Semaglutide

Tirzepatide

Overview

GLP-1 receptor agonist

Mimics a natural hormone released after eating that helps regulate appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support healthy blood sugar levels.

GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist

Targets two metabolic hormone receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) that help regulate appetite, support fullness, and improve blood sugar control.

How do they work?

  • Target hormones that regulate hunger and fullness
  • Activate signals in the brain that control appetite
  • Slow how quickly food leaves the stomach
  • Help regulate how the body responds to food
  • Work across key pathways involved in metabolism
  • Help reduce food noise and cravings

What patients say

4.9/5 (2200 + 5 star reviews)
"Willow is hands down the best decision I've made for my health! The semaglutide injections have made it so much easier to lose weight, I don't feel hungry all the time, and I don't obsess over food anymore. I've lost 30 lbs, and I'm feeling more confident every day. Plus, their customer service is fantastic! 10/10 recommend!"
Ana O.
"I was 100% satisfied with the experience, then Willow managed to improve the experience even more when a non-weight loss related issue came up suddenly. I could not have asked for better response time & actions taken. I'm so happy I chose Willow given all of the providers out there."
Susan K.
"Nothing but a good experience with Willow. I'm almost to my goal weight. I've lost 25 lbs. From the doctors to the staff everyone is great and very responsive. I've referred a friend and she is having a great experience too. Highly recommended!"
