Tirzepatide Weight Loss Program
Clinically Guided Weight Loss for Men and Women in Charleston, SC
Rhett Women’s Center offers a comprehensive, physician-supervised weight loss program using tirzepatide, a powerful medication designed to target multiple pathways involved in hunger, metabolism, and fat storage.
If you’ve tried diet and exercise without sustainable results, tirzepatide may be the effective next step toward long-term weight management and improved health.
Why Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that activates two key hormone receptors, GLP-1 and GIP, to support healthy weight loss. This dual-action therapy helps suppress appetite, improve metabolic function, and burn fat more efficiently than GLP-1 alone.
*Weight loss medications require a change in diet and lifestyle to prove effective.

FAQs
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite and weight loss within the first few weeks. Significant body fat reduction is often seen over 12–16 weeks.
What makes tirzepatide different from semaglutide?
Tirzepatide targets two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), which may result in faster weight loss for some patients compared to semaglutide, which targets only GLP-1.
Are there side effects?
Some patients experience mild nausea, especially when increasing the dose. Vitamin B-12 and dietary strategies can help minimize this.
Do I have to follow a specific diet?
We encourage low-starch, low-sugar eating, 3+ quarts of water daily, and daily movement to enhance your success with tirzepatide.
