Our weight management program at Hawaii Wellness now features two leading prescription peptides, Semaglutide and Mounjaro, designed to support sustainable weight management, metabolic health, and overall vitality. Administered under careful medical supervision, these therapies harness the body’s own hormonal pathways to help you achieve and maintain healthy body composition with reduced appetite, improved glycemic control, and enhanced energy.
Why Semaglutide and Mounjaro?
Appetite Regulation
Both Semaglutide and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) mimic gut hormones called GLP-1 (and in Mounjaro’s case, GIP) that signal satiety to your brain and helping you feel full sooner and reduce caloric intake without harsh stimulants.
Blood Sugar Support
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, these peptides improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control, stabilizing blood sugar levels and reducing cravings linked to glucose swings.
Sustainable Weight Loss
Clinical trials demonstrate average weight loss of 10–20% over 68 weeks with consistent dosing, making these therapies among the most effective non-surgical options for long-term fat reduction.
Metabolic & Cardiovascular Benefits
Beyond weight, patients often see improvements in blood pressure, lipid profiles, and markers of inflammation, supporting your overall health trajectory.
Who Can Benefit?
- Adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥27 seeking medical weight management
- Individuals with obesity-related conditions (e.g., prediabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension)
- Patients who’ve struggled with diet-and-exercise-only approaches
- Those seeking a clinically supported adjunct to lifestyle changes
All patients begin with a thorough evaluation to confirm eligibility and rule out contraindications such as personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome.
Your Therapy Journey
Comprehensive Medical Consultation
Meet with our advanced practice provider to review your health history, current medications, and weight-loss goals. Baseline labs (including thyroid panel, HbA1c, and liver function) ensure a safe start.
Personalized Dosing Protocol
- Semaglutide: Initiate at 0.25 mg weekly, titrating up to a maintenance dose of 1.0–2.4 mg as tolerated.
- Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): Begin at 2.5 mg weekly, increasing by 2.5 mg increments to a maximum of 15 mg.
Dose adjustments are guided by response and side-effect management (nausea, GI discomfort).
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
We schedule follow-up every 4–6 weeks to assess progress, adjust dosing, and address any concerns. Our registered dietitian and behavioral coach offer optional nutritional planning and habit-building strategies to enhance outcomes.
Maintenance
After achieving target weight loss, we develop a personalized maintenance plan potentially tapering dose while reinforcing healthy lifestyle practices for sustained results.
