Compounded tirzepatide is changing lives every day. Many patients who’ve struggled for years — or even a lifetime — to lose extra weight have achieved success with tirzepatide.
As powerful as this injectable medication can be, it works even better when you get expert guidance.
At Simply Slim Medical, we understand that achieving lasting results requires a whole-patient approach. Our team, led by Dr. Matt Wolins, a bariatric medicine and anesthesiology specialist, offers compounded tirzepatide to help patients overcome weight struggles in Bethesda, MD, and Tysons, VA.
With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Wolins provides expert guidance on how to make the most of this effective weight loss treatment. If you’re considering compounded tirzepatide or already using it, these tips will help you get the best results.
Stick to Your Treatment Plan
Consistency and compounded tirzepatide should go hand in hand. Dr. Wolins prescribes individualized treatment schedules for every patient based on weight loss goals, general health concerns, lifestyle, activity level, and other factors.
The typical treatment plan for compounded tirzepatide is weekly injections. Sticking to that routine is the best way to control your appetite, blood sugar, and other health metrics.
We can alter your treatment plan as needed based on your results. For example, once you reach your goal weight, Dr. Wolins may recommend transitioning to a maintenance dose of compounded tirzepatide. Never increase your dose or injection frequency unless you discuss it with Dr. Wolins first. We recommend the unique individual plan that will give you the most reliable results.
Combine Tirzepatide with Healthy Lifestyle Habits
While compounded tirzepatide is an effective weight-loss tool, it works best with a healthy lifestyle. To maximize your results, consider incorporating these habits into your daily routine:
- Nutritious Foods: Whole foods, with lots of vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, provide satiety while keeping your calories and fats at the right level to lose weight. Aim to avoid processed foods and excessive sugar.
- Exercise: Incorporating physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or strength training, can help speed up weight loss and improve overall health.
- Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps you lose weight, keep your energy up, and support whole-body health. It can also help combat some common side-effects of tirzepatide (more on that in the next section.) and supports your metabolism and overall health.
Manage Side-Effects Properly
While many people don’t have any side effects while taking tirzepatide, it’s possible to experience problems like constipation, diarrhea, or stomach cramps.
Our team recommends simple ways to guard against and manage these issues, such as good hydration, avoiding greasy foods, and treating nutrient deficiencies (vitamin D is a common one, and we offer injections for an easy solution.)
