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. By pairing a prescription for Tirzepatide with a custom weight loss program and nutritional counseling, we may help you lose weight and keep it off, while improving your markers of insulin resistance.
Tirzepatide is a medication that may 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.
“I have personally saved over $400 monthly on food and alcohol costs while being on first, Semaglutide and now Tirzepatide. I never thought I would save money on this program. I suggest Blue Tree Health to everyone."

Tirzepatide is an 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 may help you lose weight. It’s also paired with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, to help improve blood sugar levels in adults.
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 may help you feel fuller, slow down digestion, and lower blood sugar in the process.
You may lose up to 22.5% of your body weight on average by taking the recommended dosage of Tirzepatide—15 mg once per week.
