The Science Behind Appetite Control:
Ozempic/Wegovy (Semaglutide) & Mounjaro/Zepbound (Tirzepatide)

Nature has equipped our bodies with an appetite-controlling ally: the hormone GLP-1. This hormone signals satiety, which may reduce appetite  and support improved portion control, making it crucial for effective weight management. Semaglutide, available under the brand names Ozempic® and Wegovy®, enhances these effects by promoting insulin production and reducing glucagon levels. This process may help you feel full sooner and longer, which may support more sustainable weight loss when paired with healthy lifestyle changes.

Tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, also mimics the appetite-suppressing effects of GLP-1 and aids in breaking down fats and sugars, boosting metabolism and further controlling appetite. With our physician-supervised weight loss programs, including personalized weight loss plans and weight loss injections, you can effectively manage your weight and achieve your wellness goals. Our comprehensive approach includes nutrition coaching and non-surgical weight loss methods to support your journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Metairie GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications FAQs

Let us ease your weight loss transition by answering the commonly asked questions about our Metairie In-Office Weight Loss program.

  • How effective are weight loss medications?

    Weight loss injections can be effective, especially when used as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan including diet and exercise. Some people may lose significant weight, while others might see more modest results. The effectiveness varies based on individual factors like adherence to the treatment plan and lifestyle changes. You have to be able to adhere to healthy habits in order to see the desired results you want.


  • How much weight can I lose?

    In clinical studies, the average weight loss was 12.5%, yet some of our patients have achieved even greater results. Weight loss varies between each individual as factors like body's response, eating habits, and lifestyle changes can play a part in your results.


  • What makes Chronos different from other weight loss clinics?

    Our team provides expert guidance tailored to each individual's weight loss journey, earning trust from local physicians. We ensure transparency in pricing: there are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees; clients only pay for medication packages moving forward. The one-time consultation fee covers unlimited access to follow-up care. Our in-office or at-home programs make our process convenient and adaptable to any lifestyle. At Chronos, we put our clients' best interest over profit.

  • What foods should I eat on GLP-1 medications?

    Focus on smaller portions, plenty of fluids, and protein paired with higher fiber foods to every meal. Do not skip meals! Stay hydrated!

  • What should I avoid on GLP-1 medications?

    To minimize discomfort, experts suggest minimizing intake of high-fat foods (like fried or greasy foods)and alcohol are the two most important groups to avoid. The bottom-line is to listen to your body and track its response to certain foods. Though every person is different, experts have noticed these trends in patient complaints.

  • How do the GLP-1 medications work?

    They slow down the rate at which your stomach empties, which signals to your brain that you are full, reducing feelings of hunger. As a result, these injections can help you achieve a more controlled sustainable approach to weight loss.

  • What are the side effects?

    The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, & headaches.

  • Are the side effects worth it?

    Each person will experience varied side effects based on their body's individual reaction. Most patients report side effects are tolerable and the benefits outweight the discomfort. Some patients experience NO side effects.

  • How do I store this medication?

    Store medication in a refrigerator. Do NOT freeze or store medication near the refrigerator's cooling element.

  • How quickly will I see results?

    Most patients will begin to see weight loss after their inital dose has increased one to two times, typically within the first eight weeks, but most begin to see results within 12 weeks.
