GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
Serenity Wellness and Family Practice specializes in GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, two of the most effective medications available for long-term weight management. These medications work by mimicking the body’s natural hormones to regulate appetite and blood sugar, making it easier to eat less and lose weight.
Monthly injection plans available — prices will vary based on each patient’s unique treatment plan.
How GLP-1 Medications Work:
Reduce Appetite: By lowering your hunger signals, helping you consume fewer calories.
Delay Stomach Emptying: Keeps you feeling fuller for longer, reducing the need to snack between meals.
Lower Blood Sugar Levels: Increases insulin production and decreases glucagon secretion to manage blood sugar.
Fat Reduction: Helps to target fat loss, not just overall weight loss.
These Medications are Ideal for:
Obese individuals (BMI ≥ 30) or overweight individuals (BMI ≥ 27) with one or more weight-related co
Benefits include:
- Reduced food intake by lowering appetite
- Significant weight loss and fat reduction

Phentermine

Phentermine
Serenity Wellness and Family Practice offers Phentermine, a prescription medication used for short-term weight management, often prescribed as part of a comprehensive Medical Weight Loss program. It works as an appetite suppressant by stimulating the release of brain chemicals that help control hunger, making it easier to reduce caloric intake. By curbing appetite and boosting energy levels, phentermine supports patients in achieving a calorie deficit, which is essential for weight loss.
How it Works:
Phentermine activates neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly norepinephrine, which signals to the body a sense of fullness and reduces cravings. This action helps patients adhere to a reduced-calorie diet without the discomfort of constant hunger, providing an extra level of support for those struggling to start or maintain weight loss.
Benefits of Phentermine:
- Effective Appetite Control: Helps curb hunger, making it easier to follow a healthy eating plan.
- Increased Energy: Boosts energy, making it easier to engage in physical activities.
- Enhanced Weight Loss Support: When combined with lifestyle changes, phentermine can lead to more significant, sustained weight loss.
- Medically Supervised: Phentermine is only available through medical supervision, ensuring safe and monitored progress.
Used under the guidance of healthcare professionals, phentermine can be a valuable tool for those seeking fast and effective weight loss results, particularly when paired with supportive lifestyle changes and medical supervision.

Methionine, Inositol, and Choline work together to help the body metabolize fats, reduce fat storage, and improve liver function, while Vitamin B12 boosts energy and overall metabolism.
Benefits of MICC Lipotropic Injection
- Increased Fat Burning: Helps mobilize and break down stored fat, promoting more efficient weight loss.
- Enhanced Energy Levels: Provides an energy boost, aiding in daily activity and exercise performance.
