Tailored to Your Individual Goals

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Grapevine, we are proud to offer in-person Zepbound® (tirzepatide) prescriptions as part of our medically supervised weight loss programs. This innovative treatment supports long-term weight management by influencing the body’s natural metabolic signals. Our skilled providers work with you to develop a weight loss plan tailored to your individual goals and lifestyle.

Potential to Lose Up to 20% of Body Weight

Zepbound is an FDA-approved injectable medication designed to aid weight loss in adults who are either clinically obese or overweight with a weight-related health condition. By imitating natural gut hormones, Zepbound may help reduce appetite, enhance satiety, and balance blood sugar levels. When used alongside healthy eating and physical activity, many patients experience substantial weight loss—potentially up to 20% of their starting weight.*

Our team in Grapevine provides face-to-face assessments to ensure Zepbound is appropriate for your needs and monitors your progress every step of the way.

How Zepbound Supports Weight Management

Zepbound functions by activating two hormone receptors in the body—GLP-1 and GIP. These gut hormones communicate with the brain to reduce hunger cues, slow gastric emptying, and promote a lasting feeling of fullness. As a result, you may feel satisfied with smaller meals, which can help reduce overall calorie intake.

In addition to appetite regulation, Zepbound helps manage blood glucose levels and supports insulin function, making it a valuable option for those dealing with insulin resistance or prediabetes. Its multi-targeted approach addresses several mechanisms that contribute to weight gain, making it a powerful tool in medical weight loss.

What to Expect from the Zepbound Program in Grapevine

Your journey with Zepbound at our Grapevine clinic begins with a thorough medical evaluation, including lab testing and goal setting. If you’re a good candidate for treatment, you’ll be instructed on how to self-administer Zepbound using a simple, prefilled pen—typically injected weekly in the abdomen or thigh.

Our care team will guide your dosing schedule, which starts low and gradually increases, to minimize side effects and maximize effectiveness. You’ll receive continuous support throughout your treatment journey.

Understanding Insurance Coverage for Zepbound

Zepbound coverage may differ based on your insurance provider. Some private insurers may cover the medication, usually with prior authorization. Medicare could also cover it under certain health conditions. Our Grapevine team will help you explore your insurance options and provide assistance navigating the approval process.

Zepbound FAQs

When will I start to see results?

Many patients begin to notice changes in their weight within the first few weeks, especially when following a structured nutrition and exercise plan. More significant progress is often observed by the 8 to 12-week mark.

Is Zepbound safe to use?

Zepbound is FDA-approved and has undergone extensive clinical testing. Like other medications, it may cause side effects, and serious risks—such as thyroid tumors—have been observed in animal studies. It is not recommended for those with a history of certain thyroid cancers. Our medical staff in Grapevine will monitor your response to treatment and help manage any side effects that occur.

How is Zepbound administered?

Zepbound is a once-weekly injection using a prefilled pen. It’s injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, with site rotation recommended for comfort and effectiveness.
