Sustainable Weight Reduction

Our dedicated team crafts a custom approach for each patient to support sustainable progress and holistic health.

Potential to Lose a Significant Percentage of Your Weight

Zepbound is an FDA-approved medication for weight management in adults who are obese or overweight and have at least one related health condition. It functions by mimicking certain natural gut hormones to suppress appetite, enhance satiety, and support healthy blood sugar control. When used in conjunction with a lower-calorie diet and regular physical activity, Zepbound has been shown in clinical studies to help individuals lose up to 20% of their body weight.*

At our Corona clinic, Genesis Lifestyle Medicine provides in-person evaluations to determine whether Zepbound is a suitable component of your overall treatment plan. Our experienced providers are here to guide you each step of the way.

Side Effects to Consider

Some individuals taking Zepbound may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach discomfort, bloating, fatigue, reactions at the injection site, heartburn, or hair thinning. In rare cases, more serious reactions, such as allergic responses or potential thyroid tumors, may occur. Zepbound is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Please review the full safety information at Zepbound Safety Information.

How Zepbound Works

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Zepbound, mimics two naturally occurring hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that help regulate hunger and digestion. These hormones work by sending satiety signals to the brain, slowing gastric emptying, and improving insulin response. Together, these effects can help reduce calorie intake and enhance weight management efforts.

Zepbound's dual action supports appetite suppression while also improving glucose control, which may benefit individuals with insulin resistance or other metabolic concerns. Its multifaceted mechanism is what makes it an effective tool when paired with diet and lifestyle adjustments.
