You’ll leave with an understanding of your plan to prepare you for long-term success.

Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
How do these medications work as part of a weight management program?
- Tirzepatide: By targeting two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, it decreases hunger, encourages fullness, and improves metabolic health. It’s highly effective for people looking to lose a significant amount of weight.
- Semaglutide: Works by singling out the GLP-1 hormone to control appetite, slow digestion, and decrease sensitivity to insulin, resulting in effective and sustainable weight loss.
- Phentermine: Works alongside the central nervous system to suppress the appetite. It’s an effective, short-term option to kickstart your weight loss journey.
Which medication is best for weight loss?
The decision varies based on your personal needs and weight loss goals:
- Tirzepatide or Semaglutide are effective options for anyone seeking long-term weight management with consistent results, especially if you’re also looking to regulate blood sugar or have concerns with insulin resistance.
- Phentermine is an excellent choice for those early on in their weight loss journey who are looking to temporarily curb their appetite and shed weight quickly as part of a strict regimen.
Our team of Younique providers will help you select the proper option—or options—based on your unique goals and medical history.
What are the main benefits of each medication in your weight management protocols?
- Tirzepatide: Delivers dual-action improvements for weight loss and metabolic health, guiding you toward real results while treating underlying metabolic conditions.
- Semaglutide: An effective option for weight management, proven to increase control over appetite and encourage blood sugar regulation.
- Phentermine: Provides a fast-acting boost to jumpstart your weight loss adventure, making your personalized path easier to follow.
These medications have the ability to provide impressive results when paired with our holistic outlook.
Are there differences in side effects to consider?
- Tirzepatide and Semaglutide: Both can lead to mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal discomfort, particularly during the first few weeks. Typically, these conditions improve with time.
- Phentermine: May lead to dry mouth, increased heart rate, or insomnia as a result of its stimulant ingredients. Our team thoroughly monitors your progress to help minimize effects and ensure your comfort.
