Our Weight Loss Products
Every clinician-guided GLP-1 option we offer, in one place.
Semaglutide
A once-weekly GLP-1 with a gentle titration. Common first step for steady appetite control.
Tirzepatide
A dual GIP/GLP-1 that pairs appetite reduction with improved insulin sensitivity.
How GLP-1 weight loss treatment works
GLP-1 and GIP are gut hormones your body releases after meals. They signal fullness, slow how quickly food leaves your stomach, and help regulate blood sugar — the combination that quiets what many patients call 'food noise' and makes smaller portions feel like enough.
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide activate these pathways. The difference is how many pathways they hit and how deep the response tends to go. Your clinician recommends a starting molecule and titration plan based on your history, goals, and how you tolerate the first weeks.
Medication is only half of it. Sustained results come from pairing your GLP-1 with steady protein intake, resistance-based movement, and enough sleep to keep hunger hormones from swinging. Your care team helps you build those anchors alongside your dose so the weight you lose is fat, not muscle — and so it stays off after you taper.

Guidance built around your dose — so results stick after you taper. Clinicians and Support when you need it.
Compare options
| Semaglutide | Tirzepatide | |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | GLP-1 receptor agonist | Dual GIP+GLP-1 receptor agonist |
| Cadence | Once-weekly self-injection | Once-weekly self-injection |
| Titration | 0.25 mg → up to 2.5 mg / week | 2.5 mg → up to 15 mg / week |
| Response pattern | Gradual, steady appetite reduction | Strong appetite reduction, often deeper past month 3 |
| Common side effects | Mild GI (nausea, reflux) early in titration | Similar GI pattern; slower step-up improves tolerance |
How to choose
- Start with semaglutide ifYou want a gentler on-ramp and a well-studied first GLP-1. A common starting point for most patients.
- Start with tirzepatide ifYou want the dual GIP+GLP-1 mechanism and a deeper appetite response, and you're comfortable with a slightly slower titration to protect tolerance.
- Switch or step up ifYour response plateaus or side effects don't settle — your clinician can adjust the molecule, dose, or cadence.
Is a GLP-1 right for you?
- You have 15+ pounds you've struggled to lose through diet and exercise alone.
- You experience persistent 'food noise' — constant thoughts about your next meal or snack.
- You want a clinician-guided plan with real check-ins, not a chatbot script.
- You're ready to pair medication with steady habits over the next 3–12 months.
- You're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2.
- You have a history of pancreatitis or severe GI motility disorders.
- You're looking for a quick, short-term fix without lifestyle changes.
Common questions
How much weight can I expect to lose?+
Results vary. Clinical studies of these molecules show meaningful, sustained weight loss over 6–12 months when paired with steady habits. Your clinician sets realistic expectations at intake.
How are the injections given?+
Weekly self-injection at home with a fine-gauge needle. Most patients describe it as quick and comfortable after the first dose.
Are the side effects manageable?+
Mild GI symptoms — nausea, reflux, constipation — are the most common and usually appear early in titration. A slower step-up almost always improves tolerance.
What happens if I stop?+
Appetite typically returns toward your baseline over time. Your clinician will discuss a maintenance plan when you're ready to taper or pause.
Do you take insurance?+
No — Taggs is a direct-pay program. That keeps pricing predictable and avoids the prior-authorization gauntlet most GLP-1 patients run into with insurance.
How is the medication shipped?+
Cold-chain packed with ice, in unbranded packaging, direct to your address. Everything you need — vial, syringes, alcohol pads, sharps container — arrives together.
Can I switch from semaglutide to tirzepatide (or back)?+
Yes. If your response plateaus or you'd prefer a different tolerability profile, your clinician can transition you between molecules with an appropriate washout and restart.
Will I lose muscle along with fat?+
Some lean mass loss is normal on any calorie deficit. Prioritizing protein (roughly 0.8–1 g per pound of goal body weight) and resistance training preserves the muscle that keeps your metabolism healthy long-term.
