A note from Dr. Green

“Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are effective, clinically proven treatments for weight loss. Tirzepatide tends to lead to greater weight loss for many patients, while Semaglutide remains a strong, reliable option. The right choice depends on your goals, preferences, and budget. We’re here to help you find what fits best.”

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 started Willow five months ago, and I’m already 35 lbs down! The tirzepatide injections are easy to administer (seriously, I was terrified at first, but it’s painless). My favorite thing about Willow is how supportive the doctors are. I’ve had a few questions about adjusting my dose, and they responded so quickly with helpful advice. It feels like I have a real team behind me!
Amanda R.
“I joined Willow after feeling stuck for years, and it’s been a breath of fresh air. The whole process was simple, and my provider made me feel understood from the start. They didn’t rush me or make me feel judged, just offered clear guidance that actually fit my life.”
