How Zepbound Supports Weight Management

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Zepbound, works by activating two natural hormone receptors—GLP-1 and GIP—that regulate hunger, digestion, and blood sugar. These hormones signal the brain to reduce food intake, increase satiety, and slow digestion, making it easier to feel full with smaller meals.

Beyond appetite regulation, Zepbound can help improve insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels—particularly beneficial for individuals with prediabetes or insulin resistance. By addressing several metabolic pathways simultaneously, Zepbound can offer a powerful approach to weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

What to Expect During Your Zepbound Journey in Las Vegas

Your journey begins with a comprehensive, in-person consultation at our Las Vegas Genesis Lifestyle Medicine clinic. We’ll evaluate your medical background, perform lab work, and discuss your goals to determine whether Zepbound is suitable.

If prescribed, you’ll be instructed on how to self-administer the medication using a prefilled pen. Injections are done once weekly—typically in the thigh or abdomen—and dosages are gradually adjusted under clinical supervision to help minimize side effects and optimize results.

Insurance & Coverage Information

Zepbound coverage can differ depending on your insurance provider. Many private plans may cover it with prior authorization, and in some cases, Medicare may also offer coverage for certain qualifying conditions. Our team in Las Vegas is here to assist you in navigating insurance requirements and verifying your options.
