. Instead, DreamBody can work with you to help you lose the weight with a variety of healthy, safe, and effective programs that are supervised by trained Medical Professionals. Once, you have reached a healthier weight, DreamBody will consult with you to decide is LipoDissolve is right for you.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone produced in women during pregnancy. The hormone converts fat to calories for the baby to use, and speeds up the mother’s metabolism. Those who follow a fat-free diet of 500 calories per day and receive Semaglutide injections will lose weight quickly; have high energy levels, faster metabolism and decreased hunger. This is because your hypothalamus moves the fat from areas of storage and converts it calories to fuel your body.*
How does Semaglutide work?
The DreamBody Semaglutide Diet Program is a physician managed weight loss program that allows patients to lose nearly a pound a day. Weight loss of 15-35 pounds in 20-40 days is common. The Semaglutide diet has been called the “obesity cure” because people are able to lose 1 to 2 pounds of fat or more per day and are able to keep the weight off. Semaglutide actually resets your “fat banking center” in your midbrain, an area of the brain that regulates several basic functions like temperature, thirst, hunger, and others.*
