Our Tirzepatide for Weight Loss Program in Austin is a first of its kind weight loss program that is specifically designed for those with insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. In phase 3 clinical trials, patients lost an average of 15 more pounds with tirzepatide than with a placebo and an average of 23 pounds more than the placebo group when they used tirzepatide and insulin. By pairing a prescription of Tirzepatide with a custom weight loss program and nutritional counseling, we’ll help you lose weight and keep it off, while improving your markers of insulin resistance.
*You can get Tirzepatide at a discounted rate directly from Blue Tree Health, so you won't have to fight with insurance or overpay out of pocket.
We do have a limited supply, so please call to confirm availability!
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that can help you regulate blood sugar levels, by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. This makes it great for patients with type 2 diabetes, as it can lower your hemoglobin A1C levels—lowering your chances of developing complications from diabetes. Tirzepatide can also help with weight loss by decreasing food intake and slowing down gastric emptying, which can make you feel fuller longer and reduce how much food you eat.
*After the first two months, patients can choose between a maintenance dose of 5 mg for $395 or gradually increase their monthly supply up to a maximum of 15 mg for $595, which may be recommended if you are not losing weight.

Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved injectable prescription medication for adults with insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. Technically referred to as a “GLP-1 receptor agonist medicine,” Tirzepatide mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) by suppressing appetite and increasing energy expenditure, which can help you lose weight. It’s also paired with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, to help improve blood sugar levels in adults.
Yes. Mounjaro® is simply the branded version of Tirzepatide that’s made and distributed by Eli Lilly, a US-based pharmaceutical company. That said, Mounjaro® contains Tirzepatide and should not be used while taking other GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines.
Tirzepatide works similarly to the other drugs in the GLP-1 family, such as Semaglutide, by releasing more insulin into the bloodstream.
Unlike other GLP-1 receptor medications, however, Tirzepatide also contains an extra molecule—gastric inhibitory peptide—that gives it a slight edge. This can mimic the action of two gastrointestinal hormones involved in blood sugar control, which can effectively tell your pancreas to release more insulin after you eat, and tell your liver to lower the amount of glucose it makes. This can help you feel fuller, slow down digestion, and lower blood sugar in the process.
Yes. Tirzepatide is FDA-approved for use in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. However, there is proof that it’s safe and effective in treating obesity, whether you’re diabetic or not.
