How It Works

1. Meet with the Doc and Nutritionist.

2. See if medical weight loss is right for you.

3. Receive weekly injections in our clinic or at your home.

Semaglutide (GLP-1)

Semaglutide has become a popular GLP-1 weight loss medication and is the active ingredient in popular drugs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are a class of medications utilized to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. What does that mean? A peptide is a molecule that contains two or more amino acids. An agonist is a drug or substance that binds to a receptor inside or on the surface of a cell and causes the same action as the substance that normally binds to the receptor.

Semaglutide works to suppress hunger cravings and suppresses the appetite, resulting in weight loss. It is typically injected once a week, something you can have done at the Mojo Vitality clinic by our nurse or administered yourself at home.

Semaglutide is a common type of GLP-1 drug. The FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss in 2021.
Name brand semaglutide drugs include Ozempic and Wegovy, however Mojo Vitality partners with government regulated U.S. compound pharmacies that make the generic form of semaglutide which is as effective - and often much more affordable.
Semaglutide is a physician prescribed medication that can be mailed straight to you by Mojo Vitality, or our nurse can inject you in our clinic. Vials are offered in different sizes and costs, and dosing is determined depending on each individual and the compound pharmacy. A consult with Dr. Cullison at Mojo is the first step in determining if semaglutide is right for you.

Tirzepatide (GLP-1)

Sometimes referred to as "Semaglutide 2.0", this medication is a dual acting polypeptide that binds to GLP-1 and GIP receptors in our bodies.

Tirzepatide activates receptors of hormones secreted from the intestine (glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)) to reduce appetite and food intake.

Tirzepatide works to slow the movement of food through the stomach, which helps you feel fuller for longer - resulting in weight loss.

Tirzepatide is a common type of GLP-1 drug. The FDA approved tirzepatide for weight loss in 2023.

Name brand tirzepatide drugs include Mounjaro and Zepbound. Mojo partners with government regulated U.S. compound pharmacies that make the generic form of tirzepatide which is as effective, and often more affordable. 
Like semaglutide, tirzepatide is injected weekly and can be administered at Mojo Vitality or at your home. Vials are offered in different sizes and costs, and dosing is determined depending on each individual and the compound pharmacy. A consult with Dr. Cullison at Mojo is the first step in determining if semaglutide is right for you.

Other Options

Peptide therapy, hormone therapy, and other medications such as phentermine.

Phentermine

Phentermine is a prescription weight loss medication. 
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it in 1959 for short-term use of up to 12 weeks for people older than 16.
Phentermine is a stimulant and is available if you have a prescription. Because taking phentermine comes with a risk of dependence, it is considered a controlled substance. It’s chemically similar to the stimulant amphetamine, which is also a controlled substance.

Hormone Therapy

Testosterone can help men and women reduce body fat, increase muscle mass, and strengthen bones and muscles. 
Low thyroid can cause weight gain and obesity.
Ask your doctor at Mojo Vitality what hormone replacement therapy is right for you to help with weight loss.

Peptide Therapy
